4to.; XVII-270 pp., con 8 láminas fotográficas de Gaspar Sagarra y Torrents. Encuadernación original en tela azul. Una abierta apología de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera y del bienestar de Cataluña y de Barcelona en particular, lugar de residencia a la sazón del autor, "especialista en eugenesia", la ciencia de moda de la época. En su juventud había escrito una curiosa utopía victoriana titulada "The Fate of the English Race. Being the Romance of a Monarchical Utopia", bajo el seudónimo de Charles Strongi'th'arm, y en años posteriores a esta su evidentemente agradabilísima estancia en España, publicaría libros como "Paradise Found, or Where the Sex Problem has been Solved", en 1936, en el que niega el derecho al voto a las mujeres, o el no menos interesante titulado "The Survival of the Unfittest", en el que debate sobre la excesiva prole de las madres de la clase obrera y caracteriza el socialismo como un movimiento contra natura. En 1933 planeó la fundación de la primera colonia eugenesica en Brasil.
