A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The final form of this monograph is the result of a conversion. My study of divorce was commenced when fresh from the reading of philosophy in Germany, and a month or more passed in turning the leaves ofT rendelenburg, Bluntschli, Stahl and the whole line of Naturrecht theorizers. Nothing was found to shake the conviction with which I started, that the policy of the Catholic church, refusing remarriage in all cases, is the ideal one for a state to adopt. Then I stumbled upon Bertillon sE tude Dimographique duD ivorce and, undeterred by the columns of figures, read and reread it. My eyes were opened and, deserting the high a priori road of laying down what marriage and divorce ought to be, I betook myself to a patient examination of Mr. Wright sR eport in the effort to understand what they are. My conclusions are contained in the following pages. In their present form, therefore, they are based on two books; their method is derived from Bertillon their data from Wright, and a critic must have keen eyes to detect in them any influence of the first six weeks reading. If a similar revolution should be started in the mind of any reader by the facts here recorded, I shall be most amply repaid. It is a cause of regret that I have been compelled so often to differ from, or criticise the results of, the able statistician at the head of theL aborD epartment. No one can value more highly the work Mr. Wright has carried to success in the face of numerous difficulties. The proof of my admiration, however, must be found in the weeks of toil I have profitably spent over the book rather than in any words of empty praise.
