SOME one has said that if any man would faithfully write his
autobiography, giving truly his own history and experiences, the
ills and joys, the haps and mishaps that had fallen to his lot, he
could not fail to make an interesting story; and Disraeli makes
Sidonia say that there is romance in every life. How much romance,
as well as sad reality, there is in the life of a man who, among
other experiences, has married seven wives, and has been seven
times in prison solely on account of the seven wives, may be
learned from the pages that follow.

Seven Wives and Seven Prisons; Or, Experiences in the Life of a
Matrimonial Monomaniac has one of the most interesting openings I
have read in a long time. "SOME one has said that if any man would
faithfully write his autobiography, giving truly his own history
and experiences, the ills and joys, the haps and mishaps that had
fallen to his lot, he could not fail to make an interesting story;
and Disraeli makes Sidonia say that there is romance in every life.
How much romance, as well as sad reality, there is in the life of a
man who, among other experiences, has married seven wives, and has
been seven times in prison-solely on account of the seven wives,
may be learned from the pages that follow." Then I got really
