| Summary | "The following pages embody the results of several years of close,and, I believe, dispassionate observation. The exigencies of our language have compelled me to use unpleasant and even clumsy epithets.The words "shrewish" and "non-shrewish" are used with greatreluctance. Unhappily no other words convey the meaning they are intended to convey. As I have said in the second chapter the words "are not used as nicknames, not even as words of disparagement; they are used in a strictly scientific sense to denote special phases of character and the union of such phases with certain anatomical and physiological peculiarities." I may add that "there is no truth gleanable by moral methods which ought not to be gleaned; and none which, if wisely used, may not be put to some adequately rewarding purpose." The chapter on physiology in human affairs--in education, calling, race, faith, morals, progress, and civilization deals with matters in which I take so deep an interest that I hope some day to give it a separate and more expanded form"--Preface.
