Förlagets beskrivning
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXX. MARRIED LIAISONS. HERE are many married women in the great metropolis, as it has been shown in the last two or ?S three chapters, who, to say the least, so far as propriety and goodness are concerned, are "very onsartain." Their ways are not the ways of the virtuous. They scorn the beautiful and good type of woman of a past period. Religion to them is either an outside form, or they do not believe in it at all, which is more like to be the case. If they are intellectual, they are skeptical philosophers, and if they are not, they are disbelievers in the principles of morality. Whatever they are, they are a bad, dangerous class of females, and exercise a terribly evil influence on the rising generation of both sexes in the great city. A lady once remarked to a gentleman friend that she did not much blame the married men of New York for their unfaithfulness in the marriage relation--that really they were not to blame--that the women led them on to commit the wrongs they did. This is doubtless very much, though not altogether, the case. The women of New York--the married women--to a very great extent, are responsible for an immense amount of the wickedness done in Gotham. Led on by their MS great passions, they often induce men to forsake dutiful wives and lovely children; then to neglect business; then to gamble, to make up the deficient amount of money they could have made honestly; then to drink, and finally to die poor, neglected or miserable, or find refuge in suicide. There is no reason in these women. Once in love with another man, once having left their husband or ceased to love him, there is no thought in their minds but of dragging the man they love, or fancy they love (who is himself often married), down to the depths
