Albany: Knickerbocker Publishing. Very Good. 1870. Hardcover. 138 pages; Clean and tight in original brown cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine, cloth rubbed at lower spine, small bit of ad for this book on ffep. Bundling was a sort of practice run at marital compatibility under the family roof; couples were each wound up in cloth or sacks then shared a bed with a bundling board keeping them apart. The tradition originated either in the Netherlands or in the British Isles and later became common in colonial United States, especially in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. In courtship, it allows intimacy without intercourse. .
