The remote ancestorsof the English people thought and felt differently, as do still theAustralians, whose "first great principle with regard to punishment isthat all the relatives of a culprit, in the event of his not beingfound, are implicated in his guilt: the brothers of the criminalconceive themselves to be quite as guilty as he is. " Then, too, amongcivilized peoples the individualities of women are so far recognizedthat the life and liberty of a wife are not supposed to be bound up withth...ose of her husband; and she now, having obtained a right to exclusivepossession of property, contends for complete independence, domestic andpolitical. It is, or was, otherwise in Fiji. The wives of the Fijianchiefs consider it a sacred duty to suffer strangulation on the deathsof their husbands.
