Excerpt from James Hinton: A Sketch The name of James Hinton is unfamiliar to the generation of to-day. Yet he was a man of passionately Vivid and eager temperament, whose hands could not fail to leave the distinct impress of that temperament on any subject he touched. At the beginning of his career he wrote a book, Man and his Dwelling Place, which has little interest for us to-day, but made a considerable appeal to the thinkers of Hinton's own generation, later he wrote a popular yet highly original book of biological character, Life in Nature, which still seems to me the most satisfactory of his books, he further accomplished good work in the special field of surgical practice to which he devoted himself, and as an aurist achieved com plete professional success, finally, during the last years of his life, he became absorbed in social and moral problems, more especially those connected with sex, and accumulated vast piles of manuscript which he never worked up for publication.
