5
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>cecil Clay. Author's note. It has long been the belief

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>of the authors that love making should be included in

7
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 1>the regular curriculum of our schools. It seems to us

8
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the most important branch of co education. How few of

9
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>us know how to make love properly, and how very few,

10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>after making it, know how to keep it. So much

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>depends upon the kind of love which is made. There

12
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>are no artificial methods of preserving love, but the best

13
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 1>kind will keep forever. Few beginners know how to make

14
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the lasting kind, and many, even of those with vast experience,

15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>are still quite clumsy. The only way is to keep

16
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>at it. We hope that this book will fill a

17
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>long felt want. Surely, of all longfelt wants, the want

18
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>of love seems longest. It is for the earnest student

19
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 1>of true love that we have compiled this cyclopedia. O. Hereford,
