Synopsis
Excerpt from Husband and Wife: Or the Science of Human Development Through Inherited Tendencies
The last Census reports of the United States exhibit respective ly in round numbers, twenty-four thousand insane, eighteen thou sand idiotie, fourteen thousand deaf and dumb, and eleven thou sand blind among us - a fearful army for a nation of less than thirty millions, claiming to be, all things considered, the most enlightened people on the earth. When we reflect that in all probability many thousand imbeciles, barely separated by a carcely appreciable development from idiots, escaped numera non, we may well begin to inquire for the remedies of this fearful state of things; and call to their posts those whom Nature has empowered to prevent such terrible evils. These are the mothers, the women of our nation: what they in their creative capacity, have left undone for their Offspring, the idiot-trainer, the criminal Judge, or prison discipline, must do in their stead. For these vic tims Of their ignorance or faithlessness.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the relatively recent discovery of transmissible hereditary qualities that extend beyond physical traits to encompass intellect and morality. The author expands upon and presents further evidence to support the claims made in their previous work, Mental and Moral Qualities transmissible from Parent to Child. The author argues that an understanding of this inheritance can help individuals make informed choices about their own health and behaviors as well as the lives of future offspring. Readers will find interest in the author's assertions that both the mother and father contribute to the makeup of the child, not only physically, but also intellectually, morally and emotionally. Moreover, the author contends that occupation, circumstances, and relations in life can help modify the character of the parents and that the offspring are thus inevitably affected by the whole past lives of their progenitors. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330007204_0
