Riassunto

Excerpt from A Second Study of the Influence of Parental Alcoholism on the Physique and Ability of the Offspring: Being a Reply to Certain Medical Critics of the First Memoir and an Examination of the Rebutting Evidence Cited by Them

Our own position was very fully defined beforehand. We realised the question of intemperance as one of the chief problems of our national life, and believed it to be one that essentially came undere the definition of National Eugenics which alone controls the work of this Laboratory'x'. But, as in other cases, we were resolved to test these alcoholic problems for ourselves, by our own methods. And on material which had not been collected by any ex parte recorders already pledged to definite opinions. Our memoir was the first of a series of which the third is now at press, and may, though we would hope will not, provide further material for the vituperation and invective which has followed the first issue.
