Thelyphthora Or A Treatise On Female Ruin

Thelyphthora Or A Treatise On Female Ruin, In Its Causes, Effects, Consequences, Prevention, & Remedy Considered On The Basis Of Divine Law.

This is the first republication of this rare
Three Volume Set of books favoring polygamy!

When this book was first published, its author, the Reverend Martin Madan (pronounced “Madden”) was the most famous clergyman in all the world. His Chapel at the Lock Hospital was renowned for its Sunday night concerts and his hymnal was full of majestic songs of worship. He was the most prolific living composer of sacred music and had long been the standard bearer for the Evangelicals. Madan’s pen had always been free of mercenary interests since he’d been blessed with a great inheritance and yet this rich man had spent the last thirty-five years of his life ministering to the least beloved of society, the disease ridden prostitutes of the Lock Hospital which he founded. The front cover features a portrait of Lock Hospital as it appeared in the 18th century. It was built with funds raised by Martin Madan. Madan was godfather to Samuel Wesley, the famous hymn composer and organist who was the son of the famed hymn writer, Charles Wesley. It is undisputed that Madan himself was the most prolific hymn composer of his day. This Three Volume Set of Madan’s pro-polygamy books is in print again for the first time in over 228 years.

Volumes 1 & 2 of this three volume set were originally published in 1780. However, when the third volume was published in 1781, the first two were republished with minor additions to the text and some of the page numbers were changed. When the third volume which was published in 1781 makes reference to page numbers or text from volumes 1 & 2, it is to one of the 1781 volumes that it refers. For this reason, this republication is of the updated 1781 three volume set.
