Abstract
DR. MARIE STOPES has written a very good book on birth control. Not the least of its merits is a simple directness which marks sincerity and contrasts pleasantly with the sentimental sloppiness which nauseates in many publications on the same subject. She relies on evidence, and marshals it in a clear, readable way. Given her point of view, we may differ from her on minor matters, but on the whole she compels agreement.
