Summary "A History of Matrimonial Institutions, Vol. 1 of 3" by George Elliott Howard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of marriage and family structures primarily in England and the United States, providing a thorough analysis of both primitive and contemporary matrimonial institutions. The work aims to shed light on the significance of marriage as a social institution and its impact on personal and societal development. The opening of the volume introduces the book's objectives, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of the family and matrimonial institutions through a sociological lens. Howard discusses the contemporary relevance of marriage and family in light of evolving social conditions and the urgent need for research into these areas. He sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of various theories surrounding primitive marriage and family structures, indicating that the initial chapters will provide a systematic analysis of existing literature and theories on the topic. This introductory analysis positions the reader to appreciate the book's forthcoming detailed examination of marriage's historical complexities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
