It is an interestingobject of curiosity to most men to search into the origin of their own families, to trace their descents, and to collect the history of the individuals who compose them. However remote in time or consanguinity, it is natu- ral to believe that we inherit from our fathers their mental and physical peculiarities, though modified by circumstances. We enter affectionately into their concerns, and rejoice in their honors or prosperity, and are personally grieved by their misconduct or misfortunes. These sentiments are undoubtedly founded in the innate and best feelings of the human heart, which delights in mul- tiplying and extending the ties that bind us to our fellow creatures. The love of our kindred is the first degree of ex- pansion of thj heart in its progress towards universal bene- volence.
