[Uxorius, pseudonym]. Hymen: An Accurate Description of the Ceremonies used in Marriage, By every Nation in the Known World. Shewing, the Oddity of some, the Absurdity of others, the Drollery of many, and the Real or Intended Piety of all. Dedicated to the Ladies of Great-Britain and Ireland..., 1st edition, printed for I. Pottinger, 1760, typographical head and tail-pieces and initial letters, occasional light spotting and finger marks, first and final leaves with marginal staining from turn-ins, hinges split, old printed catalogue description mounted on front pastedown, contemporary sheep, worn, with joints cracked and slight loss at spine ends, large 12mo A curious volume which rarely comes onto the market; the last copy sold at auction was in 1976. The unknown author details the marriage customs and rites of Jews, Indians, Peruvians, Bramins, Caribbees, Mexicans, the savages of Darien and New Grenada, the inhabitants of Hudson's-bay, Missisippi and Canada, and of Mahometans and Hottentots, amongst others, including the English. The various countries and cultures are dealt with fairly haphazardly in terms of chapter order, and the author, no doubt with a view to the book selling well, majors on the more sensational themes of his subject, such as incest, premarital relations, adultery and its various punishments, and polygamy. One of the curious ceremonies described is that of the Hottentot marriage: "the priest... enters the circle of men, and coming up to the bridegroom, pisses upon him a little. The bridegroom receives the stream with transport, rubbing it briskly all over his body, and making with his long nails, for the Hottentots never cut their's) [sic] several deep scratches in his skin, that the urine may penetrate and soak the farther."
