We have received a revised and changed edition of The

Life History Album, by F. Galion, D.C.L. (Macmillan and Co., 5s. net). Mr. Galton edited this book some years ago for Dr. Mahomed, —the present writer thinks that he noticed it then. It is now re- arranged. The idea is that when a child is born his parents should enter particulars about him, and that he should keep up the record himself. After two or three centuries of such records we shall begin to know a good deal more about the human constitution than we do. All honour to those who begin the work.
