“However revolting to the feelings it may be to enter upon such a subject, it cannot be passed over in silence without a great violation of duty.

Unhappily, it has not been hitherto exhibited in the awful light in which it deserves to be shown. “The worst of it is that it is seldom suspected.” There are many pale faces and languid and nervous feelings attributed to other causes, when all the mischief lies here.”" in the context of "Sir W.
