Magdalenism: An Inquiry into the Extent, Causes, and Consequences of Prostitution in Edinburgh (1840) is a book written by William Tait. The book is an in-depth exploration of the issue of prostitution in Edinburgh during the early 19th century. Tait examines the causes of prostitution and the effects it has on society, particularly on women who engage in the profession. The book also focuses on the efforts made by various organizations to combat prostitution and the social stigma attached to it. The title of the book is derived from the Magdalene Asylums, which were institutions established to provide refuge and rehabilitation for women who had engaged in prostitution. Tait's work is an important historical document that sheds light on a significant social issue of the time, and provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of people during that era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
