Law in a Free State
A reform organization concerned with the status of illegitimate children, of which the narrator is President and Mr. Fisher a vice-president, whose stated aims are disputed in the passage.
Then why, I shall be asked, have I accepted the Presidency of the Legitimation League?
I am then singled out as one of these unfortunates, and charged with having discussed the question of inheritance and succession to the almost total exclusion of all others, in my presidential address to the Legitimation League.
Fisher, one of the vice-presidents of the Legitimation League, who has recently written on the subject of illegitimacy, is usually clear and always original, but I confess I am utterly at a loss to make out the drift of his “plea for the abolition of illegitimacy.
