Description

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.
