Golden Rule, and practice it in word and deed. This volume has at least one merit, and that is, brevity. A gifted author says: Books are like leaves, and where they most abound Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found ;A nd from his logic we may reason hence, The fewer leaves in books the more the sense. A delia, the lawyers first wife, who never broke the marriage-vow, was subpoenaed, to give the history of her matrimonial experience, by Lieutenant Jurist, a handsome attorney and counsellor-at-law. She at once proceeded to give a faithful narrative of the ten years of his intemperate legislation through which she had passed for the Court of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania. Soon as the legal mandate was obeyed, A delia was informed that if she presented her state ment to the Keystone Court, Lieutenant Jurist would procure a writ of habeas corpus, and take possession of her only child. Whoever takes my child from me, Will be unsafe on land or sea. I thought slavery was abolished years ago.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Set in the Victorian era, this book tells the story of Adelia, a victim of alcoholism-fueled domestic violence in her marriage to a lawyer named Jurist. The author draws from Adelia's own account to present the struggles and despair of living under the same roof as an abusive alcoholic. Her husband's uncontrolled drinking leads him to neglect his family, causing Adelia to flee to the mountains with their infant son to escape his violent fits of rage. Through the horrors Adelia endures, the book also speaks to the societal attitudes of the time, and the legal issues that victims of domestic abuse faced. Its themes of alcohol's destructive role in the household, and women's lack of rights and societal support in situations of domestic violence, remain all too relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333370008_0
