Excerpt from Woman: The Predominant Partner The following pages were intended as an introduction to the interesting subject, 'Woman the Predominant Partner.' But it was evident that a book that required a preface of a hundred pages, and even then left the fringe of the subject untouched, would be far too long for even the most patient. The author therefore decided to offer to the public the preface only, in the place of the complete work, on the chance that he might be thanked for small mercies, and get for the part the attention that would certainly have been denied to the whole.
