"There is no law forbidding such marriages in the State of Massachusetts; and, other things being equal, they are regarded with favour. I have never heard of any disadvantages attending, or supposed to attend, them; and I make this remark in reference to the apprehensions which, as I perceive from the public discussions, prevail in England."—Hon. Edward Everett, late American Ambassador to Great Britain.
