Reading edition

That standards of beauty depend upon racial difference is urged by Westermarck, chap. xii, especially 273 ff., against Darwin, op. cit., chap. xx, 595-99, who holds that racial differences are due to different standards of beauty. On female beauty and ideals of beauty among all races see Ploss's full and interesting discussion: Das Weib, I, 59-124.
