The law certainly abolished all
division of possessions, but it did so by making the husband sole

ADVERTISEMENTS
ENGLISH MEN OF LETTERS.
EDITED BY JOHN MORLEY.
_These Short Books are addressed to the general public with a view both
to stirring and satisfying an interest in literature and its great
topics in the minds of those who have to run as they read. An immense
class is growing up, and must every year increase, whose education will
have made them alive to the importance of the masters of our literature,
and capable of intelligent curiosity as to their performances. The
Series is intended to give the means of nourishing this curiosity, to an
extent that shall be copious enough to be profitable for knowledge and
life, and yet be brief enough to serve those whose leisure is scanty._

_SPENSER The Dean of St. Paul's._
