Under the troubled aspect of these tempestuous elements, how unenviable indeed was the situation of those females afflicted with the disease of sterility, whom fate had destined to endure the wither- ing scowl of baronial tyranny, soured by the acid of pro- genitive disappointment ! If in such cases the conse- crated spring, with all its mysterious fertilizing qualities, unfortunately failed in producing a successful result, means were frequently devised by their despotic lords to sever the sac...red ties of the hymeneal union ; and in what manner soever this barbarous deed was accomplished, justice, debased and perverted, winked at the enormity. Like every other beneficial institution, this remedial fountain, whose latent virtues were so efficacious in pro- moting matrimonial felicity, and increasing the human species, behoved to be governed by certain restrictive regulations. Therefore, like the lepers in the olden time, the patients subjected to this regimen were secluded from all social intercourse with the world ; even the little sea- girt world assigned as their temporary residence.
