Abstract

In any endeavour to trace the evolution of social life, we
may safely assume as a starting point that the family is the
natural foundation of all social relations.
Blood relationship would naturally, in its infancy, form the
strongest tie between members of the human race. Then
would come the ties of kinship : and these in turn would
broaden out into the realisation of duties as between man and
man—the observance of which would be necessary to give
stability to a brotherhood based on the foundations of a
general social relationship. As the conditions of society
became more complex, various and conflicting interests would
necessarily arise ; and in time would become developed those
-well-defined separations of interests that characterise the
social relations of the Nineteenth-Century Civilisation.
