Appropriation
Is the Nephew left by his Father an orphan without
provision? But so many may any other child be, who
has no Uncle. Whatever provision is made for orphans
in general may serve for this particular case.
Would it not be however appear a hardship, were
if the destitute brother was not be said to deserve to receive no relief out of the

Between Parent and child there exists to a certain degree a necessary intercommunity of goods: to a considerable degree, between brothers on the one hand and brothers and brothers children on the other there is at least a natural one: and the greater need the younger relation either party may stand in of support, the more exclusive this intercommunity will naturally be.

another, the cessation of it is not merely a failure
of acquisition, but in some degree a loss. Hence the
