| Description | Letters to Galton on Holland's survey of 407 people, mostly born after 1700, to determine the influences that led to them becoming "good" or "bad" characters, and explaining his analytical method. The letters enclose two tables, the first dividing the surveyed group into "good", "bad" and "worst" types, and expressing facets of their background as percentages. The second table uses the same format, but focuses only on "people of ability", divided into "high", "ordinary", "high literary", and "high practical". |
