References: Adams F-182; Olschki Choix de livres anciens VI 5817 This essay extolling marriage is an early artifact of modern ethnography in that it poses as a survey of marriage customs through history and around the world. In true humanist fashion Fausto mines the ancient historians for most of his material. So we find out that in Lacedaemonia or Atlantis men who refused to marry were forced to run naked through the forum in the dead of winter and that in Assyria husbands were bound by law to obey their wives. The text concludes with a long series of Q&A "quesiti" concerning marriage ceremonies in which we find out why the Boetians crowned brides with asparagus why Persian couples wait until spring to "consummate" any marriage and why it is customary to grease the newlyweds' doorway with pig fat or wolf fat. The book is also notable for its lovely large woodcut initials including a letter T showing a satyr and a man at table together a P with a bare-breasted woman driving a triumphal chariot and an N with a lion-headed man astride a swimming horse.

From the half-title page: "It is the tale of John Witherby physical superman in a contest of strength and racing smashing violence with a man called the Doctor and his gorillas for possession of John's inheritance and for the fancy of the Doctor's female decoy. Savage and brutal without let-down it casts a rare spell." From the jacket flap: "It is a favorable sign in a murder mystery if the author has refrained from the use of any secret underground passage and of any sly and slinking Orientals. That means a suspicion that the mystery has originality. And originality is the feature that first flashes at you out of the pages of Cross Over Nine. The Macaulay Company hardcover books
