   Paternal authority, and the order of domestic life, supplied the foundation of
civil government. Did mankind spring out of the earth mature and independent ? It
would be found perhaps impossible to introduce subjection and subordination among
them: but the condition of human infancy prepares men for society, by combining
individuals into small eommunities, and by placing them from the beginning under
direction and control. A family cantains the rudiments of an empire. The
authority of one over many, and the disposition to govern and to be governed, are
in this way incidental to the very nature, and coeval, no doubt, with the existence
of thehumanspecies.-PALEY's MORnAL Pioouv. Boon VL. CO. I.
