Note 43 — Chapter I · THE PATRIARCHAL THEORY
Reading edition
Westermarck, op. cit., 224-35, gives an enumeration. Noteworthy examples of patriarchal power are afforded by the ancient Peruvians and Mexicans, and by the modern Chinese and Japanese. On the Nahua and Maya natives see Bancroft, Native Races, II, 247-53, 663-68. Cf. Kohler, "Das Recht der Azteken," ZVR., XI, 54, 55; also ibid., VI, 374 (Chinese), 333, 334; VII, 373 (Papuas).
