work on the Econmy of Health, says, that
matrimony should not be contracted befor
the first year Of the fourth septeunial on the
part OF the lady, nor before the last year Of
tho same In case OF the gentleman; In other
words, tho female should be at least twenty
one years Of age, and The male twenty eight
years. The doctor says that there should be
difference of seven years between tho sex.
&c, at whatever period Of life, the connection
Is formed. There Is difference of seven
years, not In the actual duration Of life, il
tho two sexes, but in the stamina of the con,
stitution, the symuistry of the form, and
lineamsnts Of the face. In respect to early
marriages, % far o. concerns the softer sex
