To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not satisfied to let matters rest thus, the hus- band -consulted his lawyer, and was advised that the Utah di- vorce, not being founded upon any residence of the wife, or any service of process giving him actual notice, was void in New York. He therefore sued in New York for a divorce. In his suit, brought to trial not long ago, the marriage or other relation between the lady and the husband's successor in her affections was proved as a ground, the Utah divorce was brushed aside, and a New York... decree was granted in the husband's favor. Observe what confusion and uncertainty these proceedings in- troduce into the social relations of these parties. Among the lady's friends she is esteemed lawfully divorced and remarried. Among the husband's friends her divorce counts as nothing ; his remarriage, if he makes one, is the only one which can deserve respect. In Utah the wife's divorce is all-sufficient for both parties, and that obtained by the husband is a ridiculous super- fluity. In New York the Utah divorce is a sorrowful nuUity ; the New Yorfe one, only, is operative.
