Abstract

Made in Heaven

The article discusses two books, "What Is Wrong With Marriage?," by G.V. Hamilton and Kenneth MacGowan, and "A Research in Marriage," by G.V. Hamilton. To each member of a group of one hundred married men and one hundred married women Hamilton asked a series of nearly four hundred questions. When the eighty thousand responses had been tabulated they were subjected to the most patient and ingenious analysis and the results were published in the two volumes here noticed, the first being intended for the general public and the second for the specialist. No similar collection of facts has ever been gathered before, and indeed, in view of the extremely intimate nature of some of the questions asked, it is doubtful whether it could have been obtained at any other time.
