object of one kind of offence against condition. He
may be an object of any of those offences which
can tend to deprive him of the credit of a family

to him the discredit of a family relationship which
does not belong to him. In point of reputation he

the reputation of bare existence: to banish the idea,
of his having so much as existed, out of the
world.
