What Consanguinity is. exists between the father, son, grand-son, great-grandson, etc. Collateral1 consanguinity is that which subsists between those who descend from a common ancestor; but not in a direct line; as for example, the relation between two cousins, A and B, who descend from a common grand-father John Stokes, but from two different mothers Caroline and Eliza, who were the daughters of John Stokes. A, the grand-son, Caroline his mother, and John Stokes the father, are united in lineal consanguinity; for they ascend and descend in a direct line; but A the son of Caroline, and B, the son of Eliza, are united in collateral consanguinity; for they are the descendants of John Stokes, but not in a direct line. (89) The steps in this consanguinity are called degrees, and are counted by the number of removes which the most remote of the two is from the common ancestor.2 Thus Caroline and Eliza are related in the first degree, because they are both one remove only from the ancestor John Stokes. But Eliza, and A the son of Caroline, are related in the second degree; because A the most remote of the two is in the second degree. (90) We shall now state the rules of English inheritances, that we may see how widely we have departed from them in the United States, and especially how much more favorable the American law is to women. The English canons, as they are called, are these: 1. The first is, that inheritances shall lineally descend to the issue of the person, who last died, seized 1 2 Blk. Comm. 205. l Idem, 206.

The Hebrew system itself improved, in respect to its legal condition, from the days of Abraham to those of the last Prophets. Some of its customs descended from the primitive patriarchs; most of its laws were given through Moses, and some were changed in after ages. The body of those, however, which denote the state of Hebrew society, are found in the books of Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy. They are those which were declared by an inspired prophet of the Lord; and, compared by any standard of morals, laws, or society extant among other nations, were far beyond what any human lawgiver had then discovered. The civilization of the entire world was then rude, and the marks of that comparative barbarism, as judged by the Christian standard, may be found even in the social state of the Hebrews. It is exhibited, in a most marked degree, in the condition of women, who were not exempt, even in the righteous families of patriarch fathers, from the hard and degrading laws of polygamy; and who, in respect to property and legal rights, were little removed from slaves. This, however, was the universal state of society at that time; and, with the exception of the few Christians who have let in some scattered rays of light on oriental manners, has been the moral and legal state of Asiatic nations through all ages of the world. In our later day, (approaching, as we mayreasonably hope, the " fulness of time," when the dispensation of Christianity shall have made its complete progress through the world,) Condition of the Pagan Nations around the Hebrews. the conquest of India, the removal of commercial interdiction from China, and the co Books, History~~General, Legal-Rights-Liabilities-And-Duties-Of-Women~~Edward-Deering-Mansfield, 999999999, Legal Rights, Liabilities And Duties Of Women (1845), Edward Deering Mansfield, 0217012302, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
