Xiii, 299 Pp. Blue Cloth, Lettered In Silver. First Printing. Lightly Used. A Dispassionate Study Of Intellect In Time, Space, And Across Societies And Cultures. An Interesting Historical View, Full ,Of Important Truths, But Never Picked Up In Mainstream Education, Politics, Social Science Etc. As The Subject Matter By Its Very Nature Has Relationships With Discredited Eugenics. "Although He Was Himself Of English Descent, Galton Found That The Scots Produced Four Class I Geniuses To England's 1, 20 Class Ii Geniuses To England's 14 (Etc.). The Long Period Of The Dark Ages Under Which Europe Has Lain Is Due, I Believe, In A Very Considerable Degree, To The Celibacy Enjoined By Religious Orders." [As Outstanding Men Tended To Marry Heiresses] "The [Relative] Biological Infertility Of The Heiresses [Who Were Heiresses Because They Inherited Their Wealth By Inheriting From Infertile Relatives] . Prevented The Outstanding Men Of Lower Class Origin Whom They Married From Reproducing At The Normal, Rate. Hence, This Particular Sort Of Superior Line Tended To Die Out." Actually The Whole Thing Is Kind Of Depressing Except For Weyl's Happy Conclusion That Jewish Families Are Structured By Social And Cultural Convention To Enhance The Genetic Prospects Of Creative Individuals, A Topic The Author Expanded Upon In His 1966 Book. This Copy Inscribed By Weyl November 8, 1963, To William F. Buckley Jr. (1925-2008) Buckley's Father Was An Oil Developer Whose Wealth Was Based In Mexico And Became Influential In Mexican Politics During The Military Dictatorship Of Victoriano Huerta, But Was Expelled When Leftist General Álvaro Obregón Became President In 1920. Buckley Himself Was A Cia Operative In Mexico City, Before He Became A Conservative Propagandist And Media Icon. Buckley Founded National Review In 1955 At A Time When There Were Few Publications Devoted To Conservative Commentary. He Served As The Magazine's Editor-In-Chief Until 1990.[51][52] During That Time, National Review Became The Standard-Bearer Of American Conservatism, Promoting The Fusionism Of Traditional Conservatives And Libertarians. Weyl Became A Writer For The National Revie And He And Buckley Were Indeed Good Friends.…
