Excerpt: "The subject dealt with in this book is one of great, and one
may say growing, importance. Whether it is that the present period is
one of large increase in the numbers of men and women of an
intermediate or mixed temperament, or whether it merely is that it is
a period in which more than usual attention happens to be accorded to
them, the fact certainly remains that the subject has great actuality
and is pressing upon us from all sides. It is recognised that anyhow
the number of persons occupying an intermediate position between the
two sexes is very great, that they play a considerable part in general
society, and that they necessarily present and embody many problems
which, both for their own sakes and that of society, demand solution.
The literature of the question has in consequence already grown to be
very extensive, especially on the Continent, and includes a great
quantity of scientific works, medical treatises, literary essays,
romances, historical novels, poetry, etc. And it is now generally
admitted that some knowledge and enlightened understanding of the
subject is greatly needed for the use of certain classes—as, for
instance, medical men, teachers, parents, magistrates, judges, and the
like."
