Noteworthy families (modern science)
Chapter 10
The most casual glance at Table VII. leaves no doubt as to the rapid diminution in the frequency of noteworthiness as the distance of kinship to the F.R.S. increases, and it would presumably do the same to any other class of noteworthy persons.
In drawing more exact conclusions, the returns must be deemed to refer not to a group of 207 F.R.S., because they are not a fair sample of the whole body of 467, and, for reasons already given, they are too rich in noteworthiness for the one and too poor for the other. They will, therefore, be referred to the number that is the mean of these two limits--namely, to 337. I am aware of no obvious guidance to any better hypothesis.
The value of the expectation that noteworthiness would be found in any specified kinsman of an F.R.S., of whom nothing else is known, may be easily calculated from Table VII. on the two hypotheses already mentioned and justified: (1) That the figures should be taken to refer to 337, and not to 207; (2) that 1 per cent. of the generality are noteworthy--that is to say, there are 3.37 noteworthies to every 337 persons of the generality.
TABLE VII.--NUMBER OF NOTEWORTHY KINSMEN RECORDED IN 207 RETURNS. __________________________________________________________ | | || | | | Kinship. | Numbers || Kinship. | Numbers | | | Recorded.|| | Recorded. | |_________________|__________||________________| __________| | | || | | | _fa_ | 81 || --- | --- | | _bro_ | 104 || --- | --- | | | || | | | _fa fa_ | 40 || _fa fa fa_ | 11 | | _me fa_ | 42 || _fa me fa_ | 2 | | _fa bro_ | 45 || _me fa fa_ | 5 | | _me bro_ | 52 || _me me fa_ | 1 | | | || | | | _fa bro son_ | 30 || _fa fa bro_ | 12 | | _me bro son_ | 19 || _fa me bro_ | 2 | | _fa si son_ | 28 || _me fa bro_ | 6 | | _me si son_ | 22 || _me me bro_ | 2 | |_________________|__________||________________|___________|
Thus, for the fathers of F.R.S., 81 are recorded as noteworthy, against 3.37 of fathers of the generality--that is, they are 24.1 times as numerous. For the first cousins of F.R.S. there are 99 noteworthies, divided amongst four kinds of male first-cousins, or 24.75 on an average to each kind, against the 3.37 of the generality--that is, they are 7.3 times as numerous.
On this principle the expectation of noteworthiness in a kinsman of an F.R.S. (or of other noteworthy person) is greater in the following proportion than in one who has no such kinsman: If he be a father, 24 times as great; if a brother, 31 times; if a grandfather, 12 times; if an uncle, 14 times; if a male first cousin, 7 times; if a great-great-grandfather on the paternal line, 3½ times.
The reader may work out results for himself on other hypotheses as to the percentage of noteworthiness among the generality. A considerably larger proportion would be noteworthy in the higher classes of society, but a far smaller one in the lower; it is to the bulk, say, to three-quarters of them, that the 1 per cent. estimate applies, the extreme variations from it tending to balance one another.
The figures on which the above calculations depend may each or all of them be changed to any reasonable amount, without shaking the truth of the great fact upon which Eugenics is based, that able fathers produce able children in a much larger proportion than the generality.

The parents of the 207 Fellows of the Royal Society occupy a wide variety of social positions. A list is given in the Appendix of the more or less noteworthy parents of those Fellows whose names occur in the list of sixty-six families. The parents are classified according to their pursuits. Many parents of the other Fellows in the 207 families were not noteworthy in the technical sense of the word, but were reported to be able. It was also often said in the replies that the general level of ability among the members of the family of the F.R.S. was high. Other parents were in no way remarkable, so the future Fellow was simply a "sport," to use the language of horticulturists and breeders, in respect to his taste and ability. It is to be remembered that "sports" are transmissible by heredity, and have been, through careful selection, the origin of most of the valuable varieties of domesticated plants and animals. Sports have been conspicuous in the human race, especially in some individuals of the highest eminence in music, painting, and in art generally, but this is not the place to enter further into so large a subject. It has been treated at length by many writers, especially by Bateson and De Vries, also by myself in the third chapter of "Natural Inheritance" and in the preface to the second edition of "Hereditary Genius."

SUMMARY OF THE OCCUPATIONS OF THE 32 FATHERS
11 | PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Astronomy, 2; geology, 4; | physics and mathematics, 3; chemistry, 1; | engineer, 1. | 5 | BIOLOGY: Biology, 2; botany, 1; medicine, 2. | 6 | DIVINITY AND PHILOSOPHY: Divinity, 5; philosophy, 1. | 2 | LAW AND PUBLIC SERVICE: Law, 1; public service, 1. | 4 | HISTORIANS: Historians, 4. | 4 | ARTISTS: Painters, 2; sculptor, 1; architect, 1. ---| 32 |
I gather from this that about 21 of the 38 sons have followed the same pursuits as their parents, and that the remaining 17 have followed different ones; but the distinction is not always clear, so other persons may form slightly different estimates. Anyhow, it appears that the two characteristics of (1) general ability and (2) a passion for a particular pursuit are transmitted more or less independently.

"Dr. Lees' 'Treatment of Some Acute Visceral Inflammations' will prove a welcome addition to the literature dealing with the treatment of visceral inflammations. His experience is very wide, and the success which has followed the various methods advocated for the relief of dilatation of the heart, pericarditis, and other local inflammatory processes proves the correctness of the principles upon which his treatment is based.... We warmly commend the perusal of this volume, not only to practitioners, but to medical students."--_British Medical Journal._
