Abstract
MR. ELLIS suggests in his preface that this book, first published in 1894, may be thought by some to have no longer a useful purpose to serve, as it is supporting a conception towards which general opinion has been moving, that of “the entire equivalence of the sexes”. The movement has not, however, been sufficiently rapid to make anything but desirable the preparation of this new and considerably modified edition, with its impartial and critical survey of observations made in many different parts of the world. These have confirmed the author's original view that “the sexes are perfectly poised in complete equivalence”.
