 recently by scientific methods such as the Neapolitan earthquake of 1857, the 

 Ischian earthquakes of 1881 and 1883, the Charleston earthquake of 1886, the 

 Riviera earthquake of 1887, the Japanese earthquake of 1S91, the Hereford 

 earthquake of 1896, the Indian earthquake of 1897, etc.

MORALS: Their Psycho - Sociological Bases. 



Translated from the French of Duprat's La Morale, 

 By W. J. GREENSTREET, M.A., Headmaster of Marling School. 



The field of psychological research has been widened by the triple alliance 

 of psychology, physiology, and sociology an alliance at once of the most 

 intimate and fundamental nature, and productive of far-reaching results. It 

 need, therefore, occasion no surprise that among the volumes of a scientific 

 series is to be found a treatise dealing with ethical questions. Recent works 

 on ethics have not been numerous, and the writers seem more anxious to soar 

 into the realm of lofty thought than to lay the foundations of work that will 

 be positive and lasting. It would seem that the time has come for a system of 

 ethics less ambitious in its aims, more restricted in its scope, and based on a 

 more rigorous method of treatment.

 what the four leading nations of the worldEngland, France, Germany, and
