Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

although physically unfit persons do occasionally exhibit mental
powers of a high, it may be of the highest, order, the continuance
of the species will not be of them nor of such as they. The
physical and moral health of the people is the all-important factor
in a nation's welfare; all other considerations are merely details
of policy. Governments come and go, monarchies fall andrepublics
