Excerpt from Sex-Love and Its Place in a Free SocietyThe subject of Sex is most difficult to deal with, not only on account of a certain prudery as well as a natural reticence on the subject, but doubtless also because the passion itself being so tremendously strong and occupying such a large part of human thought and words being so scanty and inadequate on the subject - everything that is said is liable to be misunderstood; the most violent inferences are made, and equivocations surmised, from the simplest remarks qualified admissions of liberty are interpreted into recommendations of unbridled licence; and generally the perspective of literary expression is turned upside down by the effect of the unfamiliarity of the topic on the reader's mind.There is indeed a vast deal of fetishism in the current treatment of Sex; and the subject is dealt with as though it lay quite out of line with any other need or faculty of human nature. Nor can one altogether be surprised at this when one perceives of what vast import Sex is in the scheme of things, and how deeply it it has been associated since the earliest times not only with man's personal impulses but even with his religious sentiments and ceremonials.Next to hunger this is doubtless the most primitive and, imperative of our needs. But in modern civilised life Sex enters probably even more into consciousness -than hunger. For the hunger-needs of the human race are in the later societies fairly well satisfied, but the sex-desires are strongly restrained, both by law and custom, from satisfaction - and so assert themselves all the more in thought.To find the place of these desires, their utterance, their control, their personal import, their social import, is a tremendous problem to every youth and girl, man and woman.There are a few of both sexes, doubtless, who hardly feel the passion - who have never been in love, and who experience no strong sexual appetite - but these are rare. Practically the passion is a matter of universal experience; and speaking broadly and generally we may say it is a matter on which it is quite desirable that every adult at some time or other should have experience - actual and physical, as well as emotional. There may be exceptions; but, as said, the sex-instinct lies so deep and is so universal, that for the understanding of life - of one's own life, of that of others, and of human nature in general - as well as for the proper development of one's own capacities, such experience is almost indispensable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is a valuable work on veterinary gynecology and obstetrics for the welfare of mares and foals. The author, Conrad Mitchell, aimed to give the farmers and breeders all the necessary instructions to be followed at the time of delivery. The goal was to ensure that no casualties occurred in complex cases and that the breeders could give emergency treatment to the animal. In addition, the author delivered helpful details on some diseases that these animals might suffer from. He wrote about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of these diseases in a straightforward manner. To make a lasting impact on the readers, so they retain the information quickly and remember it, Mitchell included accurate illustrations. It is a perfect work to get an idea of how Mares were treated during the olden times.
