MIR. LECKY ON DIVORCE

In the course of his new book, "De-
mocraey and Liberty" Mr.. w. e.
Lecky compares the divorce laws Of
various countries and discusses their
effects. Some OF the statistics brought
together by the New York Sun, as
we'll as the authors remarks on their
Significance, are we'll worthy OF no
tice.
1t appears that in Denmark, in Nor
way, in Prussia, and in some other
parts of Germany the tourts grant di-
vorce by mutual consent, subject TO
certain conditions, which are intende 4
to guard against the action of mere
caprice by securing a long period OF
delay for reconsideration. In Switzer-
land, under slightly different forms,
the same system prevails, and the
widest discretion is given TO the tribu.
nails. A power OF granting divorce for
reasons not assigned in the law, has in
many parts OF Germany been vested in
princes, and, owing to the laxity part
ly Of the laws and partly of the admin
iEtration OF them, divorces have in
parts Of Europe greatly increased in
number. In Switzerland, for instance.
In 1892 there were ssl divorces in a
population Of less than 5000, 600.
Some portions Of Germany rank next
In this respect: In Germany, as a
whole, divorces have been during the
last ten years somewhat more frequent
than in France, although in the latter
country the rate Of increase is higher.
In Belgium in 1892 there were AL di-
vorces in a population Of g. l95, 900: in
the Netherlands 354 in population Of
1909, 576i in Sweden $40 in a popula-
tion OF 4, 500, SOS. 1t is well known.
however, that nowhere are divorces
more frequent and more easy TO obtain
than in some of the United States.
Mr.. Lecky recalls the fact that from
1867 10 lsse divorces increased in this
country nearly l57 per cent, while
population increased only about 60 Der
cent Also, that the census of 1890
returned 49,lOl men aud n 500 women
as divorced, exclusive Of divorced per.
sons who had remarked.
II has been asserted that the domes-
tic moralities of countries in which
divorce is denied is superior to that Of
countries where it is permitted. Mr..
Leeky does not think that the state
ment is borne out by a comparison
