"Using a wide variety of sources, John Boswell examines the evidence that parents of all classes gave up unwanted children, 'exposing' them in public places, donating them to the church, or delivering them in later centuries to foundling hospitals. He shows what happened to these children, and he illuminates the moral codes that condoned abandonment." - Publisher.. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo.
