     Instead of the vehement and almost slanderous dehortation from marriage, which the Misogyne, [Giovanni] Boccaccio (Vita e Costumi di Dante, p. 12, 16) addresses to literary men, I would substitute the simple advice: be not merely a man of letters! Let literature be an honourable augmentation to your arms; but not constitute the coat, or fill the escutchion!

   • 1876 July, [Charles Reade], “A Woman-Hater.—Part II.”, in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, volume CXX, number DCCXXIX, Edinburgh; London: William Blackwood & Sons, […], chapter V, page 19, column 1:

     The Misogyn was struck dumb. When he recovered, it was to repine at the lot of man.

   • 1886 July 10, V., “Paris Letter”, in Science: An Illustrated Journal, volume VIII, number 182, New York, N.Y.: The Science Company, published 30 July 1886, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 95, column 1:

     There were twenty centenarians,—four bachelors, one married man, six widowers, one unmarried woman, one married one, and seven widows. It seems that conjugal life is not very favorable to old age: misanthropes, or rather misogyns, may take a hint, and philosophers may moralize on this statistical fact.

   • 1919, Max Beerbohm, “‘Savonarola’ Brown”, in Seven Men, London: William Heinemann, →OCLC, page 186:

     He, love-sick? ’Tis a goodly jest! The confirm’d misogyn a ladies’ man!
