Contains Galton's chief contributions to psychology. Strongly influenced by his cousin's Origin of Species, Galton began reflecting on the influence of heredity on the human race. Impressed by the fact that distinction of any kind is apt to r un in families, he made a series of statistical investigations whereby he showed the heritability of genius of all kinds. The results are set forth in several books, including Inquiries into Human Faculty. The study of heredity led Galton to the conviction that the human race might gain an indefinite improvement by breeding from the best & restricting the offspring of the worst. To this study he gave the name Eugenics.

Contains Galton's chief contributions to psychology. Strongly influenced by his cousin's Origin of Species, Galton began reflecting on the influence of heredity on the human race. Impressed by the fact that distinction of any kind is apt to r un in families, he made a series of statistical investigations whereby he showed the heritability of genius of all kinds. The results are set forth in several books, including Inquiries into Human Faculty. The study of heredity led Galton to the conviction that the human race might gain an indefinite improvement by breeding from the best & restricting the offspring of the worst. To this study he gave the name Eugenics.

A very good, quite clean set with volume III-A in tattered dus t wrapper. Very scarce. With an envelope from Blackwell's containing their correspondence with and invoice to the original French purchaser of the set in 1969 -- which explains why the first volume isn't present. Amazingly, volumes 2 & both parts of 3 we re still in print in 1969, while volume 1 was out of print. The standard and most likely never to be exceeded biography of Galton. Lacking the first volume published in 1914, sales of which were tiny and quite disappointing. Volume two begins in 1854 wit h Galton at age 32, so the three volumes offered cover all of Galton's mature ethnology, psychology, and eugenics.
