XIII. THE EVOLUTION OF MARRIAGE. By Professor LETOURNEAU.
“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

the volume before us he shows these qualities in an admirable
degree.... At the close of his attractive pages he ventures to
forecast the future of the institution of marriage.”--_Science._

carried forward the new doctrine so boldly to its extreme logical
consequence.”--Professor SULLY in _Mind_.
