ADDITIONAL WORKS OF REFERENCE FOR THE 

 SECTION OF THE FAMILY 



(Prepared through courtesy of Dr. Samuel W. Dike) 



For earlier and fuller presentation of some of the views set forth in this paper 

 see a paper in the Princeton Review, of March, 1884, on "Some Aspects of the 

 Divorce Question." This sketches in a crude way the various social tendencies 

 that have produced our American divorce question. See Christian Thought for 

 December, 1885, for an outline of the way in which the family has been relatively 

 suppressed in Christianity. A discussion of the "Contract Theory of the Family 

 and its Relation to the Same Theory in Church and State " may be found in the 

 Andover Review for December, 1893. The Andover Review for September, 1885, 

 in the fourth of a series of articles on the " Religious Problem of the Country 

 Town " suggests an historic explanation of the excessive use of the communal 

 principle, and the corresponding suppression of the family in the churches of this 

 country. Lightfoot, Hatch, Cunningham, and Harnack should be consulted. 

 See the American Journal of Sociology for December, 1901, for a plea for a more 

 scientific treatment of the communal organizations of to-day. 



The following authorities are suggested on the points of my paper: Sir Henry 

 S. Maine's Ancient Law; also his Early Law and Custom and Early History of 

 Institutions; Lecky's History of European Morals, and his Democracy; The 

 Ante-Nicene Fathers, edited by Bishop Coxe; Dr. John Fulton's (canon) Laws 

 of Marriage; the histories of ethical and political movements in Europe and 

 the United States; the chapter in Bryce's Essays in History and Jurisprudence 

 on " Divorce in Roman and English Law." George E. Howard's History of Matri- 

 monial Institutions contains the fullest and best bibliography of its subject, and 

 this is by far the best work on its special subject. Its presentation of original 

 material on the history of marriage and divorce in the United States from the 

 earliest colonial times is complete. 



For statistics of marriage and divorce see the report of the United States 

 Department of Labor made in 1889, to be brought down to date in 1907. For 

 summaries of recent statistics see the report of the National League for the 

 Protection of the Family for 1903. 



On uniform legislation see the annual reports of the National League for the 

 Protection of the Family, of the American Bar Association, and of the Conference 

 of the State Commissions on Uniform Legislation. 



The annual volumes of Proceedings of the Religious Education Association 

 contain several valuable papers on the Home in Relation to the Religious Train- 

 ing of (he Young.
