Item description from seller

xi+196+32(pub.list), 21 ills.; traces of label removal on fr. graphite endpapers, few faint brown spots to prelims, otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked; covers minimally worn, clean bar a small white smudge on back, a few small spots of pigment loss top fr. edge. Red cloth cover, clean with gilt-lettered sp. w. only slightest end-rubbing. Generally a very sound copy of this interesting work on how sex is determined including a chapter on hermaphroditism and others as indicated in lengthy sub-title. His theory that sex is determined by which ovary the fertilized ovum originates from - hence facilitating control over the child's gender since ova released alternately from the two ovaries - is of course totally erroneous. The author was a very eminent late Victorian obstetrician.
