[422.1] As to adoption generally, in addition to the citations above, see, among others, Paulitschke, 209; Robertson Smith, Kinship, 44, 149; Aulus Gellius, v. 19; Hunter, Captivity, 19, 35, 249; ii. Domenech, 324, 350; Featherman, Aoneo-Mar., 184, 310, 320; Chiapo-Mar., 274; Codrington, 42; Marsden, 229; vi. Rep. Bur. Ethn., 580; ix., 419; i. Crantz, 165; i. N. Ind. N. and Q., 152, 204; D’Arbois, i. Droit Celt., 251; Kaindl, 26. Biddulph, 82, describes fosterage in the Hindoo Koosh. Mr. Parkinson, in ii. Internat. Arch., 33, speaks of adoptive parents and children in the Kingsmill Islands. Adoption, however, seems there rather of the nature of sponsorship. It creates rights and duties, but does not involve detachment from the family of birth. A similar custom appears elsewhere in Polynesia.
[424.1] Ramage, 241. Mr. Ramage’s journey took place in 1828, and the incident referred to occurred at some previous date not indicated. May we hope the Italian peasant knows better by this time?
