DON'T MARRY!: A Comically Annotated Guide to 19th-Century Matrimonial Mistakes (The Victorian Guide to Rigid Morality)

Love is Blind. The Law is Not.

In 1891, James W. Donovan wrote a book called Don't Marry. It wasn't a romance novel; it was a warning label.
He warned against marrying flirts, debtors, complainers, and anyone with "cold feet." He viewed marriage not as a sacrament, but as a high-risk contract with a 50% failure rate.

Annotated by The Jaded Divorce Attorney, this edition treats Victorian courtship like a hostile corporate merger.
