But he was not in a condition of mind just then to take an impartial view of such matters, even though he had been a veritable prince of the blood, for the' custom was, as he expressed it, directly athwart his purposes. Not being in reality of true royal de- scent, he was by no means, as Justino contended, a competent critic of the practices of the genuine and pure-blooded heredi- tary princes of the earth. Confined to royalty alone as was this custom in other king- doms, — this custom of arran...ging connubial relations without reference to the wishes of the parties, — it had no such limited application in the New World.
