General Imprisonment Scheme &.

This difficulty however The business is were it not for the objections that
will be mentioned hereafter in their place might be easily enough obviated.
It might be settled The match should endure but
for a night; and the succession be determined partly
by rotation and partly by Ballot in such manner
that each person might have his proportional share
in those comforts subject only to the power which
as well he himself or his eventual partner should
have to wave it.

Suppose for instance there were 100 men and 10
women. To fix the same ten men to the same one
woman, would, considering the great disproportion there
might be between the beauty of the women be inequitable. While some were objects of universal desire desired by all, it
might happen that woman would not be an object
of desire to any of her husbands. At the same time By this means
the arrangement would not be of no benefit to any
of the 11 persons. At the same time out of the
remaining 90 it might happen that the woman
might find a partner less fastidious, at while of the
remaining 9 women there might be none but what
any of the ten men might find desirable.
