The writer was pleased to confine himself to what I said of the Hottentot women, because the heat of their climate was adapted to his purpose. I mentioned likewise “the wilds of America,” and the kingdoms of Scotland and Ireland. I fancy those countries are cold enough in winter. He has quoted the practice of the Athenians as an example for our women. Though _Heathen virtues_ are great reproaches _on Christian vices_ (I should have said, on the vices of people who are only _Christians in name_, by outwardly professing what their lives are daily contradicting) yet I should imagine _no Heathen impurities_ ought to be admitted patterns against Christian virtues.—Our surgeons are better anatomists than the Athenians were; but I am afraid the Athenian men were better Christians, though they lived before the birth of our Saviour. “But the women of quality _do so fall in love_ with their Doctors.”—I beg he will excuse me,—I _never_ supposed they FELL IN LOVE with THEIR MALE INSPECTOR. _The sensations_ which _Men-midwives_ give rise to, _deserve not_ the name which distinguishes _that NOBLE passion OF THE SOUL_.—_LOVE, allies us to our Divine Original, elevates our ideas to Heaven, and makes us emulous of worthy actions_! It’s signification is _scandalously perverted_, when used to describe _the impure_ gratifications of sense, which degrade us _below the brutes_!—_Love_, and _Virtue_, are _inseparable_. Love never inspires the human heart, but when _that heart is in pursuit of virtue_; when _vicious_ purposes _pollute_ the mind, _it’s end_ is _lust_. “Has there ever been related an instance of so unnatural a connexion?” _Many_ where _it has been attempted_—_several_ where it has _succeeded_. Any person may buy the trial of Doctor Morley, where they will see that he was _convicted_, and _fined a thousand pounds_, for seducing Mrs. Biker. The poor woman accused the Doctor on her death-bed, and told the whole transaction. The Doctor pleaded to his friends “_the strength of the temptation, the frailty of nature_; and the impossibility of any man’s _resisting such powerful charms_.” He quitted his business; _the ladies_, however, _approved his conduct_,—it _RECOMMENDED him TO THEIR FAVOUR_, and _he was more employed than ever_! Doctor ⸺ was forced to feign madness to escape the rage of an injured husband, for having frightened his wife to death! She happened to be _a virtuous_, though _NOT a MODEST_, woman!—Count STRUENZY too was a Man-midwife.—Would he ever have dared to lift his eye, or breathe his infamous passion to a ⸺, if he had not been encouraged and _familiarized_ by the freedoms admitted by the profession of a Man-midwife? Certainly no. Whoever reads the news-papers of three years back, will find many paragraphs informing us of prosecutions of Men-midwives for crim. con.
