With them, of course, comes an increase of drink and of the crimes from drink. The great excess of men among them leads to sexual immorality and the diffusion of private diseases. A primitive midwifery is practiced, and the ignorance of the poor mothers fills the cemetery with tiny graves. The women go about their homes barefoot, and their rooms and clothing reek with the odors of cooking and uncleanliness. The standards of modesty are Elizabethan".

Romanticism

Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient."Speaks of less government intervention, more self governing and self reliance with an awareness to industrialization and science.
