Abstract
THE reviewer confronted with three works on the same subject, written by authors belonging to three different nationalities, is almost irresistibly tempted to enlarge on national character in scientific writing. To escape this temptation he has adopted the prudent course of leaving it to the reader to decide what part racial and what part individual characteristics bear[in determining the difference in treatment.
