PUBLISHER'S PREFACE.
No author can lay claim to a higher inspiration than that
his work was conceived in the noble purpose of benefiting his
fellow man and the reader of the following pages cannot
;
doubt that it was in this spirit and solely with this purpose
that Dr. Sanger compiled and gave to the American public
"The History of Prostitution." The subject may be termed
a delicate one ; nevertheless, it is essentially a practical one,
and as such has commanded and must continue to conmiand
the attention of the law-maker, the physician, and the human-
itarian.
A
vice which has been co-existent with the human race,
which has preyed upon the morals as well as the health of all
peoples in all ages, \vhich in the past has defied the edicts of
despotism no less than at present it defies the mandates of
—
repressive legislation such a vice should not in any spirit
of prudery be put aside as unfit for public consideration, -
.
Dr. Sanger, who possessed unusual facilities for studying
both the causes and effects of prostitution, supplemented his
investigation of the subject on this side of the water by two
years of observation and research abroad, devoting in all about
seven years to the preparation of these pages. The diligence
and fidehty he gave to the undertaking are fully attested in
the great volume of instructive data he has compiled. And
where the author dropped the subject the editor of the present
edition has taken it up and endeavored to bring the investiga
tion down to the present date.
