An Essay On Collateral Consanguinity, It's Limits, Extent, And Duration;: More Particularly As It Is Regarded By The Statutes Of All Souls College In The University Of Oxford" by William Blackstone. This work analyzes how collateral kinship (consanguinity) is defined and bounded in English law and canonical and civil law. Blackstone surveys the founder's intent at All Souls College (Oxford) and argues that kinship extends only to a finite boundary, not to infinity. He surveys methods of interpreting statutes (verba legis, ratio legis, mens legislatoris) and relies on authorities from civil law, canon law, and common-law practice. The treatise examines the nature of consanguinity, the limits set by various legal systems, and the practical consequences of extending kinship without bound, including potential absurdities in college governance, inheritance, marriage prohibitions, and juror challenges. The result is a defense of a finite, well-defined boundary for kinship to preserve the founder’s aims and the integrity of legal institutions.
