TWINS FROM A TWIN-BEARING FAMILY 



These bo.vs came honestly by being twins. In fact, they were lucky not to have been 

 quadruplets, for on their mother's side of the family are two cases of twinning, and on the 

 father's side there are seven pairs of twins. Since Galton's pioneer studies regarding the 

 similarities and differences of twins they have been of perpetual interest to students of 

 heredity, and their popular interest antedates Galton thousands of years, at least. Later 

 studies but serve to confirm Galton's original conclusion, "that nature prevails enormously 

 over nurture, when the dififerences of nurture do not exceed what is commonly to be found 

 among persons in the same rank in society and in the same country." (Frontispiece.)
