- Summary:
- "This volume, which is neither a treatise on embryology, nor an essay in anatomy or physiological psychology, is intended as a study of the child in the light of the literature of evolution, an attempt to record and, if possible, interpret some of the most interesting and important phenomena of human beginnings in the individual and in the race. In his examination and consideration of the numerous authorities consulted and theories investigated, the author has constantly endeavoured to be fair-minded and just, and has often preferred to retain the ipsissima verba of those who have said certain things well rather than to weaken or condense the argument"--Preface.
