obscene book, or even to employ obscene words. he holds that the grand subject--the reproduction of the human race--which runs more or less through all the essays in this volume, is, in itself, most pure, and that the words which are necessary, adequately, and correctly to describe it in its various phases and ramifications, have acquired the stigma of obscene only in modern times, and, though an ultra-fastidiousness, which would hesitate to apply the word breech to a man's small clothes, but would rather designate them as unmentionables, indescribables, or femoral habiliments. 29
