[Gutenberg 31036] • The Lovers Assistant; Or, New Art of Love

First published in 1760, this is Henry Fielding's updated version of Ovid's Art of Love. According to Wikipedia: "Henry Fielding (22 April 1707 - 8 October 1754) was an English novelist and dramatist known for his rich earthy humour and satirical prowess, and as the author of the novel Tom Jones. Aside from his literary achievements, he has a significant place in the history of law-enforcement, having founded (with his half-brother John) what some have called London's first police force, the Bow Street Runners, using his authority as a magistrate."
