Inconstant, her infidelity to her lord is punished by a living burial : faithful, her constancy is rewarded by a place on his funeral pyre.* " Her life and death are alike a violence to nature, an outrage on society, and a mortifying and melancholy instance of the disinclination in man- kind, unless improved by civilisation, to treat their fellow-creatures with kindness. Wherever we turn our eyes, — in whatever part of the globe we direct our attention, this seems to be the case. In savage life..., in the half-polished, but profligate state of the middle ages, even in later periods, untU civilisation had made some progress, in what bitter oppres- sion do we find the female sex ! Let us revert to the accounts of those who have given us various narrations on the subject. The position of women of savage life, miserable as it is known to be, is less shockingly degraded than that of females in those vast empires of the East, which vaunt an antique origin, and in which a falsely styled civilisation, formed by wealth alone, has afforded some resemblance of a social policy.
