From: acelt@delphi.com (Felis uncia) Subject: children, or no? Date: 25 Jul 1994 16:16:11 GMT As this has been a popular thread of discussion lately I thought I'd suggest an *intresting* book recommended me by an herbalist friend of mine. I think the title may just say it all.... Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renissance. John M. Riddle, auth. Harvard Univ. Press ISBN 0-674-16875-5 (cloth) ISBN 0-674-16876-3 (paper) The author has researched the Egyptian papryii, Greco-Roman wirtings, Talmudic commentary, &c... concerning contraception / abortion methods, moraes, and herbal recipies. 'Good reading -- Look up the entry on Queen Anne's Lace' (p.58). B*B, ---Ounce (Felis kittenless)
