Inhaltsangabe

The Law of Inheritance: Or The Philosophy of Breeding is a book written by Edward Lewis Sturtevant in 1875. The book is focused on the science of breeding and inheritance, and explores the principles and laws that govern the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. It covers topics such as the role of heredity in the development of plants and animals, the importance of selecting the right traits for breeding, and the potential for genetic variation and mutation. The book also discusses the practical applications of breeding, including the improvement of crops and livestock, and the potential for creating new varieties and species. Overall, The Law of Inheritance provides a comprehensive overview of the science of breeding and inheritance, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

It is now nearly three years since I made my first attempt to write a work on the breeding of domestic animals. I had collected a considerable mass of information, chiefly so-called facts, and it seemed an easy matter to bring these into shape for the illustration of principles which could be enunciated as laws. I soon, however, realized the difficulty of using this material to produce an harmonious result, as the grouping was not only arbitrary, but the laws which they were intended to illustrate were but empirical formulae, whose mutual connections could not be shown. I therefore determined to seek, through further study, a solution for my difficulties; and I may here say that my realization of the importance of force as fashioning the phenomena of vitality came entirely from a series of inductions. The facts were grouped under laws which seemed to formulate the conditions under which they occurred, and these laws, in turn considered as unities, pointed unmistakably to a superior law, which in its turn influenced their occurrence, the law of persistence of force. This brief paper is not presented in order to prove a theory, but as an outgrowth arising from the supposed recognition of a cause.
