The Bachelor's Christmas And The Matrimonial Tontine Benefit Association is a novel written by Robert Grant. The story follows a group of bachelors who form a club called the Matrimonial Tontine Benefit Association, with the aim of pooling their resources to help each other find wives. The club's rules dictate that the last surviving member will receive the entire fund, which incentivizes the members to marry quickly. The novel is set during the Christmas season, and the members of the club each have their own romantic pursuits. The main character, John Hazard, is a wealthy bachelor who is pursued by several women, including his childhood friend, Alice Van Deusen. As the members of the club navigate their romantic entanglements, they also face challenges from outside forces, such as a rival club and a scheming lawyer. Throughout the book, Grant explores themes of love, marriage, and the societal pressures faced by bachelors in the late 19th century. The novel is written in a humorous and satirical style, and offers a glimpse into the social norms and expectations of the era. Overall, The Bachelor's Christmas And The Matrimonial Tontine Benefit Association is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a unique perspective on love and marriage in the late 1800s.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
