Marriage

"At what age ought I to marry?" This is an important question that you ought to settle before you allow yourself to fall in love. "The age at which it is proper for a man to marry is indicated by that at which he attains maturity." Chock full of useful advice, Marriage: Before & After was written at the turn of the 20th century. Selling more than 200,000 copies at the time it was nothing short of a publishing phenomenon. Its advice was, for the most part sound, if a bit racy, and sometimes downright politically incorrect.
