Among the recent works which support the thesis of the exclusive or predominant influence of race, I must mention LE BON, Les lois psychologiques de l'évolution des peuples, Paris, 1894. This work is, however, very superficial. I refer the reader for a more thorough examination of these two theses to Chap. IV of my book Omicidio nell' anthropologia criminale, Turin, 1894.

ENRICO FERRI, Omicidio nell' antropologia criminale, Introduction, Turin, 1894. The third and last part of the argument of Haeckel is correct if applied solely to the purely biological and Darwinian domain, but its starting point is false if it is intended to apply it to the social domain and to turn it into an objection against socialism.

In my opinion a more wide-spread instruction in the natural sciences together with their substitution for the classics would do more than any repressive laws to suppress the outrages of anarchy. HAMON, Les Hommes et les théories de l'anarchie, Paris, 1893. LOMBROSO, Ultime scoperte ed applicazioni dell' antropologia criminale, Turin, 1893.

As regards the pretended influence of religion on personal morality I have shown how very slight a foundation there was for this opinion in my studies on criminal psychology, and more particularly in Omicidio nell' antropologia criminale.
