Cicily Martin by herself

A reprint, possibly facsmile, of The Life and Adventures of Cicily Martin (c.1846-1850s), an early work of American erotica. Cicily moves to Manhattan from the country, and is lured into life in a brothel. She concludes, 'True, I have painted VICE in all its gayest colors -- I havw decked it with flowers; -- but I have done so solely to make it worthier, the solemner, sacrifice of it to VIRTUE -- Farewell.'.
