Excerpt from The Primitive Family in Its Origin and Development It has been my aim in this work to ascertain the nature of the primitive family, and to point out the ideas on which it is based, as well as the germ of moral growth which it contains. The family, however, exists within a larger community, by which it is influenced, so that such a task impels us at every turn to exceed its narrow limits. The difficulty of resisting this impulse is increased by the fact that it has been necessary to give a mainly critical character to this work. The theories previously set forth, to which we are opposed, have, generally speaking, neither admitted nor defined the border-line between the clan and the family, so that we were compelled to adapt our criticism to these theories. Since, however, we had no desire to increase the size of our work, and the number of the problems on which it touches, beyond measure, we decided only to enter into these questions so far as criticism demands, and to restrict ourselves within narrower limits whenever it was possible. Hence there may be a certain want of proportion in the course taken in these inquiries, and we ask our readers' forgiveness, wherever this is the case.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Primitive Family, as an Educational Agency Whatever the answers to these questions, it is evident that a sound notion of certain typical social institutions is essential to the educator who would make education a vital factor in a conscious program for further social development. It is equally evident that some acquaint ance with the history of present institutions - and notably the family and the school - is necessary to illuminate the present crisis in family life. A review of the domestic life of our forbears really yields abundant cause for gratification at the enormous distance we have traveled and at the comparative stability and harmony of modern family life. Such phases of primitive domestic life as promiscuity, group-marriage, trial marriage, the trifling grounds for divorce, absence of chastity, infanticide, and other forms of parental neglect and cruelty, lack of filial piety, hazy notions of kinship, etc., are milestones worth while recalling if for no other reason than to measure our progress.

Excerpt from Primitive Society: The Beginnings of the Family and the Reckoning of Descent Thenceforward for some years the priority of maternal kinship to paternal was generally, though perhaps not universally, accepted. But mclennan's further contentions - that female infanticide, induced by the necessities of savage life, led to the capture of women from other tribes, and this to the general practice of exogamy, that exogamy was the cause of matrilineal kinship, and that marriage thus beginning with the capture and appropriation of women, resulted in paternity becoming certain and so led to patrilineal kinship - Challenged by Lubbock, Morgan and other writers, have always remained controversial.

Excerpt from Primitive Paternity, Vol. 1: The Myth of Supernatural Birth in Relation to the History of the Family Tke Legend of Perseus has been out of print for several years. Consequently I have not hesitated to make use of the material comprised in the first volume. The myth of Supernatural Birth is now admitted to be in one form or another practically universal, and I have deemed it enough to present as the starting-point of the inquiry a mere summary of the stories. Of the other material I have made larger use; but its presentation has been revised, and much new and important matter has been included. The chapters that succeed, occupying the remainder of the first and the whole of the second volume, are intended to exhibit the argument from institutions and customs. Incidentally they traverse conclusions arrived at by some distinguished anthro pologists on the subject of the conjugal relations of early man. But this is beside their chief object, and I have abstained from controversy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from With the World's People, Vol. 3: An Account of the Ethnic Origin, Primitive Estate, Early Migrations, Social Evolution, and Present Conditions and Promise of the Principal Families of Men After the discussion of the Latin races I next consider the celts. The history of the race so called occupies the second book of the current volume. The Celtic races were before the Romans in the possession and partial civilization of the greater part of Western Europe. But the preeminence and long continuity of the Romans have suggested their con sideration first after the history of the Greeks, and that of the descendent Latin races next, on the lines of immediate derivation.
