Excerpt from The Knot Tied: Marriage Ceremonies of All Nations The very favourable reception accorded both by the press and the public to my last work, entitled the last has induced me to issue a. Companion volume on a more genial and cheerful subject, namely, that of marriage, including a succinct account of the wedding ceremonies, customs and forms of the principal countries of the world, interspersed with notices of eccentric and local nuptial proceedings, irregular marriages, the anti quity and signification of the wedding-ring, wedding poesies, and other matters pertaining to the Holy State, which I trust will be received and read with equal if not greater interest. We read in the Book of Common Prayer, a wise and salutary injunction, the proper observance of which forms the mainspring of matrimonial felicity.
