CHAPTER XLIV
BIBLIOGRAPHY
For general statistics on marriage and divorce procure "Marriage and Divorce," from the Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., 15c.
For the history of marriage the public libraries will provide many books. E. A. Westermarck, History of Human Marriage, is the outstanding book, although there are many others. Sex and Society, William I. Thomas, is interesting. History of Marriage, George Elliot Howard, gives another view. For abstract idea of marriage, The Book of Marriage, H. A. Keyserling, is an outstanding book. A Plea for Monogamy, Wilfrid Lay, is useful.
The classic for all time on marriage is Swedenborg's "Marriage Love," written in 1768. Since that time this remarkable book has been republished many times, and is available in English in new and modern translations from the original Latin—a striking proof of its great human and scientific value. It is to be found in all of the larger public libraries.
For people who would be happy in marriage, and for young people looking forward to it, the following are suggested: How to be Happy Though Married, E. J. Hardy, Scribner's, 1913; Marriage, Every Day Help[152]
