Abstract
I PROPOSE in this memoir to deduce by fair reasoning from acknowledged facts a more definite notion than now exists of the meaning of the word “kinship.”It is my aim to analyse and describe the complicated connection that binds an individual, hereditarily, to his parents and to his brothers and sisters, and, therefore, by an extension of similar links, to his more distant kinsfolk. I hope by these means to set forth the doctrines of heredity in a more orderly and explicit manner than is otherwise practicable.
