On the general controversy see especially _Colloquii über die
Frage: Ob Gott verboten oder zugelassen habe dass einer seines
verstorbenen Weibes Schwester heyraten möge_ (Oettingen [1681]),
12 ff.; and KETTNER (L.F.E.), _Judicia und Responsa von der Ehe
mit des Weibes Schwester_ (Quedlinburg [_ca._ 1710]), 1 ff.,
neither of which appears in HUTH'S list; also ZEIDLER, _De mat.
cum defunctae uxoris sorore_, published with his _De polygamia_
(Helmstadt, 1698); and MICHAELIS _Abhandlung von den Ehegesetzen
Mosis_ (Göttingen, 1768). Among the vast number of tracts and
books on the subject for England a few of the more important are
KEBLE, _Against Profane Dealing with Holy Matrimony_ (Oxford,
1849); FOSTER, _Review of the Law_ (London, 1847); PUSEY, _Letter
on the proposed Change in the Laws prohib. Mar. between Near Kin_
(Oxford, 1842); _idem_, _Evidence given before the Commission_
(Oxford, 1849); _idem_, _God's Prohibition_ (Oxford and London,
1860); BINNEY, _The Men of Glasgow and the Women of Scotland_
(London, [1850]); GIBSON, _Mar. Aff. Question_ (Edinburgh, 1854);
DUKE, _The Question of Incest_ (2d ed., London, 1883). This
question, with others, is also dealt with by FRY, _The Case of
Mar. between Near Kindred_ (London, 1756, 1773); ALLEYNE, _The
Legal Degrees of Mar._ (London, 1774, 1775); MACRAE, _Script.
Law of Mar._ (2d ed., Edinburgh, 1862); MEYER, _Uxor christiana_
(Amsterdam, 1688), 2d dissertation; and KETTNER (J. J.), _Zwei
Abhandlungen_ (Leipzig, 1780), 67 ff. For discussion of related
questions of kinship compare BUTLER, _Marriage of Cousin Germans_
(Oxford, 1619); the same in Latin under the leading title
_Suggeneia_ in FLORENS, _De nuptiis consobrinarum_ (Frankfort,
1643); DUGARD, _Marriage of Cousin Germans_ (Oxford, 1673);
JOHNSTOUN, _Juridical Dissertation_ (London, 1734); PATON, _Mar.
with a Dec. Brother's Wife_ (London, 1869), and in general read
_Observations on the Mar. Laws_, 126 ff.; LAWRENCE, in _Revue de
droit int._, II, 65 ff.; JEAFFRESON, _Brides and Bridals_, II,
258 ff.; HAMMICK, _Marriage Law_, 23, 30-40; GEARY, _Mar. and
Fam. Rel._, II, 30-32; WHARTON, _Exposition of the Laws_, 200,
note; BISHOP, _Mar., Div. and Sep._, I, §§736 ff., 747, 750, 752,
753, 875 ff.; _Law Mag._, XXI, 371-82 (May, 1839); _Quarterly
Review_, LXXXV, 156-82 (July, 1849); _Ecc. Review_, new series,
II, 735-48.]
[Footnote 294: LECKY, _Democracy and Liberty_, II, 214, who
cites "the very candid confession of the Bishop of Winchester":
HANSARD'S _Debates_, 3d series, CCLXXX, 1671.]
[Footnote 295: LECKY, _op. cit._, II, 215, citing T. PAYNTER
ALLEN'S pamphlet already mentioned. There is a weak criticism of
this work in the _Tracts Issued by the Mar. Law Defence Union_,
I, 177-96. On its high authority see HUTH, _Mar. of Near Kin_,
129.
