Book Description
Excerpt from Record of Family Faculties, Consisting of Tabular Forms, and Directions for Entering Data: With an Explanatory Preface Mr. Francis Galton offers £500 in prizes to those British subjects resident in the United Kingdom who shall furnish him before May 15, 1884, with the best Extracts from their own Family Records. These Extracts will be treated as confidential documents, to be used for statistical purposes only, the insertion of names of persons and places being required solely as a guarantee of authenticity and to enable Mr. Galton to communicate with the writers in cases where further question may be necessary. The value of the Extracts will be estimated by the degree in which they seem likely to facilitate the scientific investigations described in the preface to the Record of Family Faculties. More especially: (a) By including every direct ancestor who stands within the limits of kinship there specified. (b) By including brief notices of the brothers and sisters (if any) of each of those ancestors. (Importance will be attached both to the completeness with which each family of brothers and sisters is described, and also to the number of persons so described.) (c) By the character of the evidence upon which the information is based. (d) By the clearness and conciseness with which the statements and remarks are made.
