To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am sure every one, who has had much experience of the habits of the poor, must know that they marry at so early an age that it would be a rare chance for a widower to find any of his late wife's sisters still unmarried. But the case does not rest upon general reasoning. The able solicitors employed to get up the case in support of this Bill have, it appears, ascertained that since Lord Lynd- hurst's Act about fifteen hundred marriages with a wife's sister have taken place. Out of these, one h...undred and fifty, or thereabouts, were amongst classes in a professional or higher rank, about THE LAW OF MARRIAGE. 13 thirteen hundred in the middle classes of society, and not fifty, or little more than three per cent, of them, amongst the poor. This is a statistical fact ; and although the right honourable gentleman has to- day read to the House many letters from clergymen stating that they know of many such cases amongst the poor, I confess that I have very little confidence in general impressions, where there has been no statistical inquiry.
