"Among the distinguished French students of sociology,
Professor Letourneau has long stood in the first rank. He
approaches the great study of man free from bias and shy of
generalisations. To collect, scrutinise, and appraise facts is
his chief business. In the volume before us he shows these
qualities in an admirable degree."--_Science_.
