(2) PO names to fEP (one w/strike-out). Translation of a humorous satire on the woes of marriage translated from a version penned in the 16th century by illustrious statesman and historian, Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527); author of the treatise on statecraft, The Prince, in which it is argued, for pragmatism, political cunning and unethical methods of governance is justified. It has been suggested that this lively novella of marital unhappiness by Machiavelli is autobiographical --- that antecedents can be traced to old Latin and sacred writings of the Hebrews, renders it unlikely. Though unstated, this edition is of Thomas Roscoe's translation.

Another describes a patient lying on the couch as he spills all to his psychoanalyst: K-C S N N-L-S-S ("Casey is in analysis"). The humor is so-so; the drawings are little masterpieces of economy and urban wit. About 60 unnumbered pages. Dustjacket shows insignificant shelf-use; boards are clean and sound; inked gift dedication dated Christmas 1984 (first printing, thus) on front endpaper recto; text is clean and strong.
