SINGULAR CUsroM An auction of un
married ladies used 70 take place annually
in Babylon. In every district, says the
historian, they assembled on certain day
Of the year, all virgins Of manageable
age. The most beautiful was put up first,
and the man who bid the highest or the
largest sum, gained the possession a her.
The second in personal appearance fol-
lowed, and the bidders grati6ed themselves
with handsome wives according 70 the
depth of their purses. But, aiast it. seems
there were in Babylon some ladies' for whom
no money was likely to be offered, yet
these were also disposed OF. so provident
were the Bsbylonians. When all the beau (,
tiful virgins we're sold, the crier ordered
the most deformed to stand up, and after he
had openly demanded who would marry
her, with q small sum, she was at length
adjudicated to the man, who would, be
satisfied with the least; and in this manner
tho money arising from the sale of the
handsone served - portion to tf1ose that
wsrs Of disagreesble isoks, or that had any
other imperfsction. This custom prevailed
about four hundred years before Christ.
