The curtain draws up, and suddenly a hundred and fifty years are rolled away, and in bright light stands out before us the whole life of the past; the gay dresses, the polished wit, the careless morals, and all the revel and dancing of those merry years before the mighty deluge of the Revolution. “The palaces and marble stairs of old Venice are no longer desolate, but thronged with scarlet-robed senators, prisoners dark magician girl porn gifs with the doom of the Ten upon their heads cross the Bridge of Sighs, at dead of night the nun slips out of the convent gate to the dark canal where a gondola is waiting, we assist at the _parties fines_ of cardinals, and we see the bank made at faro.

Cornely dragon ball porn girls naked and the fast taverns of the London of 1760; we pass from Versailles to the Winter Palace of St. Petersburg in the days of Catherine, from the policy of the Great Frederick to the lewd mirth of strolling-players, and the presence-chamber of the Vatican is succeeded by an intrigue in a garret. “It is indeed a new experience to read this history of a man who, refraining from nothing, has concealed nothing; of one who stood in the courts of Louis the Magnificent for Madame de dark magician girl porn gifs Pompadour and the nobles of the _ancien regime_, and had an affair with an adventuress of Denmark Street, Soho; who was bound over to keep the peace by Fielding, and knew Cagliostro. “The friend of popes and kings and noblemen, and of all the male and female ruffians and vagabonds of Europe, abbe, soldier, charlatan, gamester, financier, diplomatist, _viveur_, philosopher, virtuoso, ‘chemist, fiddler, and buffoon’, each of these, and all of these, was dark magician girl porn gifs Giacomo Casanova, Chevalier de Seingalt, Knight of the Golden Spur.” The English translation of Casanova’s _Memoirs_, from which the foregoing is taken, is a valuable work. To-day the twelve volume set, of which 1,000 copies were privately printed in 1894, commands anything from thirty to forty-five pounds in the sale-room or book-seller’s shop. We have been told that the printer of this English version was prosecuted, and all copies of the work confiscated by the police, who were ordered to burn them. Further, we are told that the copies we buy and read to-day are the copies burned by the police. If this be so, all honour to the police, for the destruction of any scholarly rendering of these _Memoirs_ can only be described as an act of vandalism.

Because Casanova is not for the multitude, does it follow he is not for the few?

Translated into the English tongue, Casanova’s _Memoirs_ must be “privately printed” by reason of his plain speech in the matter of amorous intrigue, yet, were every erotic word and scene expunged, the work would still be of fascinating interest and inestimable value to the student of history.

There exists a bowdlerised and abridged edition of these _Memoirs_; we have never seen, and we never wish to see, this work.

A study of life, without a leavening of human nature, is worse than useless. Casanova, if any reliance is to be set on his writings, was a sexual athlete--a member of that rare and remarkable class of men who are capable of amazing feats in the lists of love. Frequent reference is made to his prowess and observations by the great sexual psychologists, Havelock Ellis in particular. Bloch, (_The Sexual Life of Our Time_), quoting from a work by Oscar A.

Schmitz, has some interesting remarks dark magician girl porn gifs to make on the character of Casanova. “Casanova,” he says, “is pre-eminently the erotic, also crafty and deceitful (seducer), not, however, for the gratification of his need of power, but rather for the agreeable satisfaction of his need for sensual love; ...

Casanova is human, cares always for the happiness of the woman he loves, and devotes to dark magician girl porn gifs them a tender reflection; ... Casanova is the typical feminist, he possesses a profound understanding of woman’s soul, is not disappointed by love, and needs for his life’s happiness continuous contact with feminine natures....” “Whatever I have done in the course dark magician girl porn gifs of my life,” says Casanova,[36] “whether it be good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent.... Man is free, but his freedom ceases when he has no faith in it.... Man is free; yet we must not suppose he is at liberty to do everything he pleases, for he becomes a slave the moment he allows his actions to be ruled by his passions. The man who has sufficient power over himself to wait until his nature has recovered its even balance is the truly wise man, but such beings are seldom met with.... “The sanguine temperament rendered me very sensible to the attractions of voluptuousness.... The chief business of my life has always been to indulge my senses; I never knew anything of greater importance.
