Her eagerness to avoid the oral...

He admits that "the prejudices and desires of the most impartial observer must necessarily color his deductions;" but he says, "I venture to believe, however, that the forward movement has gone far enough to enable us to appreciate the spirit of it, if not to comprehend the general direction of its progress."
