From publisher's note: "It is a Rabelaisian paradox that the custom of bundling was brought to America by the Puritans. Only rarely do historians make any mention of this most unpuritanic method of amatory conduct. ... Stiles collected every historical reference .... rich and rare treat that waits in the pages of this roguish volume. Stiles book was kept from the pulic for many years. We leave it to you to judge why this collection of historical facts was censored and repressed." Index. Small format. 146 pp.
