Transcriber's notes:

This text was produced using page images of the book available from the Internet Archive ( http://archive.org/details/parenthoodracec00sale ). Every effort has been made to convey accurately the original work.

Three typographical corrections have been made: in “millenium”, “symptons”, and “be becomes guided by”.

Quotation marks have been added to balance quotes when missing, and when supported by other sources; similarly with other cases of obviously missing punctuation.

Inconsistent hyphenation has been retained (e.g. “overcrowding” vs. “over-crowding”).

Italic text is surrounded by _underscores_.

Bold text is surrounded by =equal signs=.

Text in small capitals, such as quote attributions and the table of contents detail, has been rendered in regular case.

Index entries that use Roman numerals (referring to the Preface) have each had two pages added due to obvious errors in the original.

Footnotes have been numbered and collected at the end of the text but before the indices.
