PREFACE

In 1890 I gave a lecture to the Edinburgh Health Society,which appeared as No. 2 of their Eleventh Series. Its title is “TheImportance of Ideals of Health, Beauty, etc., in Race Progress.”

Much the same thesis considerably expanded was given by me in theform of three Milroy Lectures to the Royal College of Physiciansof London in March, 1894, and appeared at the time almost verbatimin the Lancet.

The present volume contains these lectures[viii] somewhat arranged tosuit a less technically instructed audience. I am indebted to mycolleague, Professor Richards, for his kindness and care in revisingthe proofs.
