Excerpt from Ingersoll and Moses: A Reply
Rev John Williams, in his Narrative of Missionary Enterprises, London, 1838, p. 479, says of the women of the Society Islands: I never conversed with a female that had borne children prior to the introduction of Christianity who had not destroyed some of them, and frequently as many as from five to ten. The universal testimony is that Christianity has proved a check to these practices. A writer in the Quarterly Review, London, 1809, Vol. I, p. 216, says of it: All human affections and instincts are on its side in Bindo stan; it forbids the mother to expose or sacrifice her child the widow to be burnt with her husband's corpse, the son to set fire to his living mother's funeral pile.
