"It
is not necessary to enumerate the many advantages, that arise from this
custom of early marriages. They comprehend all the society can receive
from this source; from the preservation, and increase of the human race.
Every thing useful and beneficial to man, seems to be connected with
obedience to the laws of his nature, the inclinations, the duties, and
the happiness of individuals, resolve themselves into customs and
habits, favourable, in the highest degree, to society. In no case is
this more apparent, than in the customs of nations respecting marriage."
--Samuel Williams, The Natural and Civil History of Vermont, 1794
