A fragmented, period style discussion draws parallels between Roman divorce as a social decay catalyst and a drift in American society. It links wealth, Asiatic influence, and lax religious sentiment to a loosening of marriage ties, citing De Quincey and Gibbon. The piece argues marriage should be a sacred public contract rather than a mere civil arrangement, warning of moral decline mirrored in Rome.
