 I have arrived at conclusions which I keep to myself as yet, and only utter as Greek phogagta sunetotsi principle of which is, that there will never be a good world for women till the last monk, and therewith the last remnant of the monastic idea of, and legislation for, woman, i. e. the Canon Law is civilized off the face of the earth. Meanwhile all the most pure and high-minded women in England and Europe have been brought up under the shadows of the Canon Law, and have accepted it with their usual divine self-sacrifice, as their destiny by law of God, and nature, and consider their own womanhood outraged when it, their tyrant., is meddled with. Canon Charles Kingsley,--Letter to John Stuart Mill, June 17th, 1849, in Life and Letters.
