Large 12mo., nearly 400 pages, bound in half Leather, Price $1 00. 



This book should be in the hands of every woman, young or old, married or single, 

 in the United States. Now-a-days, especially, when women are beginning to be so uni- 

 versally recognized as competent to attend to all sorts of business matters which relate 

 to themselves, suoh a work is invaluable. It is compiled from the very best and most 

 reliable authorities, and tho legal advice, forms, and information it contains, are/or all 

 the States of the Union. The portions relating to 

 RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN IN PROPERTY, THE LAWS OF DIVORCE IN 



ALL THE STATES, LEGAL RIGHTS OF GUARDIANS AND W1HDS, ETC., 

 Are very full and explicit, and should bo understood by every woman who has a dollar's 

 worth of property, who is married or contemplates marriage, or who has children, either 

 of her own or by adoption. An able and well-known lawyer, whoso forensic attainments 

 have given him a reputation hardly excelled in the New or Old Worlds, once said, that 

 "more troublesome and expensive litigation arises from the total ignorance of law, 

 among women, than from all the malice or chicanery of men !" and his statement is un- 

 doubtedly true. A wide circulation of thi* work will, however, produce a great change 

 in this state of things, and its use. as a book of constant reference, will inculcate among 

 the women of America, a knowledge of logal science which will not only save them n 

 immense amount of mental anxiety and pecuniary loss, but will enable them to instill 



! into the minds of their children, that comprehension and love of justice, which shall icn- 



| tWr them good and law-abiding citizens.
