University of Virginia Library

E. Millicent Sowerby, ed., The Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson (1952-).

Burgh, Political Disquisitios (Philadelphia, 1775), III, 139-140. Chapter V, titled "Of Lewdness', is full of such statements as "The Goths allowed no brothels," and "Adultery was always punished with death among the antient Goths," to stress the ancient virtue and morality of the earlier Anglo-Saxons in contrast to the immorality Burgh saw in eighteenth-century England.
