Hereditary Genius
317
Thus, the families of Divines are only 25 in number, and in those 25
families there are 7 eminent fathers, 9 brothers, and 10 sons; now in
order to raise these numbers to percentages, 7, 9, and 10 must be
multiplied by the number of times that 25 goes into loo, namely by 4.
They will then become 28, 36, and 40, and will be found entered as
such, in column B, p. 275; the parent numbers 7, 9, 10, appearing in
the same table in the column A.
In the following table, the columns B of all the different groups are
printed side by side; I have, however, thrown Painters and Musicians
into a single group of Artists, because their numbers were too small
to make it worth
