Matrimony and Morals Across England Japan
A jumble of excerpts contrasts views on women in England and Japan. It cites English aging marriage customs, women's limited domestic knowledge, and the notion of being settled, with contrasts to Japanese marriage, family harmony, and strict gender roles. It notes arranged marriages, parental mediation, and rare divorces among elites. It also touches on health beliefs about child sleep and a sun color theory from Professor Langley and painter Carolus Duran.
