Bundling: Its Origin, Progress and Decline is a historical book written by Henry Reed Stiles. The book provides a detailed account of the practice of bundling, which was a custom in early America where unmarried couples would sleep together in the same bed, fully clothed, to conserve warmth. The author traces the origins of bundling to Europe and its spread to the American colonies in the 17th century. Stiles explores the various attitudes towards bundling during this time period, including religious and societal views. He also delves into the decline of bundling in the 19th century, as it became associated with immorality and promiscuity. The book includes anecdotes and stories from individuals who practiced bundling or witnessed it firsthand, providing a unique perspective on this little-known aspect of American history. Overall, Bundling: Its Origin, Progress and Decline is a fascinating exploration of a once-common practice that has since faded into obscurity. It offers a glimpse into the social norms and customs of early America and sheds light on the changing attitudes towards relationships and sexuality over time.How pure were the Puritans? This remarkable book exposes the startling custom of the Puritans which, said Washington Irving, was the cause for an amazing number of sturdy brats born into the state without the license of the law or the benefit of clergy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
