Abstract
(1) DR. SIEGEL'S small volume has been written for the average reader who may wish to learn something about the science of eugenics. Folio whig a short chapter on the laws of heredity, the author opens his main theme, which is that the number of defectives in proportion to sound stock in a population is steadily increasing, owing to the prevalence of what may be called faulty mating; and it is the author's object to indicate how it should be possible to ensure proper and suitable unions.
