Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Marriage
To be happy in marriage life, nay, (unless you marry with the prospect of sinking into a lower state of moral feeling, and of gradually quenching in yourself all hope, and all aspiration that looks beyond animal comforts, and the outside shows of worldly respectability), in order not to be miser able, you must have a soul-mate, as well as a house or a yoke-mate you must have a husband whom, before the altar, making yourself at that moment distinctly c'onscious of the presence of Almighty God, to whom you appeal, you can safely, that is, according to your confident belief, groucnded on sufficient Opportunities of observation, conscien tiously vow to love, honour, and respect. With what disgust would you not turn from a sordid, with what horror would you not recoil' from a contagious or infectious garment offered to you?
