Hildreth's Advice for Marriage, 1891

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.
