The Married Women's Property Act (1882) : What it Does,

and What it Does Not Do. (Ward and Lock.)—Here we have a review of the state of the law relating to the status of married women as it was up to January 1st, 1883, and the changes wrought in it by the legislation of last Session. We may hope that most households will go quietly on without any appeal to this new legislation ; but it is well to know what it has really done, nor could this be better learnt than from this little handbook.
