Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Devil´s Advocate, Vol. 2 "I am a little surprised," said Gerard, "by what seems to me an inconsistency in your views. Of all men I know you have most thoroughly the courage of your opinions; and do not hesitate at conclusions which would stagger thinkers calling themselves advanced, when such conclusions rest logically on what you think indisputable premises. But if your arguments are correct, they seem to me to indicate polygamy not merely as a probable consequence of female emancipation but as the natural remedy for that excess in the number of women from which you apprehend their practical enslavement. You have always said that for ordinary men and women celibacy is an unnatural and injurious condition. Statistics certainly bear you out in this view, seeing that the mortality among the unmarried, especially in our own sex, exceeds considerably, at almost every age after the usual period of marriage, that of married people.
