réf. 144231Very Good. Duodecimo 4 pages on 2 conjugate leaves Hampstead 29 March 1899. Folded for posting; a few light smudges; paper a little unevenly tanned; in very good condition. The letter addressed to a Dr Williams begins with a declaration: 'I hasten to say that I personally am not a believer in telegony' a theory of heredity claiming that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent. He corrects a misunderstanding that may have arisen from something he said regarding dog and horse breeders; 'It is also attested of negresses that have born to a white man that they will bear afterwards partially white children to a black man. some years ago I investigated the matter by testing for some five hundred pairs of sons & daughters whether the younger were more like the Father than the Mother but I could find no trace of it. Francis Galton at the discussion which followed the paper spoke of telegony as a superstition and Lankester Poulton & others had nothing to say in favour of it'. He refers to Charles Darwin's account in '"Origin of Species" . of Lord Morton's quagga' and notes that Ewart has been trying to repeat the experiment without success. 'I should say that telegony like the inheritance of acquired characters may have an element of truth in it but all the arguments in favour of it so far deduced are from the scientific standpoint worthless. It is a widespread superstition'. Karl Pearson 'has been credited with establishing the discipline of mathematical statistics. He founded the world's first university statistics department at University College London in 1911 and contributed significantly to the field of biometrics and meteorology. Pearson was also a proponent of Social Darwinism and eugenics and his thought is an example of what is today described as scientific racism' Wikipedia. He was the first Galton Professor of Eugenics holding the chair from 1911 to 1933. unknown

1900réf. List3734New York City: Brown Bros 1900. Press photo measuring 5 ½ x 6 ½ inches. Publisher's stamps and manuscript "Ellis Island" on verso. Excellent contrast. Slight damage to edges with a few chips to image excellent to Near Fine. Starting in the 1890s restrictions on immigration began to include bars on people determined to be of lower intelligence experiencing mental health conditions or likely to require welfare. These restrictions were reinforced and expanded by the Immigration Acts of 1907 and 1917. As a consequence immigrants arriving at processing stations like Ellis Island were administered tests of their literacy and mental hygiene. This photograph shows a young woman apparently being administered such a mental examination by an American officer on Ellis Island. Physical health was tested as well; a stadiometer is also visible in the photo. At the time the concern of those pushing for these tests was the influx of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe and from Asia with the aim being to ensure a "better stronger more intelligent race" of Americans rather than a "weak and possibly degenerate mongrel."1 1 Robert De C.

TLS on letterhead “Copy” and Osborn’s initials in ink crease folds wear & minor tears at folds some age toning still VG- set. These two scarce original promotional brochure and TLS reflect the ongoing efforts by prominent eugenicist Paul Popenoe dubbed “the father of marriage counseling” to spread and inculcate followers into his racist eugenics policies. The letter to the YMCA at Brown University to drum up speaking tour dates from the Institute’s Educational Director Loran Osborn writes that “his Popenoe’s fee is $100 per day . . . and he is perfectly willing to speak two of three times in a day. . . .” His speaking subjects included “A Biological View of the Jewish Problem” “The Progress of Eugenics” “Should Women Compete with Men” and others in the same vein. Popenoe advocated sterilization for those who were deemed unfit to reproduce and marriage counseling for healthy “White” couples and whose lectures often stated that “continued limitation of offspring in the White race simily inites the Black Brown and other races to finish the work already begun by Birth Control and reduce the “Whites” to a subject race. Most of Popenoe’s beliefs became institutionalized into conservative Christian movements and evangelical churches in Southern California and his Institute of Family Relations influenced generations of marriage counselors.
