This book should be in the hands of every woman, young or old, married or single, in the United States. Now-a-days, especially, when women are beginning to be so universally recognized as competent to attend to all sorts of business matters which relate to themselves, such a work is invaluable. It is compiled from the very best and most reliable authorities, and the legal advice, forms, and information it contains, are for all the States of the Union. The portions relating to
RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN IN PROPERTY, THE LAWS OF DIVORCE IN ALL THE STATES, LEGAL RIGHTS OF GUARDIANS AND WARDS, ETC.,
Are very full and explicit, and should be understood by every woman who has a dollar's worth of property, who is married or contemplates marriage, or who has ohildren, either of her own or by adoption. An able and well-known lawyer, whose forensio attainments have given him a reputation hardly excelled in the New or Old Worlds, once said, that "more troublesome and expensive litigation arises from the total ignorance of law, among women, than from all the malice or chicanery of men !" and hie statement is undoubtedly true. A wide circulation of this work will, however, produce a great change in this state of things, and its use, as a book of constant reference, will inculcate among the women of America, a knowledge of legal science which will not only save them an immense amount of mental anxiety and pecuniary loss, but will enable them to instill into the minds of their children, that comprehension and love of justice, which shall render them good and law-abiding citizens.
