Publisher's Synopsis

""A Dialogue of the Effectual Proverbs in the English Tongue Concerning Marriage"" is a book written by John Heywood and originally published in 1546. The book is a collection of proverbs and sayings related to the subject of marriage, and is presented in the form of a dialogue between two characters. Heywood was a playwright and poet who is known for his satirical works, and this book is no exception. The proverbs and sayings included in the book are often humorous and sarcastic, and provide a window into the attitudes towards marriage in the 16th century. The book was reprinted in 1906, with an introduction by William Carew Hazlitt, making it accessible to modern readers. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of marriage and the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
