Love and avarice: or, the fatal effects of preferring wealth to beauty. Exemplified in the history of a young gentleman of fortune and two ladies, to both of whom he was married; to the first for Love, and to the other for her Money; and the unhappy Consequences the Knowledge of it produc'd. Interspers'd with a Variety of entertaining Incidents; particularly the Manner in which the First Lady was induc'd to part with her Honour; how she persuaded him to marry her privately, and by what Means she was brought to consent to his marching with another; and their living together afterwards, 'till the whole Affair became publick. By a lady of Shropshire.
