Two volumes may be mentioned together for the benefit of

all such as may be interested in the subject. These are : How to be Married, in AU Ways and Everywhere, by Thomas Moore, M.A. (Griffith, Ferran, and Co.) ; and Lawful Wedlock, by Two Barristers (Cassell and Co.) Mr. Moore's information has a vary extensive reach. You may travel from China to Peru, and get married anywhere by following his instructions. His statistics are interesting. In 1888, the marriages in England according to the forms of the Established Church were 142,863; those celebrated otherwise, 60,958, of which 8,632 were Roman Catholic, and 27,809 purely civil. Jewish marriages numbered 799, and Quakers' 51, a number less by 15 than that given for the year 1841.
