Illustrated with 2 engravings. "Very rare first edition", Lemonnyer 11-26. "If any erotic writer deserves to be called a classic, like him, only a few have understood how to master eroticism through wit, style, brilliant inventiveness, psychological appreciation of characters and witty dialogue. His delicious irony makes readers laugh at the great and eternal weaknesses of the human tragic comedy. He is a grotesque erotic artist like Rowlandson in his cartoons. Nerciat's erotic novels are a document that makes the revolution understandable. The little novella "Le Doctorat im-promptu..." is very sumptuous, refined and witty. A young girl, on her way to see her future husband, tells her friend, with whom she was tribally connected, about a very strange adventure she had had on the trip that before the wedding "earns her an unexpected doctorate.
