Abstract
IN this volume Dr. Marett has brought together a number of addresses, lectures and essays, ranging from three presidential addresses to the Sociological Institute in 1933-35, and the Donellan Lecture delivered at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1933, to a number of miscellaneous papers, including contributions to publications of a popular or semi-popular character. Notwithstanding their varied character and purpose, they have a certain unity, which is suggested by the author's choice of a title. Between them all they cover the sum of human activities, through which man expresses himself as a member of a society, as a being in relation to a spiritual world, and as an exploiter of his material environment, whether for the practical needs of everyday life or for the expression of an aesthetic impulse.
