C
Of Family Imposture
Instances have sometimes happened where, from
the influence of some caprice or other, children have been changed
at Nurse. The Nurse has thought herself unable to provide
for her own child: or from motives of vanity has wished to see
it brought up in a condition superior to her own.

upon a family when an impostor has introduced himself into
it, and afterwards comes to be discovered. The dissipation
of the whole fortune of the person whom he supplants or
counterfeits is one only amongst a multitude of evils. The
Tearing alliances asunder and foreign family affections into

Note
that she liked the counterfeit husband better than the real. This happened in
France. The Story is in the Causes Celebres.
