The Principles of Heredity

Abstract

I HAVE every reason to be satisfied with the kind and indulgent review (December 7, p. 121) by “A. D. D.” of my book “The Principles of Heredity,” but there is one sentence of it on which I should like to comment, more particularly as it contains nothing of blame or praise. “A. D. D.” writes, “this book... is an embodiment of the recognition by medical men that they depend ultimately for a precise knowledge of nature on the professional biologist—who may or may not, at the same time, be a medical man.”
