Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Marriage of First Cousins The question of kinship in marriage, within what degrees it should be permitted, and whether near of kin should be allowed and even encouraged to marry has attracted attention and provoked discussion from very early times. Reasoned Objection to marriages Of near kin on the grounds Of harm to the Offspring, however, seems to be Of relatively late growth. Plato, in the Laws, says that the reason why such marriages are forbidden (he is re ferring to the marriage Of brother and sister) is simply habit and custom, as were such marriages allowed people would marry those most like themselves, which would prevent the proper mixture of character and property.

Download or read book Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population Classic Reprint written by George Byron Louis Arner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population Much space is given to the alleged innate horror of incest, and frequent appeals are made to Scripture, wrongly assuming that the marriage of cousins is prohibited in the Mosaic Law. The origin of prohibited degrees is only conjectural. The Christian Church apparently borrowed its prohibitory canons from the Roman Law,1 and a dispensation is still necessary before a Catholic can marry his first cousin. However, such dispensations have always been easy to Ob tain, especially by royal families, and even the marriage of uncle and niece sometimes occurs, as among the Spanish Habsburgs, and as recently as 1889 in the House of Savoy. The prohibition of the marriage of first cousins was re moved in England by the Marriage Act of but by this time the idea of the harmfulness of kinship marriage was so thoroughly impressed upon the people that they were very prone to look askance at such unions, and if they were followed by any defective progeny, the fact would be noted, and looked upon as a chastisement visited upon the parents for their sin. Naturally the idea became proverbial, and in some places it has influenced the civil law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

The foremost and noblest character in this little book of letters is that of myself; therefore, I have not the presumption to attempt to give anything that would bear the appearance of a critical judgment on a work, written by myself to my own First Cousin. Wanted, a hand to hold mine own. As down life's vale I glide; Wanted, an arm to lean upon, Forever by my side. Wanted, a firm and steady foot, With step secure and free; To keep its straight and onward pace Over life's path with me.

Download or read book Marriage in the States Classic Reprint written by John Talbot Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marriage in the States This indifference of parents does not always remain quiescent. The more resolute oppose by secret or open means the approach of suitors for their girls. And employ the arts of persuasion and satire to delay the marriage of their sons. How cleverly this is done among the simple would surprise the experienced. Here is an illustration: the family had eight children of marriageable age, good examples of the irish-american stock, bright, alert, sociable. The mother, without a single utterance against the marriage state itself, and behind a cordial reception to suitors, man aged a campaign of satire and ridicule against the young men which secured for them a lively rejection of their matrimonial proposals; with the result that the four girls died early and unmarried, quite satisfied that they hadescaped the burdens of married life. 0f the four boys one married early, but could never bring his wife to meet his ntother; a second married after the mother's death and was then over fifty, for the determined old lady lived long; the other two remained bachelors. The extraordinary preva lence of these instances, and the various forms which they assume must be well known to pastors. A shrewd old father with a good working family, foreseeing his helpless old age, highly appreciative of a comfortable hrme, but deprived by death of his wife's aid, will play the game himself with success; or an 'der sister left in charge of the family will scheme against matrimonial invasion of her inheritance. My attention was at first attracted to this strange condition by the apparent failure of certain families in the third generation. For example, here would be a father and mother of Irish birth, whose brother; and sisters numbered perhaps a dozen, who had endured the hardships of emigra tion and of getting a footing in new lands with splendid strength, who presented the country with ten fine children, and who saw their old age honored with four grandchildren! This phenomenon should open the sleepiest eyr and yet it is as common as our daily bread. Four children in the third generation where there should have been forty. Examina tion showed many causes for this extraordinary failure, but in my experience the chief was the absence of marriages, or late marriages, among those children; and the source of the trouble was a jealous and foolish old woman, determined to keep her children at her side while she lived. And her old age was as garrulous against the married state as her middle age had been critical of suitors. A large family brought up in this hostile atmosphere, reduced to a comfortable and harmless routine, succumbs more easily to disease than an active marrying family. These determined old wore haveoften suffered the double punishment of seeing their chil dren perish before their time, while the marrying family next door multiplied on the earth and trooped back on occasions with companies of children to gladden the home of the grandparents. My children had every advantage, one old mother said me, and half of them are dead, and the other half look as old as mesclf. But the Cronins that lived on potatoes and buttermilk and got no training at all, at all, and married at the croas-roads - there's no end to them. It would be useless to tell her that she had culti vated carefully her own misfortunes, that the ma; ried state has been so blessed by the Creator that its duties and re sponsibilities develop strength, health, longevity, cheerful ness, resource, and that for most people it is the natural condition in the third decade.

Download or read book The Marriage of Near Kin written by Alfred Henry Huth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marriage of Near Kin: Considered With Respect to the Law of Nations, the Results of Experience, and the Teachings of Biology The first condition is easily secured, because it only requires a little mechanical arrangement; but how are we to know whether a given couple should be allowed to marry or not? Were either insane we should not allow it, because we know that the chances are the progeny would also be insane. If a parent of either had become insane after marriage then we should not prohibitit, because, though there would be a good chance that insanity was become hereditary in the family, yet there would also be a good chance that the children might escape any hereditary taint, and the risk of prohibition would therefore be too great, we could not, for the sake of possible good, drive to a positive evil. For the same reason, or possiblyfrom motives of humanity, we do not dissolve a sterile marriage as so many nations have done, and still do. The benefit in a great and fertile population would be very doubtful; the evil most assured. And yet we prohibit marriages be tween near kin. Is then the immorality caused by certain of these prohibitions nothing; and Is the gain so very great? The sole reason why we now prohibit these mar riages, is that our fathers did so, and their fathers did so before them. Yet our fathers permitted marriage between crétins, lepers, and between many other persons, in cases where we should now prohibit it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Getting Married Now most laws are, and all laws ought to be, stronger than the strongest individual. Certam the marriage law is. The only people who successfully evade it are those who actually avail themselves of its shelter by pre tending to he married when they are not, and by Bohe mians who have no position to lose and no career to be closed. In every other case open violation of the mar riage laws means either downright ruin or such inconve niemce and disablement as a prudent man or woman would get married ten times over rather than face. And these disablements and inconveniences are not even the price of freedom; for, as Brieux has shewn so convinc ingly in Les Hannetons, an avowedly illicit union is often found in practice to be as tyrannical and as hard to es cape from as the worst legal one.
