Thelyphthora Or A Treatise on Female Ruin


Book Description

This is Volume 2 of 3 volumes. In 1780, the most famous clergyman in the world (Martin Madan) published a book which shook the Christian world. In the book he discussed marriage in great detail and defended polygamy. This is the second volume of that book. It contains one of the most comprehensive discussions of polygamy you will ever read. Because of the publication of this book, the so called men of God in seminaries have erased Martin Madan from their accounts of the great evangelists, philanthropists, and composers of the Eighteenth Century. You may now read what has been censored for the last 228 years. This book covers the subjects of Marriage, Adultery, Whoredom, Polygamy, Fornication, Divorce; With many other Incidental Matters; particularly including An Examination of the Principles and Tendency of Stat. 26 Geo. II c. 33 commonly called The Marriage Act. Printed for J. Dodsley M.DCC.LXXXI This is the first printing of this book in over 228 years!
