and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is thine hand. And he gave it her
and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
“And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put
on the garments of her widowhood.
“And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to
receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
“Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that
was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this
place.
“And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the
men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
“And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I
sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
“And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah,
saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also,
behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth,
and let her be burnt.
“When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By
the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I
pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
“And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous
than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her
again no more.”--Gen. xxxviii. 11-26.
[18] All this is based on the authority of the Bible. Elucidations also
have been afforded by “The Book of the Religion &c., of the Jews,” from
the Hebrew, by Gamaliel ben Peldahzur; “The Laws and Polity of the
Jews,” Sigonius, “Republica Hebræorum;” and the various commentators.
[19] Mary Magdalene, of Magdala, was not the sinner, the woman of
the city, who washed the feet of Jesus. She appears to have been a
reputable person, while the other had been a prostitute. What a lesson
is read to us by Christ’s behaviour to her!

[40] To show that a prostitute class existed, among women without means
of support, we might mention instances of wills in which mothers left
property to their daughters, on condition that they should marry or
keep themselves chaste, and not earn money by prostitution.

of the King of Dahomey. The Amazons had advanced to the attack of
Abbeokuta, a town in the Bight of Benin, with the object of surprising
and carrying off the inhabitants, to supply the demand for slaves; but
the latter, being apprised of the approach of the female warriors,
turned out in force, repulsed them from the town, and in the course of
pursuit effected great slaughter amongst their ranks. More than 1000
are reported to have been left dead on the field.
