Excerpt from Heredity
A glance at the book will show that much prominence has been given to three kinds of conclusions - those reached by microscopic study of the germ-cells, those reached by the appli cation of statistical methods, and those reached through ex periment. I have equal sympathy with all these ways of attacking the mysterious problems, and since I have not, to my lasting regret, found any opportunity, amid the continuous claims of professional duties, of working along any. One of them, I can, without seeming to recommend my own wares, press a consideration of the results which have been achieved on the attention of all thoughtful men and women. The new facts are of especial interest to medical practitioners, to educationists, including clergymen, to social reformers, and to actual or prospective parents.
