remark, not on Sweden only, but on many
of the northern kingdoms, particularly
Germany. Whatever reason may be
assigned for this, it is certainly true. And it
would be well if in more fashionable
countries, the mask of matrimony were not so
frequently made use of as a covering for
levity and dissipation, a screen for the
improper indulgence of licentious
inclinations.

place, I will endeavour to give you a better
account of its history.
