just in case you missed it, "Scatalogic [sic] Rites of All Nations" (1891) is "Not for general perusal" - a label I had never seen before. Must have been one of those books you had to request from the librarian personally.
the chapter titles are hard to beat: “Tolls of Flatulence Exacted of Prostitutes in France.” “Consumption of Feces by the Mentally Insane.” and this one:pic.twitter.com/2w3go3R6Fe
unfortunately not much use for my research, but I do hope to find a way to use "excrementitious remedial agents" sometime soon
Sorry, one more thing about this amazing book - it has the most detailed index I've ever seen. This is just part of the entry for "flatulence". I hope whoever does my next index will see this:pic.twitter.com/jHDqnNzLq7
