Reading edition
Lecky, Democracy and Liberty, II, 201, 202; also cited by Jeaffreson, Brides and Bridals, II, 342, 343, note. For this case see Morgan, Marriage, Adultery, and Divorce, II, 234-313.
On the law before 1857 see Poynter, Doctrine and Practice of Ecc. Courts in Doctors' Commons, 68 ff. Against the proposed alteration is Keble, Sequel of the Argument against immediately repealing the Laws which treat the Nuptial Bond as indissoluble (Oxford, 1857), 196-220; while strongly in favor of a reform are the anonymous authors of Plea for an Alt. in the Divorce Laws (London, 1831), 1 ff.; and Observations on the Marriage Laws (London, 1815); as well as much earlier Salmon, Crit. Essay Concerning Marriage (London, 1724), 109 ff.
