It was first published in a private edition of eleven volumes, including an index, which appeared over seven years beginning around 1888. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The work itself is enormous, amounting to over one million words, the eleven original volumes amounting to over 4,000 pages. The text is repetitive and highly disorganised, but its frank discussion of sexual matters and other hidden aspects of Victorian life make it a rare and valuable social document. According to Steven Marcus, it is virtually the only source for information on London's houses of prostitution, in which Walter spent many hours. It has been described as \"one of the strangest and most obsessive books ever written.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages.
