This was a satire on marital infidelity as was common in his period of French history but what is interesting is how he considered women's considerations so important for the marriage he writes: "if her mind has not entirely destroyed by your having kept her in a state of ignorance you will find.it is still possible for you to be feel drawn to one another from time to time." Bound on 1/4 brown cloth over blue paper covered boards blue paper spine label lettered in black. A very good copy with just a few spots of rubbing or soiling. Extra spine label laid in.
