The Wife Beaters' Manual, authored by Henry Romeike in 1884, is a controversial book that provides a guide for husbands on how to correct their wives through physical abuse. The book includes a list of prices for specific tools and instruments that can be used to inflict harm on women, such as whips, sticks, and belts. The author justifies this violence by claiming that it is necessary to maintain control over one's wife and to prevent her from becoming disobedient. The Wife Beaters' Manual has been widely criticized for promoting domestic violence and perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes. Despite its controversial nature, the book provides a glimpse into the historical attitudes towards marriage and gender roles in the late 19th century.Compiled From Statistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
