Hereditary Descent: Its Laws and Facts, Illustrated and Applied to the Improvement of Mankind; With Hints to Woman (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Hereditary Descent: Its Laws and Facts, Illustrated and Applied to the Improvement of Mankind; With Hints to WomanN. B. As facts of this kind are the main items of value, and as they are so abundant as to be within the observation and memory of every reader, the author solicits the communication of striking and well authenticated facts of this class, especially from Phrenologists and from mothers, particularly those facts which evince changes in children of different ages, analogous to those to which the parents, during the augmentation of their families, were subject. Mothers, especially, who can trace their own peculiari ties of feeling in the dispositions of their children, will do goodby relating their own experience, as guides and warnings to those who are inexperienced in this matter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
