Suret It is natural that the same cause should
frequently be found to belong to both these
classes . Among the incidents sources of difference disturbance which are liable to
breed disturbance in the space of in families , there is can be no one
more frequent none more productive than the appearance of some
act which is looked upon as a trespass against
the laws of chastity or modesty , or of that species of prudence

of the public age ? If the opinion of the public
be the standard of propriety as well as the safeguard
of virtue , how can any punishment which that
tribunal desires and inflicts be justly and consistently be deemed justly laxed with exorbitancy. excessive.
