Excerpt from The Life and Times of Madame Du Barry The ethics of comparative morality, or immorality, are not easy to understand. Why, it might be asked, arerthe virtuous English so tender towards the failings of Nell Gywn, whilst the French, who do not regard concubinage as at all a heinous offence, overload with obloquy the memory of Jeanne du barryp, In birth, in circumstances of early life, and in character, the two women closely resemble one another, yet the English general reader still preserves a kind of sneaking regard for the one, and has learned, at second hand, to detest the other.
