Abstract
A FEW years ago the readers of many German newspapers were invited by Giese to give an account of the signs by which they noticed that they had become old, and to say at what age these signs first appeared. When these reports were analysed, it appeared that the average age of becoming subjectively old was forty-nine years, but this age of becoming old varied widely with the individual-indeed from age eighteen to eighty-two.
