To Which Has Been Added The Story Of Life

" Practical Eugenics by B.G. Jefferis, edited by J.L. Nichols, is a late 19th- or early 20th-century book that discusses eugenics, a social philosophy that promoted selective breeding to "improve" human heredity. Like many works of its time, it aimed to provide guidance on topics related to health, reproduction, and morality, often advocating for the idea that societal well-being could be enhanced through controlled breeding practices.

The book includes discussions on heredity, genetics, marriage, and child-rearing, framed within the context of eugenic ideals that were popular in the early 20th century. It was published during a period when eugenics was widely debated and sometimes implemented through social policies, particularly in the United States and Europe."

Covers with general wear, scuffing etc with a stain to the outer spine edge as shown. Pages typically very clean with subtle age tanning only. Some insect damage to endpapers as shown. Would be relatively straight forward to replace front pastedown I would imagine. A decent copy in good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
