This excellent volume is divided into four chapters, each written by an authority in his field. In chapter I, on the measurement of man in the mass, the late J. Arthur Harris points out that human attributes are rigidly lawful in their frequency of occurrence and that, when man is studied in the mass, many definite relationships can be detected and quantitatively expressed which would be overlooked if attention were limited solely to the consideration of individuals.
