f in utility? That it the cohabitation
of the sexes should be

according to the duration
of the engagement contract
in virtue of which it
is performed is a
position which, abstractedly
taken, seems
singular enough.
A piece of land the law would
let suffers a man to engage for life or for a term of

a bargain. A companion of the
other sex it will not suffer a person to engage
with under any other terms than for any lesser term than for life:
other contracts it suffers to the rescinded parties

mutual convenience so to do. In this contract

not to be consulted: A contract for board
