A. D. F. Rawpoira. The Homan Wife, From the Contemporary Review. In the early stazes of Roman history there is Teason to believe that the Roman wife was com- pletely under the control of her husband. The Roman idea of a family made the father a despot, With power of life and death over his children, Whocould do nothing without Dis consent. This Was the case in regard to male child even after | they had reached a considerable agv. Women ac- cording lo tue opinion o: the early Romans, were always children. ‘Tuey required protection aud guidance during their whole life, and could never be freed from control. Accordingly, when a Koman girl married, sue had | to choose Whether sue would remain under the | control of her father or pass into the control, or as ‘Wt was called, into the hands of her busband.’ It is likely tuat in the early ges of the city sne always: passed from the power of her father 1nio the hands of her husband, and tue position she ov ye Was | that Of daugh.er to ber husband.
