    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Feb. 1, 2018)
    Excerpt from Seven Wives and Seven Prisons; Or Experiences in the Life of a Matrimonial Monomaniac: A True StoryI ought to have known then that marrying thus early in life, and especially marrying the woman I did, was about the most foolish thing I could do. I found it out afterwards, and was frequently and painfully reminded Of it through many long years. But all seemed bright enough at the start. My wife was a good-looking woman of just my own age; her family was most respectable; two of her brothers subsequently became ministers of the gospel; and all the children had been carefully brought up. I was thought to have made a good match but a few years developed that I had wedded a most unworthy woman.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
