    CHAPTER CCVIII.—p. 66. VALUE OF 'WOMEN AMONG THE AFGHAUNS.-LIGON’s HISTORY OF BARBADOES, AND A FAVORITE STORY OF THE doctor’s THEREFROM.-CLAUDE SEISSEL, AND THE SALIC LAW.-JEWISH THANKSGIVING.- ETYMOLOGY OF MULIER, WOMAN, AND LASS;- FROM WHICH IT MAY BE GUESSED HOW MUCH IS CONTAINED IN THE LIMBO OF ETYMOLOGY. If thy name were known that writest in this sort, By womankind, unnaturally, giving evil report, Whom all men ought, both young and old, defend with all their might, Considering what they do deserve of every living wight, I wish thou should exiled be from women more and less, And not without just cause thou must thyself confess. Edward Morr.
