• Resumen

  • The article describes the conception of the family promoted by the late eighteenth century English court of Chancery. The ideal parents of late eighteenth century equit would provide for their children until their majorities, and transfer large sums of money to them soon after their majorities so that they could make their way in the world and enjoy some power over their own children. The ideal children of late eighteenth century equity did not exploit any power advantages they might fortuitiously have enjoyed over their parents; they gave off their own property to pull their parents out of debt, and did not marry without parental consent.
