Dear Mr. Tredoux : I am now through p. 157 of the first volume of your bio of Galton, Francis Galton's Nature and Nurture: 1822-1865. I have never found a life more interesting than yours of Galton. Even though I had read all books and previous bios of Galton I found new material on every page.(i never know he played fives and could throw)

congrats Mr. Tredoux on the Homeric epic you wrote. I particularly admired the way you followed up every mention of people Galton met until 30 with their subsequent fate and fame.

I am sure Mr. Tredoux that many of my friends now departed (like Arthur Jensen) would have enjoyed and learned from your book as I did ( with many questions and follow up still to be.

Perhaps you will cover it later but I still have not seen the answer to why Galton did not have children. (was it the few moments of Pleasure that he experienced on his Islamid travels at age 25?)
