A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

Introduction. The writer assumes in this volume that there are laws of hereditary transmission in the mental and moral, as well as the physical constitution. Precisely what all these laws are, she does not assume to state. Careful observation, and an earnest sense of their importance, must be employed for their full discovery. In the mean time, acquaintance with such as are known will be helpful to all, and will facilitate the discovery of those yet hidden from us. Women, who bear so important a part in parentage, should be the most clear-sighted students of Nature in these things. They know so much more from experience in maternity, than men can know in paternity, the nearest of possible relations before birth is so exclusively theirs, they are so exceedingly emotional, and appreciative of external influences bearing on themselves, and through themselves on the unborn, that much most, in this department must -naturally fall to them. We have not only endeavored to give the facts for the law of maternal power, but according to the best authorities and the widest observation, have stated the law for the facts; so far, at least, as the mothers power during the period of gestation is concerned. The important points developed are. First, That the mothers intellectual activity, under certain circumstances, descends: Second, That her affectional state, if not overruled by some more powerful impressions, has a degree of influence almost determining in character: Third, That her susceptibility aswoman, makes the choice of influences that shall co-operate with her maternal forces a momentous power in its results on her child.
