Abstract
THOSE who are interested in the history of the growth of science in this country and in the men who participated in its development will thank Dr. Galton for having provided them with a characteristic account of his own life and of his relations with three generations of men of thought and action. Although Dr. Galton has provided a précis wherein those who know something of the author and his deeds can read between the lines, a biographer is still needed who will portray to the world what manner of man he is. Probably many will feel that the autobiographer's “fear” is well grounded that he may “have failed through over omission.”
Memories of My Life.
