An amazing book, written by the Reverend E.J. Hardy. Oscar Wilde praised it extravagantly: "It is a complete handbook to an earthly Paradise, and its author may be regarded as the Murray of matrimony and the Baedeker of bliss." This book provides something really useful and thought-provoking, as well as entertaining, for anyone contemplating or living in the state of matrimony. "We strongly recommend this book as one of the best of wedding presents. It is a complete handbook to an earthly Paradise, and its author may be regarded as the Murray of Matrimony and the Baedeker of Bliss." - Pall Mall Gazette. "The author has successfully accomplished a difficult task in writing a clever and practical book on the important subject of matrimony.... This book, which is at once entertaining and full of wise precepts, deserves to be widely read." - Morning Post. "An entertaining volume.... The new guide to matrimonial felicity." - Standard, Leader. "A clever, readable, and entertaining book.... This delicious book." - Literary Churchman. "This most elucidatory treatise.... As a 'companion to the honeymoon, ' this orange blossom, true-love-knot ornamented volume should no doubt be highly esteemed." - Whitehall Review. "The book is tastefully got up, and its contents adapt it very well for a present to a young bride." - Queen. "One of the cleverest, best written books on the subject we have read at any time. To girls contemplating marriage, the volume should be presented as a wedding gift.... Grave and gay, but never for a moment dull or tiresome. Each page sparkles with anecdote or suggestive illustration." - Ladies' Treasury. "A highly ornamental yet handy, well printed, and admirably written volume." - The Lady. "A rich store of entertaining anecdote, and full of thoughts beautiful, pious, and wise. Has a tasteful binding." - Bookseller.
