This glossary is a reference work on kinship and affinity which addresses many genealogical and heterogeneal topics of interest to modern Americans, including biblical marriages, the freedom to marry, marriage proclamations and registrations, rites of dissociative passage, degrees of kinship, and social classes.
Lesbians and gays will find The Alphabetary Heraldic enormously interesting, for it plainly and deliberately defines all of the classical terms for homosexual affinities, and outlines the historical evolution of civil registrations.
Christians will find this work interesting because it provides detailed expositions of Anglo-American customs regarding betrothals, nuptials, adoptions, and the like.

tibi dicamus
'Tis strange--but true; for truth is always strange; Stranger than fiction.
Lord Byron (1788-1824), Don Juan, 13.101
Quippe id est homini naturale; ac sicut aves ad volatum, equi ad cursum, ad sævitiam feræ gignuntur; ita nobis propria est mentis agitatio atque sollertia, unde origo animi cælestis creditur.
Reasoning comes as naturally to man as flying to birds, speed to horses, and ferocity to beasts of prey: our minds are endowed by nature with such activity and sagacity that the soul is believed to proceed from heaven.
Quintilian, The Institutio Oratoria, 1.1.18-19
