have not adopted this unnatural custom.
But the females of this class are held by
the rest in the utmost degree oil contempt

the custom which gives pre~eminence
o multilated over perfect limbs, that, if
of two sisters, otherwise in every respect
equal, one has been thus MANNED, while
nature has been suffered to take her own
way in the other, the latter is considered
as in an AFFECT state, unworthy of associa-
ting with the rest of the family, and
doomed 10 perpetual obscurity and the
drudgery of scrvitude.
In contemplating this monstrous abb
surdity oil fashion, among the Chinese, it
would be we'll to look al home, before we
condemn these people to exclusive rep

The common feelings of our nature, and
