<h2>Authors’ Note</h2>
<p><i>It has long been the belief of the authors
that Love-making should be included
in the regular curriculum of our schools.
It seems to us the most important branch
of co-education.</i></p>
<p><i>How few of us know how to make love
properly, and how very few, after making
it, know how to keep it!</i></p>
<p><i>So much depends upon the kind of love
which is made. There are no artificial
methods of preserving love, but the best
kind will keep forever. Few beginners
know how to make the lasting kind, and
many, even, of those with vast experience
are still quite clumsy. The only way is to
keep at it.</i></p>
<p><i>We hope that this book will fill a long-felt
want. Surely of all long-felt wants the
want of love seems longest.</i></p>
<p><i>It is for the earnest student of True
Love that we have compiled this cyclopedia.</i></p>
