In general, we may observe, that all questions of property are subordinate to the authority of civil laws, which extend, restrain, modify, and alter the rules of natural justice, according to the particular convenience of each community. The laws have, or ought to have, a constant reference to the constitution of government, the manners, the climate, the religion, the commerce, the situation of each society. A late author of genius, as well as learning, has prosecuted this subject at large, and has established, from these prin-

The republics in Europe are at present noted for want of politeness. The good-manners of a SWISS civilized in HOLLAND 5 originally ' x7575 ' footnotes have been numbered for ease of reference 9 x7575 , is an expression for rusticity among the French. The English , in some degree, fall under the same censure, notwithstanding their learning and genius. And if the Venetians be an exception to the rule, they owe it, perhaps, to their communication with the other Italians , most of whose governments beget a dependence more than sufficient for civilizing their manners.

II. A wheel within a wheel, such as we observe in the German empire, is considered by Lord Shaftesbury 5 originally ' x7575 ' footnotes have been numbered for ease of reference 65 x7575 as an absurdity in politics: But what must we say to two equal wheels, which govern the same political machine, without any mutual check, controul, or subordination and yet preserve the greatest harmony and concord? To establish two distinct legislatures, each of which possesses full and absolute authority within itself, and stands in no need of the other's assistance, in order to give validity to its acts this may appear, before-hand, altogether impracticable, as long as men are actuated by the passions of ambition, emulation, and avarice,

These two species of false religion, though both pernicious, are yet of a very different, and even of a contrary nature. The mind of man is subject to certain unaccountable terrors and apprehensions, proceeding either from the unhappy situation of private or public affairs, from ill health, from a gloomy and melancholy disposition, or from the concurrence of all these circumstances. In such a state of mind, infinite unknown evils are dreaded from unknown agents and where real objects of terror are wanting, the soul, active to its
The reason, why it is supposed, that the ancients were entirely ignorant of the balance of power , seems to be drawn from the Roman history more than the Grecian and as the transactions of the former are generally more familiar to us, we have thence formed all our conclusions. It must be owned, that the Romans never met with any such general combination or confederacy against them, as might naturally have been expected from the rapid conquests and declared ambition but
Let us now examine the numbers of inhabitants assigned to particular cities in antiquity and omitting the numbers of Nineveh , Babylon , and the Egyptian Thebes , let us confine ourselves to the sphere of real history, to the Grecian and Roman states. I must own, the more I consider this subject, the more am I inclined to scepticism, with regard to the great populousness ascribed to ancient times.
These are the reflections which have occurred upon this subject of impudence and modesty and I hope the reader will not be displeased to see them wrought into the following allegory,
So why knot? According to those who read/write this type of fiction there s an element of loss of control that s not possible in other situations. Since the knot won t release until the alpha has finished and can t be controlled by either party, the sex has to go on until it s done. There s literally nothing anyone can do.
The learned, philosophical Varro , discoursing of religion, pretends not to deliver any thing beyond probabilities and appearances: Such was his good sense and moderation! But the passionate, the zealous Augustin , insults the noble Roman on his scepticism and reserve, and professes the most thorough belief and assurance 5 originally '*' footnotes have been numbered for ease of reference 68 * .

The case is the same with the probability of causes, as with that of chance. There are some causes, which are entirely uniform and constant in producing a particular effect and no instance has ever yet been found of any failure or irregularity in their operation. Fire has always burned, and water suffocated every human creature: The production of motion by impulse and gravity is an universal law, which has hitherto admitted of no exception. But there are other causes, which have been found more irregular and uncertain nor has rhubarb always proved a purge, or
