By the dæmon of asceticism and the morality / system of morals / of which he is the

author / sprung from his loins / all these remedies are proscribed in the lump,

though in the application of the proscription different degrees of severity are

manifested the degree of severity manifested / exercised / is in the different cases

different.

1. Intercourse without cohabitation on such terms as on the part of the female

denominate it / rank it under the name of / prostitution.

Under the influence of asceticism Except in cases and on contingencies too narrow in

extent to be worth consideration in / on / so general a view on the part / side / in

the case // of the male this remedy is left free by law by the legal sanction so far

as depends upon the popular or moral as well as / [the] legal sanction left free; but

/ though / on the part / in the case / of the female it is by the popular or moral

[sanction] punished with exclusion from the society of such females as do not

transgress in this way or are not known to do so.

2. Cohabitation without marriage. To the state of things in question viz.

overpopulation considered in the character of a disorder, this mode of intercourse

when / if / considered in itself will scarcely be seen to produce any sensible effect

in the character of a remedy. But, by reason of the impermanence of the implied

contract / situation / of the condition in life thus produced, the tendency of it is

to cast down / transfer / depress // the female into the penal situation brought to

view in the preceding case.
