A story of marriage and divorce in New York. By Thomas Edgar
Willson.
"It is the Law" is a unique novel. That it contains a libel in
every chapter is probably an exaggeration, but it certainly conveys
that impression to the average reader. If the law on divorce and
marriage of New York state is in the complex muddle that Mr.
Willson depicts it, then there are extenuating circumstances for
Mr. Willson placing in our hands a novel which shows that a man may
have, and does have, as many legal wives as his sense of propriety
or pleasure desires. The same state of things also applies to
women. It is indeed strong meat, dished up in a fearless, too plain
manner.--_A Critic._
