‎ With a foreword by Robert Jones, the geatest figure in British orthopaedics: "This book aims at establishing principles explaining the manner in which body growth is affected by injurious influences. These principles have hitherto been ignored by textbooks of pathology.... The author gives us a standard for judging the 'constitution' of men from size, form, attitude and grait, from the condition of their hands and feet; and the insight into the causes of these defects provides us with principles to cultivate strength in future generations.... It carries a torch into the dark places and display a new line of research both fascinating and scientific, and of great social and practical promis". The author, an orthopaedic surgeon of international reputation, will be remembered for his theory of dissociation of bone growth (see g&m, 4395).‎
