Note 1387 — Chapter X · RISE OF CIVIL MARRIAGE

For contemporary discussions see Gentleman's Magazine, XXIII, 399, 400, 452, 453, 538; XXIV, 145; XXV, 212; Monthly Review, XII, 111 ff., 438-46 (notices of various pamphlets including some by Dr. Stebbing); ibid., XIII, 92-95, 394 ff.; XVI, 371; XXXII, 233; XL, 226, 425-56. Compare Friedberg, Eheschliessung, 352 n. 1, who gives the titles of several pamphlets relating to the act; Madan, Thelyphthora, II, 38-90, "cannot mention or even think" of it "without indignation," because it "strikes at a divine institution."
