Abstract
THE author of this book is an American pro fessor of zoology, and from his preface we learn that a large proportion of the population (of the United States?) refuse to accept religious guidance in sexual matters, and that he aspires to substitute for this guidance the supreme authority of science. He has succeeded in giving a readable account-couched in comparatively simple language of the structure of the reproductive organs in man, which should be quite intelligible to the average educated person.
