This concisely written book, covering the whole field of tropical sanitary effort, 

 fills a distinct gap in the literature on Sanitation in the Tropics. It occupies 

 ground not hitherto covered, in that it aims at laying down from the very foundation 

 that knowledge, of disease causation and prevention, so essential to the training 

 of those directly charged with the administration of routine and other sanitary 

 measures. The book will be found a useful work of reference in the office of a 

 municipality, an estate manager, mine owner, or trader. Especially it meets the 

 need of candidates for tropical sanitary appointments.

This book is an expansion of the Chadwick Public Trust Lectures, delivered by 

 Dr. Mott in 191 3, in which the author expounded the subject of Mental Hygiene 

 in relation to the inborn characters of the child and its environment. The subject 

 is first considered from the physiological and anatomical standpoint of the brain 

 specialist and leads up to the explanation of the factors underlying the raw material 

 of character and how this is influenced for good or bad by ancestral inheritance. 

 The complexus of characters derived from species, race, sex, and ancestors is 

 dealt with. A large practical experience has enabled the author to treat of the 

 subjects of responsibility, crime, mental deficiency and insanity, and how they are 

 affected respectively by inborn and environmental conditions of social life. Lastly 

 the author discusses the influence of nutrition and education in relation to the 

 development of body and mind in their medical and social aspects.
