• Nature and Nurture in -Mental Development. By F. W.

Mott. (John Murray. 3s. 6d. net.)—This little book is an amplifi- cation of three lectures which Dr. Mott delivered last year under the auspices of the Chadwick Trust. It is full of sug- gestive and sensible remarks, and should stimulate the reader to further inquiries regarding the respective parts played by environment and heredity in mental hygiene.
