Excerpt from Man and Woman, or the Law of Honor Applied to the Solution of the Problem, Why Are So Many More Women Than Men Christians?
I will not offend the modesty of the author, nor the'taste of the Christian reader, by writing a panegyric on the merits of the following'volume. It can and Will speak for itself. All it needs-is a fair hearing. But the' interests of truth require me to say that, While'discussing a subject of the highest im portance,'it exhibits one oi' the best attri butes of good writing, in being at once both obvious and original. So obvious, indeed, are some of its trains of refleetion When once stated, that the reader can scarcely resist the impression that he must have seen them before; and yet they are so original, that he may search Whole lib'raries for them in vain.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This pioneering work tackles a key question: why are there so many more female Christians than male? The author, a respected figure in 19th-century America, investigates the enigma with impressive logic and a wealth of evidence. He dismisses the shallow argument that women are more superstitious and therefore more susceptible to religious appeals, instead presenting a meticulously researched case that points to society's starkly different treatment of the sexes. The author's insights expose the ways in which men are subject to more corrupting influences, from their greater exposure to vice and temptation to the corrosive effects of excessive business and political involvement. This book offers a powerful and prescient critique of the social norms that shape gender roles, and its provocative ideas continue to resonate today.
