the audience were some ladies with splendid,
intelligent foreheads and beautiful forms. But I did not

explained himself better during our dialogue than
in his public Conversation, and I understood better
than hitherto that there was really at the bottom
of his reform movement a true and excellent
thought. This thought is the importance of an
earnest and holy disposition of mind in those who
enter into the bonds of wedlock, so that the union
may be noble and its offspring good and beautiful.
His plans for bringing about these beautiful and
holy marriages between ideal people (for none
other are to enter into matrimony—oh! oh! for
the many!) may be right for aught I know. They
are better and more accordant to human nature
