Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. In order
that it may be really the cause of Mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, he raised,
and its true source is every instance disclosed, in how many oeald
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant cheap-
pointraeats. Axeeeses are always lajnrioas ; the gift, which when
used is usoderatioa it fraught with advantage, isecernes, when
abased, the merits swarce of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional mid vital powers. The particular excesses, Si
She nature and C011")4561C0 of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are preduetive of greater severity of misery to the Inman frame,
