On the Influence of Sex in Hereditary Disease

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

In an elaborate paper upon this subject in the last two numbers of the ‘British and Foreign Review’ (April and July, 1863), Mr. Sedgwick has recorded numerous facts, which he has been at the pains to collect from various English and French sources; so numerous, indeed, are his observations, that his paper will supply a valuable storehouse of references to those who may wish specially to study the subject. The more general reader, overwhelmed by the multitude of unconnected details which seem to point to no conclusion, may, perhaps, find the ancient adage involuntarily rise to his lips—Non numerandæ sed perpendendæ observationes. It is an adage, however, which is more often the refuge of idleness unwilling to labour at the tedious collection of facts, than it is the legitimate expression of a just censure.
