EilR MADAM: I HAVE read your manuscript with due care and attention, and regret that I cannot but pass upon it a verdict anything but favourable. A long sojourn in France, it appears to me, has vitiated your principles and confused your judgment. Whatever may be the case abroad, you must know that in England marriages are usually prosperous; that among us divorces are unknown, and infidelities incomprehensible. The wives and mothers of England are exempt, through some inscrutable and infallible law of nature, from the errors to which women in other countries (if we may trust the evidence of tradition) are but too fatally liable. If I understand aright the somewhat obsciure drift of your work, you bring upon the stage at least one married Englishwoman who prefers to her husband another man. This may happen on the Continent; in England it cannot happen. You are not, perhaps, aware that some years since it was proposed to establish among us aD ivorce Court. In a very few months it collapsed, amid the jeers and hoots of aC hristian and matrimonial people. There were no cases to be tried. England passed through the furnace of this experiment, and came out pure.
