Note 24 — Chapter I · THE PATRIARCHAL THEORY

Maine, Early Law and Custom, chaps. iii, iv, viii. For ancestor-worship see especially Fustel de Coulanges, Ancient City, 9-52; Hearn, Aryan Household, 15 ff., 45, 46, 59, 60; Taylor, Primitive Culture, II ("Animism"); Mayne, Hindu Law and Usage, 55, 438; Lyall, Asiatic Studies, chap. ii; Duruy, History of Rome, I, 206; Zimmer, Altindisches Leben, 413; Botsford, Athenian Constitution, 24, 25, passim, who holds against Schrader, Sprachvergleichung (2d ed.), 613-15, that ancestor-worship arose before the separation of the Aryan races. Fustel de Coulanges, Ancient City, 49-51, and Hearn regard the religious tie as of more importance than the blood-bond in the formation of the gentile groups, Aryan Household, 66; and Leist, Graeco-italische Rechtsgeschichte, 7 ff., 11 ff., also makes the formation of the first recognized groups of relationship depend on the sacra. Cf. Kohler, in ZVR., VI, 409-17, for animism; and for additional references, a subsequent note.
