I gather from this that about 21 of the 38 sons have followed the
same pursuits as their parents, and that the remaining 17 have
followed different ones; but the distinction is not always clear, so
other persons may form slightly different estimates. Anyhow, it
appears that the two characteristics of (1) general ability and (2) a
passion for a particular pursuit are transmitted more or less
independently.

Mary's Hospital. Crown 8vo. 6s. net.
"Dr. Lees' 'Treatment of Some Acute Visceral Inflammations' will
prove a welcome addition to the literature dealing with the
treatment of visceral inflammations. His experience is very wide,
and the success which has followed the various methods advocated
for the relief of dilatation of the heart, pericarditis, and
other local inflammatory processes proves the correctness of the
principles upon which his treatment is based.... We warmly
commend the perusal of this volume, not only to practitioners,
but to medical students."--_British Medical Journal._
