1 Lacroix, Paul History of Prostitution Among all the People of the World, from the Most Remote Antiquity to the Present Day 3 Volumes
Chicago Pascal Covici, Publisher 1926 Hardcover Very Good 
Three volumes (600 pages) , 3 frontispieces, boards, cloth backstrip, paper label, very good. "This edition of History of Prostitution, in three volumes, issued to subscribers only, is limited to twelve hundred and fifty numbered sets, of which this is Number 362." From the translator's foreword: "The History of Prostitution, by Paul LaCroix, 'Pierre Dufour' or 'Bibliophile Jacob, ' as its author was variously known to the reading public of the 19th century, is not a work of literature, though it may possess literary qualities. It is not even a work of pure science, though it already has proved its value to the savants of sex, who have drawn upon it freely. It is, rather, one of the most curious and most human of documents and, as such, an invaluable source book to scientist or literateur. " FR5-2

2 Lacroix, Paul Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages and At the Period of the Renaissance
London Bickers & Son circa 1870 Hardcover Very Good- with no dust jacket 
Illustrated with Fourteen Chromolithographic Prints by F. Kellerhoven, Regamey, and L. Allard and upwards of Four Hundred Engravings on Wood. Xx, 504 pages, 14 plates in color, well illustrated, half leather, back-strip sun darkened otherwise very good. From the Encyclopædia Britannica (Eleventh ed. ) : Paul Lacroix (April 27, 1806 - October 16, 1884) , French author and journalist, was born in Paris, the son of a novelist. He is best known under his pseudonym of P. L. Jacob, bibliophile, or Bibliophile Jacob, suggested by the constant interest he took in public libraries and books generally. Lacroix was an extremely prolific and varied writer. More than twenty historical romances alone came from his pen, and he also wrote a variety of serious historical works, including a history of Napoleon III, and the life and times of the Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. He was the joint author with Ferdinand Séré of a five-volume work, Le moyen âge et la renaissance (1847) , a standard work on the manners, customs and dress of those times, the chief merit of which lies in the great number of illustrations it contains. He also wrote many monographs on phases of the history of culture, including Manners, Custom and Dress During the Middle Ages and During the Renaissance Period. Over the signature Pierre Dufour was published an exhaustive Histoire de la prostitution (1851-1852) , which has always been attributed to Lacroix. His works on bibliography were also extremely numerous. In 1885 he was appointed librarian of the Arsenal Library, Paris. ; 504 pages
