LONDON: STANLEY PAUL&CO., 31 Essex St., Strand, W.C. UNFINISHED MAN A Scientific Analysis of the Psychopath or Human Degenerate By Dr. Albert Wilson. Demy 8vo, cloth gilt. Fully illustrated. With a Preface by Arnold White, ios. 6d. net. Of high importance for students of sociology is this inter- esting book of Dr. Wilson’s.

EDUCATION, PERSONALITY, AND CRIME By Dr. Albert Wilson. Demy 8vo, cloth gilt. 7s. 6d. net. Dr. Albert Wilson, who received much assistance in his re- searches from the late General Booth, believes the criminal, as a rule, misunderstood and down-trodden, and holds that in- herited dispositions are increased by under-nourishment and evil conditions of life, while the present punitive system turns criminals into lifelong outlaws.
