Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lineage of Lichfield: An Essay in Eugenics You have herewith the book which you once desired me to make, in just the utterly unreadable form which you suggested. Indeed, I can now see that in no less devastating manner could I well dispose of the questions you then asked, a bit sceptically, as to "the connecting theme" of my books in gross. For the quite obvious connection is the fact that they constitute a largish family tree, which I herewith present for your confusion. It is a genealogy - although for reasons that are hereinafter, I trust, made plain, the compiler elects to call it a Biography - of which the evolution was begun as far back as 1901, when I wrote the first of the stories afterward bound up together as The Line of Love. And the general "method" followed in that volume - of depicting a decisive passage in the lives of two persons, then a similar untying of knots in the life of a child of that couple, and yet afterward in one of the grand children´s life-history - has been extended, but never altered, in my succeeding volumes. The most plain connection of my various books is, thus, precisely the same connection that exists between the several stories in my first written book, The Line of Love.
