Excerpt from On Means for the Prolongation of Life
The Fifth Edition of my father's book was already set up in type at the time of his death (November 11, 1918); as editor I have really had practically no more to do than correct the proofs. Sir Clifford Allbutt, an old friend of my father, kindly undertook to write the preface. All that my father left in that regard was the following note: "It may perhaps seem to many that I have dwelled too long on the various forms of exercise, and also on the psychic and moral elements in their connection with health and longevity, but I hope to be pardoned on account of the great importance of the subjects."
