A curious turn-of-the-century study that traces intelligence and character through the royal houses of Europe, arguing that greatness and mediocrity ran in bloodlines. A relic of early hereditary thinking, it is both a history of dynasties and a window into how the Edwardian mind understood nature and nobility. Fascinating for students of ideas and monarchy.
