ABSTRACT
INBORN modesty and a sense of shame always abide in the face and heart, so that someone born outside lawful marriage never thinks that he will be distinguished, and although he knows the sin was not his own but his mother's against him, he recognizes that it is his disgrace. If he seeks to inherit, the prescription of his country's law will not permit him to obtain more than half a Hungarian guilder, when legitimate brothers, if they exist, will have received an inheritance of twenty thousand.1
