The Medical U w Influence of Heredity On Ttnnyion I recently rend thu Inter esting Klury u( tliu 111 health of Alfred l.iird Tennyson, who throughout his long life kept going Into do- prcnitliinn. Hi' was thofiiurtli of 12 chil dren, liln fiith or, n scholarly I) ii t lompcrn- mental minis ter, suffo red from mood of deep depression. In them ho would hike to drink, mid would become violent. In school, Alfred mid his two older brother were hrlllhinl. All three could write good poetry. One of Ihein, Charles, lieciiine nddlcted to opium.

They re mained perfectly sane.

The psychiatrist's con viction that the parents had planned to ruin this child did not seem logical to me. It seemed entirely dlsproven when, later, two more of the children cracked up mentally.
