One sly word in the title made this the most quoted marriage manual of the Victorian age. E. J. Hardy counsels on the choice of a wife, marriage-made men, money, quarrels and the whole art of wedded contentment, with anecdotes on every page. Genial, funny and shrewd since 1885. The handbook that winks as it advises.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
