and inevitably productive Of the most pern.cous

On the subject Of divorce Mr. Wright applies his prin-
ces of non-resistanco and the nadmssOity of human
legislation on individual rights in manner, which if uni
versay adopted would leave the permancnce Of the rea-
ton to depend entirely the decision of the parties.

tendency in he existing relations OF society:

result of such attraction.
Human laws enter TO say, "You shall not give your
