Parenthood and Race Culture

“This book lays claim to the distinction of being the first to survey the whole field of eugenics. The author states in the preface that there is need to-day of a general introduction to eugenics which is at least responsible”. The present discussion, it would seem, is a continuation of the author’s previous campaign of advocacy. Further, the book is to be regarded as an exposition. Dr. Saleeby seeks to review and arrange the results of Galton and of the other investigators; still, the author is himself a man of opinions, and he devotes much space to his own particular crotchets. The volume is, without doubt, suitable for popular consumption.
