A History of Matrimonial Institutions, Vol. 1 of 3

"A History of Matrimonial Institutions, Vol. 1 of 3" by George Elliott Howard, is a deep exploration into how marriage and family have changed over time, especially in England and the United States. Written in the early 1900s, the book looks at both old and new forms of marriage to help readers understand why marriage matters so much to people and to society. The author starts by explaining why we need to study marriage and families closely, because they are always changing with society, and introduces different ideas about how marriage and families first began, preparing the reader for a detailed journey through the past.
