This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.
The Family and theN ation, we have published occasional papers and articles extending some of the ideas therein contained. Although the present volume reproduces the substance of some of these papers, the larger portion of it consists of hitherto unprinted work. To prevent the need of reference to the former book, certain sections have been abstracted and re-written, such as the one on the scientific aspect of Variation, and the statistical portion of the chapter on theB irth-rate ;but any one who desires to study these and kindred subjects in more detail must consult the earlier volume, especially the chapters on Inheritance and Variation in Mankind, the Inheritance of Mental Defect and A bility, and theS elective Birth-rate. The causes of the decline in the birth-rate are there likewise discussed. We wish especially to guard against one misconception into which certain of our former readers and reviewers seem to have fallen. Both this book and its predecessor are written avowedly to draw attention to the problem of heredity, a conception which has hardly yet penetrated consciously into modern sociology, where the subject of environment has held hitherto almost limitless sway.
