Of course all this refers to a period long anterior to that at which humane and reasonable considerations are influential enough to procure for women some approach to an equality of rights. [See, in connection with the earlier part of the preceding para- graph, note on p. 126. Beference may also be made to Th$ Pairiarchal Theory, ch. xiii. On the theory of agnation stated in this work, there was, with kinship through males, a tendency to agnation, but it had to overcome the resistance offered b...y the pre- vious establishment of a system of kinship through females ; and the circumstances which favoured it included the removal of the most effective (often, no doubt, the only effective) check upon the paternal power — the protection of the wife's kindred. On this theory, therefore, the paternal power was high wherever there was much likelihood of kinship becoming agnatia Among savage or barbarous peoples it- is found with male kin- ship that the wife's position is often very low, and that a man can often do with his children pretty much what he pleases so long as they are young and helpless, though the interest in them of their father's relatives, that is the blood-feud, protects them more ot less.
