Aby C.E. Boniface. (Also written Clasius, of Het Proces om een Komedielootje by F.C.L. Bosman, 1928:p 323)

The original text

Originally announced (on 24 may 1834) as De Gekwetste Reputatie, of Het Komedielootje ("The wounded reputation, or the comedy lottery ticket"). A satire of his former friend and later arch-rival Joseph Suasso de Lima in which the latter is equated to a learned baboon.

Not published, but available in a number of manuscripts in Cape Town. The one used by F.C.L. Bosman contains a caricature of De Lima on the inside cover, and the title page has: "Clasius, of Het Proces om een Komedie-Lootjie. Kluchtig en Geschiedkundig Treurspel" ("Clasius, or The Process of the Comedy-lottery ticket. [A] farcical and historical tragedy"). It is dated Vlyt en Kunst, 1834.
