ADULTERY Advantages of.
The infidelity apprehension of of in the wife may be regarded
as a preservative preventive of nature's providing against
the neglect or cruelty on the part of the
husband : in like manner as that of being obliged
to expose one's life in a duel is against
intemperate behaviour and ill-manners between
men. A man who had no value for the affection of a woman, would be mortified at her taking a step of this sort from a regard to his own honor.
I believe the condition of the
species in Turkey would not be much distributed,
if they had among the men it had our politeness & sociability
with our duels, & for the women, our
freedom with our adulteries. be changed much suffer much by the change Not that the
consider'd however in this light of a punishment, the
benefit good effect of it is man so considerable, in it's way
as that of the practise to which it is here compared.
It's connection with the grievances
to which it is here opposed is not near so
necessary constant, and the misery that it causes bears
a much greater ratio to what it may be supposed
