I gather from this that about 21 of the 38 sons have followed the same pursuits as their parents, and that the remaining 17 have followed different ones; but the distinction is not always clear, so other persons may form slightly different estimates. Anyhow, it appears that the two characteristics of (1) general ability and (2) a passion for a particular pursuit are transmitted more or less independently.

“Dr. Lees' ‘Treatment of Some Acute Visceral Inflammations’ will prove a welcome addition to the literature dealing with the treatment of visceral inflammations. His experience is very wide, and the success which has followed the various methods advocated for the relief of dilatation of the heart, pericarditis, and other local inflammatory processes proves the correctness of the principles upon which his treatment is based.... We warmly commend the perusal of this volume, not only to practitioners, but to medical students.”—British Medical Journal.
