APPENDIX A 



LITERARY FAMILIES 



This appendix consists of a list of families furnishing more 

 than one member to the study ; together with the names, degree 

 of relationship, and date of birth of all literati belonging to 

 each family. In each case the literati are classified under the 

 name of the eldest person bearing the family name, and the 

 degree of kinship is expressed with reference to him. 



The literary relatives of any person in the study are to be 

 found by looking in Appendix B opposite his name. If no 

 name is found there, he had no relatives on the roll on which 

 this study is based. If a name is found in the appropriate 

 column, the collected family names will usually be found in 

 this appendix under the name of the elder of the two. In 

 case neither name is to be found at the head of a list of names 

 in this appendix, it is because neither person is the earliest 

 literary member of the family. The name of the first family 

 representative is to be found by looking in Appendix B, under 

 that of the elder of the two relatives known, and continuing 

 the process till a name is found which heads a family list 

 in this table.
