* * A little book I have just been reading
with much interest ought properly to be called "Ways with a Wife." Not that that would really do, for it is a serious legal work, and its actual, and rather misanthropic, title is Marriage, Separation and Divorce. Neither the second nor the third state necessarily arises from the first, but one or other of them often does, and it is just as well to know all about it, particularly if the knowledge can be acquired under the guidance of an authority so skilled in interesting the lay reader as H. B. Grant. And in any case in the happiest of marriages there arise questions of rights and duties in regard to property and other matters. It would be entirely appropriate for the winners of the Dunmow Flitch to be presented with an extra four shillings' worth in the shape of this modest volume (published by Stevens and Sons).
