Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Law Regarding Marriage With the Sister of a Deceased Wife Some years since I was consulted professionally as to the legality of a marriage with the sister of a deceased wife. In investigating the legal question, I was necessarily led to consider the legislative one; and at the request of a friend deeply interested in the subject, I wrote a short pamphlet entitled Summary of Objections to the Doctrine that a Marriage with the Sister of a Deceased Wife is contrary to Law, Religion or Morality, which was printed for private circulation in 1839, and afterwards reprinted in the Law Magazine. This is mentioned to account for any similarity of thought or expression that may be observed between it and the following Remarks; in which an attempt is made to maintain the ground taken in the Summary, against fresh and formidable controversialists.
