Originally published in 1891, this hilarious (and informative) collection is a treasure trove of essential advice any man or woman, or couple, would be foolish to ignore. From advice about how to find the perfect partner. . . * Don' t marry a villain. * Don' t marry a duke, or anyone who travels on his title. * If money is your object, the older and uglier he is, the better. * Avoid slovenly dressed girls or heedless men. . . . to advice about how to wed. . . * Don' t propose on a wash-day, in the rain, at breakfast or in a tunnel. * Marry at home or at church, in good form, without display. . . . as well as general words of wisdom. . . * Don' t expect too much from your marriage. * Don' t cross your husband. . . . Hildreth' s Advice for Marriage is a delightful collection that is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago.
Hildreth was the pen name of James W. Donovan, a writer in Victorian-era England. This book was originally published in 1891 by dime novel publishing house J. S. Ogilvie.
