Speaker 1: by David Wales. Cupid's Cyclopedia by Oliver Herford and John
Speaker 1: cecil Clay. Author's note. It has long been the belief
Speaker 1: of the authors that love making should be included in
Speaker 1: the regular curriculum of our schools. It seems to us
Speaker 1: the most important branch of co education. How few of
Speaker 1: us know how to make love properly, and how very few,
Speaker 1: after making it, know how to keep it. So much
Speaker 1: depends upon the kind of love which is made. There
Speaker 1: are no artificial methods of preserving love, but the best
Speaker 1: kind will keep forever. Few beginners know how to make
Speaker 1: the lasting kind, and many, even of those with vast experience,
Speaker 1: are still quite clumsy. The only way is to keep
Speaker 1: at it. We hope that this book will fill a
Speaker 1: long felt want. Surely, of all longfelt wants, the want
Speaker 1: of love seems longest. It is for the earnest student
Speaker 1: of true love that we have compiled this cyclopedia. O. Hereford,
