Insanity and genius seen to go hand

parents, and men of great ability and
geniuses have had parents or children
who were insane or criminal. Luthers
son was unruly and violent. The SON OF
Cicero was a drunkard. The son Of Mar
Gus Aurelius was cruel monster. If
we study the history of Peter the Great
or Of the Caesars we see a progressive de-
cline into crime and insanity, rather than
the increase of ability and genius.
