Our American Common Prayer boasts too many disfigurements of this sort already.
"A Short History of the Book of Common Prayer"
William Reed Huntington
There are upon record trials at law in which damages have been sought as a poor recompense for lasting agonies and disfigurements inflicted upon children by the treatment of the master in these places, involving such offensive and foul details of neglect, cruelty, and disease as no writer of fiction would have the boldness to imagine.
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
The author makes no attempt to flatter society by denying or hiding the fact that immorality pays a penniless girl who is pretty and amiable better than morality, and that it even leaves her a better chance of being married than the drudgeries and disfigurements of singing The Song of the Shirt.
"The Song of Songs"
Hermann Sudermann
