ADVERTISEMENT. THIS volume is just what the title indicates-a Gift Book for the newly-married. As such, it is designed to present a general view of those interesting subjects connected with the married state.-Love, with its kindred train of joyous themes. The reciprocal duties and enjoyments arising out of the conjugal union.-Marriage rites and customs of different ages and peoples. A Portrait Gallery of justly celebrated wives ;-with "Table Talk," &c., &c., of great and illustrious men on the subject of Woman. Poets, Moralists, Biographists Philosophers and Divines, have been laid under contribution. One choice article from the pen of that justly celebrated and popular writer, M. F. Tupper, it is to be hoped will lead all who have not read his incomparable "Proverbial Philosophy," at once to possess themselves of that intellectual and moral treasure. That the work may add to the brightness of many a newly constituted domestic hearth, and cheer, and instruct many a newly-married pair, is the earnest desire of Paddington, 1863. THE AUTHOR. |
