Anthropometamorphosis: Man transform'd: or, the artificiall changling : historically presented, in the mad and cruell gallantry, foolish bravery, ridiculous beauty, filthy finenesse, and loathsome loveliness of most nations, fashioning and altering their bodies from the mould intended by nature; with figures of those transfigurations. ... With a vindication of the regular beauty and honesty of nature. And an appendix of the pedigree of the English gallant. /
