Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star and Monthly Visitor, Vol. 1: September, 1854Again, when we cross over from Christian England to the European nations on the Continent, the scenery is still worse, and too abominable to be named. Or even thought of, in re gard to the extent and magnitude of these filthy, soul-destroying dens of pollutions.ln many of these nations, their own statistics show, that above half the number of infants born are illegitimate. Only think of the ex. Tent of crime when in one nation, comparatively small, from fifty to a hundred thousand illegitimate chil dren are annually born, which is, as it were, only an index to the still greater amount of crime that does not render itself quite so apparent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
