Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Great Unmarried
Viewed from the standpoints of racial well-being, national prosperity, hygiene, and morality, marriage is a biological and social dut In Great Britain the state of wedlock is esteeme as an ideal. The union is made holy by ecclesiastic sanction, protected and regulated by the law, and commended by economists, moralists, and reformers. It is cherished, extolled, and advocated by poets and preachers. Yet strangely, any hint of suggested reforms for the facilitation and encouragement of matrimony imbues a number of the apparent advocates of the essential institution with alarm or indignation.
