“This semi-clandestine compilation was first published by Lazenby & Avery. Avery, in his ‘Preface’ to the Whippingham Papers, 1888, makes this remark: “Only a few years back, a remarkable and lengthened correspondence filled the columns of such domestic periodicals as The Family Herald, The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine, &c., the pith of which was collected and issued in a volume entitled ‘EXPERIENCES OF FLAGELLATION’, 1885. That the topic has not lost its interest with the present generation may be estimated by the rapidity with which the first edition of this work was sold.”” (see MENDES 7-A) Thus leading to this early reprint possibly done for Avery MENDES 7-B.
