1 Advantage Early Marriage
If fantastic and
imaginary pre-eminence
in point
of enjoyment are
desired them, or
rather kept put out
of their reach in respect of real
and indispensble
ones are they are will
be not only upon a
par with the bulk
of mankind but
above it. Yes:
the highest of all
enjoyments is that
which will be more
within their reach
than at in this country
it has ever been
within the reach of
any set class of men
from the lowest up
to the very highest
The difference between
cheap meat and
dear meat is beneath
estimation:
but the difference
betwixt wife and
no wife, betwixt
husband and no
husband is above
it all estimate. Yes:
tho at the call of
nature, at the first
call of nature which
a prudent the lacking
interests of health
are not forbid to
listen to, will these
outcasts of security
be every one of them
happy in the company
of a partnercompanion of

of the other six,
while the sons and
daughter of kings
either committdisgrace
themselves by clandestine
and unsafe
amours,
and the daughters
of kings pine everlasting in
hopeless
celibacy.
What is the great
which to marriage population?
what is
the cause that
in a country like
this, the population
is not ten
times as great as
it is at present?
It is the difficulty
of finding the little
capital which according
to the class
of persons a man belongs to in question
is looked upon
as necessary to set
up a married couple
in the world.
It is the difficulty
of obtaining a
moral certainty assurance
of a sufficient
maintenance for
the children the offspring of the
marriage.
But according to
this plan, this
difficulty will
have been already
conquered. If the parents
---page break---
parents while
children could
be brought up
without ultimateexpence,
so may their
children, and their
children's children
without end.
Shall this new
race generation of
children be taken
from the parents
or left under their
care: for the parents
being still
under age, will
continue notwithstandingthe
less for their marriage
under the
care and government
of the preserver
and improver
of their
existence.
A nice question
this: and one
that has been
often come on
the carpet, in
the instance of
Charity Schools
To this question
however it
is not necessary
to give any peremptory
decision: another
course and
be exclusively adopted:
it will be
one amongst so many
---page break---
many fit subjects
for experiment.
In one
way of deciding
it at least there
can be no great
harm: refer it
to the parents.
Take the child
where both parents
in giving
it up: leave it,
where either of
them is
to part with it.
But why not
take in most
instances a middle
course? Let
the child be at
its studies and at
its work apart
from its parents
on the days of work:
its company will
be but the more
valuable as amusement
to them
on the periodical & general
day of rest.
Even here too
the condition of
this humble class
will have the advantage
of many
of the most elevated
class: who in
order to make their
children partakers
of that mode of
education which
is by many regarded
---page break---
regarded as the most eligible, are obliged to deny themselves from the right of thier children for a period of year which in general has fewer moments intervals of indulgence than may be allowed here.
