The leading physiologists and scientists of to-day are 

 very unanimous in opinion that in-breeding in the human 

 race, even within bounds permitted by hvw~, is not con- 

 ducive to either physical, mental, or moral development, 

 but decidedly the reverse. In proportion as we descend 

 in thescale, the ill results are less pronounced, orniauifi st ; 

 chiefly because the various developments of the animal are 

 Jess pronounced, but the evil still remains ; and where in- 

 breeding is recklessly indulged in, soon becomes manll, st 

 and very serious. We do not declaim against all in-
