- Summary
- "Before 1851 the only way to obtain a divorce was to present the facts to the House and the Senate [of the Virginia General Assembly] for their consideration ...

The abstracts of more than 125 cases appear in this publication, six from the legislative petitions and the others from the local chancery suits."--Page 1.
