in which she says:

that the State has right TO legsate concerning mar

bis writings aud lectures he has expressly maintained
that "when love ceases marriage should cease" Such
any Stale ia Chrisendom Upon the main question, the
only additional testimony OF much value Is contained in
the letters from Mrs. Tton TO her husband which are
