Galton was instrumental in the formulation of 'eugenics', which seeks to improve the human stock and prevent the degeneration of genetic potential. He introduced the very word "eugenics" and the phrase "nature versus nature." This book consists of a number of lectures delivered by the author during the early part of the twentieth century. Contents: The Possible Improvement of the Human Breed under Existing Conditions of Law and Sentiment; Eugenics, its Definition, Scope, and Aims; Restrictions in Marriage Studies in National Eugenics; Eugenics as a Factor in Religion; Probability, the Foundation of Eugenics; and Local Associations for Promoting Eugenics.
