He said: “Il ne parait pas, apres quarante ans passes, que les choses aillent mieux, ni que le livre de Michelet ait rien perdu de son a-propos.” Twenty years extra have elapsed and things haven’t but develop into a lot better. A e book like this could have proved invaluable to me on my entrance to the married state; however had I had it, I may not have been compelled to acquire the data which permits me now to state with all solemnity, that I personally know a whole lot of couples whose lives have been wrecked for lack of such data, and that I extra intimately know a whole bunch of others to whom verbal teaching alongside the traces he has laid down, has brought happiness, health and goodness.
