We shall not cite the facts in question here, having no intention of making a resume of them and more particularly desiring to explain how we understand the family of the future. Those readers who wish to study the question more deeply may refer to the works of Letourneau: Sociology and Evolution of the Family; and to that of Elie Reclus: “Primitive Folk, in which they will also find references to the sources from which these authors have drawn. ↩

I do not know whether Jean Grave had seen Prof. Lombroso’s article on the “Physiognomy of the Chicago Anarchists,” one of a series on “Criminal Anthropology,” published in the Monist, Chicago, April, 1891, wherein he admits in a footnote that his analysis was based upon portraits in Capt. Schaack’s book, which, as he had learned later, were incorrect! —Translator ↩

In the United States army this pleasing little ceremony does not take place at roll-call, but at “inspection,” and if anyone be sent to the guardhouse for “clothes offenses” he is fined by the captain or given so many days incarceration. —Translator ↩

Wax plays a great role in the army. This reminds us of an officer of a company of marines who announced to his men that there being a surplus in the commissary the rations were to be increased from the next day on, and it was his duty to see that they should touch them up with—wax and enamel! ↩

The sort of paralysis here alluded to is especially prevalent in France, and is technically called Landry’s Paralysis. The patient loses control of the urinary organs. —Translator ↩
