long since devoted. Now they are more widely scattered ; but 

 everywhere to be found. And there is at least one newspaper,. 

 of very large circulation, which advertises all over the United 

 Kingdom the most depraved and depraving of books, filled 

 with every species of abomination. 



Even this, it seems to me, is not the lowest deep. The 

 worst the most dangerous book to public morality I have ever 

 seen in England, is one professing to be written by a physician, 

 who does not give his name, who advocates universal lust and 

 licence as a matter of science and philanthropy ! 



And this book, which I will not mention by name, because 

 I do not wish to advertise a publication so utterly abominable, 

 expresses boldly the carefully whispered opinions of many 

 medical men, who, immoral themselves, advise their patients, 

 male and even female, to practice immorality, just as doctors 

 w"ho freely indulge in intoxicating drinks also freely prescribe 

 them for their patients. All this is fearfully wrong and fear- 

 fully mischievous; mischievous, as any one can see who looks 

 beneath the varnished surface of respectable society; wrong, as. 

 I believe I can show from the highest authority, and as a 

 deduction of Physiological Science, for nothing which is not 

 contrary to nature can be opposed to a true morality.
