When an English-language translation of Krafft-Ebing’s Psychopathia Sexualis arrived at the offices of The Journal of Mental Science for review in 1893, the good gentlemen doctors were horrified. (For more shock at ‘foul beastliness’, see my post on ‘Edwardian morality’ on this site.)

But they overcame their horror (slightly) and went on to run this review, by ‘E. R’, in the January 1894 edition.
