“Among these papers are to be found one by Mr. Francis Galton on ‘Restrictions in marriage,’ a subject which evidently excited a great amount of interest, the contributions to the discussion, verbal and written, being far more numerous than we find anywhere else; ‘The school in some of its relations to social organisation and to national life,’ by Professor M. E. Sadler; and ‘The influence of magic on social relationships,’ by Dr. E. Westermarck, a most remarkable collection of facts on one aspect of primitive and savage life.”—Spec.
