Excerpt from The Further Evolution of Man: A Study From Observed Phenomena

I WISH to record that the thoughts and ideas expressed in this work owe their origin largely to the stimulation and encouragement received through association with the fine intellectual vigour and acumen of the minds of the Shakespeare Club of Melrose (where I practised for many years the profession of medicine) from the year of its origin in 1884-85 until I ceased active membership in 1912. It is not intended to convey the impression that all the members did or do agree with the general trend of this book, or with individual expressions of opinion contained in it. What I do wish to convey is that but for association with such minds it would never have been possible for me to produce this volume, and that if there is any merit in it I desire to express my grateful thanks to one and all of the members past and present. I desire to thank especially the Rev. John L. King, m.a., for a long time the able Secretary, for his views on "good and evil," "punishment," and "imprisonment."

My indebtedness to Paulin is apparent throughout.
