Marriage was the most urgent necessity of the Grand Duke for the procreation of legitimate heirs.

He laid heavier penalties upon the unmarried men and women without husbands, and on the other hand offered prizes for marriage and the procreation of children.

And in another passage: "The affirmation of the will to live concentrates itself in the act of procreation, which is its most positive expression."

man devotes himself more seriously to the business of procreation than to any other; in the achievement of nothing else does he condense and concentrate the intensity of his will in so remarkable a manner as in the act of generation."

The modern craze for small specimens makes them quite unsuitable for procreation.

Neither her outside Form so fair, nor aught In Procreation common to all kinds, (Tho higher of the genial Bed by far, And with mysterious Reverence I deem)

While man, as an end in himself, is immortaland the whole man, not his soul merelythe world of sense, which has been created only for the conservation of man (his procreation and probation), must disappear; above this world, however, a higher rears its walls to subserve man's eternal happiness.

The reason why this is a cause of separation is, because the end of marriage is the procreation of children, which cannot take place where this cause of separation operates; and as this is foreknown by the parties, they are deliberately deprived of the hope of it, which hope nevertheless nourishes and strengthens their conjugial love.

The first end of conjugial love is the procreation of offspring, and the last, or the effect, is the offspring procreated.

That the sphere of conjugial love makes a one with the sphere of procreating, is evident; for procreation is the end, and conjugial love the mediate cause by which (the end is promoted), and the end and the cause in what is to be effected and in effects, act in unity, because they act together.

Since the sphere of procreation proceeds thus far, how much more must it proceed to animals of every kind, even to worms!

PROCREATION, sphere of the love of, 400.

He suggests that marriage shall take place in the hey-day of life, when the passions are at their highest, and that the evils of over-population shall be remedied by persons, after they have married, having recourse to artificial means to prevent the procreation of a numerous offspring, and the consequent evils, especially to the poorer classes, which the production of a too numerous offspring is certain to bring about.

With a view to make those to whom these remedies are suggested understand, appreciate, and be capable of applying them, he enters into details as to the physiological circumstances connected with the procreation of the species.

Knowlton goes into physiological details connected with the functions of the generation and procreation of children.

Procreation, if not a dominant passion, would probably have ceased long ago, and the race perished.

In these rites, which are symbolical of the mystery of procreation, both sexes participate, clad in loose flowing robes of white linen, with cleansed bodies and anointed hair.

But this oviparous devourer of such great reproductive power would, in turn, continue the world danger were it not that another monster as avid in appetite as it is weak in procreation, intervenes and cuts down with one blow the ever-increasing fecundity of the ocean.

Plato observed in his Statesman (310) that "most persons form marriage connections without due regard to what is best for procreation of children.

This is the history of sex and of procreation, a history associated with the rising of humanity in the scale of being, a history not so much of his physical as of his spiritual growth.

69 sq.. According to Merolla, it is thought that if girls did not go through these ceremonies, they would "never be fit for procreation.

It is difficult to believe that a man who draws in such noble outlines the dignity of the daily life of humanity regards as evil that divine act of procreation by which that dignity is renewed from age to age.
