[265] Dr. Dally has published an excellent article (translated in the
'Anthropolog. Review,' May, 1864, p. 65), criticising all writers who have
maintained that evil follows from consanguineous marriages. No doubt on
this side of the question many advocates have injured their cause by
inaccuracies: thus it has been stated (Devay, 'Du Danger des Mariages,'
&c., 1862, p. 141) that the marriages of cousins have been prohibited by
the legislature of Ohio; but I have been assured, in answer to inquiries
made in the United States, that this statement is a mere fable.
