This book is the only one of its scope in the English language. It gives a
popularly written yet scientific account of all that the average educated
reader may desire to know about “Heredity and Kindred Subjects,” without
assuming any knowledge of the subject on the reader’s part.

Heredity and Social Progress
BY SIMON N. PATTEN, PH.D., LL.D.
Professor of Political Economy, University of Pennsylvania.
Author of “The New Basis of Civilization,” etc.
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.25_
“With keen philosophic insight Professor Patten, in this book, probes to
the roots of biology and plants there the foundations of economics and
other social sciences. It is a bold deduction, wrought out with perfect
logic, and shows one common principle active in every advance from the
lowest unicellular organism to the highest social institution.”--_Annals
American Academy._
“It is a book rich in suggestion and presents the subject in a clear and
sometimes rather startling manner.”--_Ohio Farmer._

Conduct and its Disorders Biologically Considered
By CHARLES ARTHUR MERCIER, M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.S., Physician for
Mental Diseases to Charing Cross Hospital; Author of “A Textbook of
Insanity,” “Criminal Responsibility,” etc.
_Cloth, 8vo, xxiii + 377 pages, index, $3.23_ _by mail, $3.42_
Although Dr. Mercier’s work on _Conduct and its Disorders_ will be of
special service to students of mental disease, the subject is one of such
wide interest that other readers, less interested perhaps in its
scientific aspects, will find the work full of suggestive information. The
author points out that although conduct is what we are all engaged in,
from birth to death, and though many departments of conduct are described
in many books, there is not in existence, curiously enough, any
comprehensive study of conduct as a whole--any general view of the field
of human activity. It is this gap that Dr. Mercier has set himself to fill
by the present work. The principle on which his exhaustive investigation
has been made is the biological principle. He has estimated the various
modes and phases of human activity in the light of their value in securing
the survival of man in the struggle for existence.
