, 1908. [121] _Verbrechen und Vergehen wider die Sittlichkeit. Entfuehrung. Gewerbsmaessige Unzucht_ (_Crimes and Misdemeanours against Morality. Abduction, Professional Unchastity_), p. 115. Reprint from the _Fergleichende Darstellung des Deutschen und Auslaendischen Strafrechts_ (_Comparative Statement of German and Foreign Criminal Law_). [122] _Das Geschlechtsleben in der Voelkerpsychologie_ (_The Sexual Life in Folk-Psychology_), p. 557, Leipzig, 1908. [123] Beraud, _Les Filles Publiques de Paris_, Paris, 1839. [124] For fuller details, see Mittelmaier, _op. cit._, p. 116. [125] "Ueber die klinisch-forensische Bedeutung des perversen Sexualtriebes" ("The Clinical and Legal Significance of Perversions of the Sexual Impulse") _Allgemeine Zeitschrift fuer Psychiatrie und psychisch-gerichtliche Medizin_, vol. xxxix, p. 220 _et seq._, Berlin, 1883. [126] See footnote to page 260. [127] Compare Havelock Ellis, _Studies in the Psychology of Sex_, vol. vi.; _Sex in Relation to Society_ (Philadelphia, 1910, p. 368); "But altogether outside theoretical morality, or the question of what people 'ought' to do, there remains _practical morality_, or the question of what, as a matter of fact, people actually do. This is the really fundamental and essential morality. Latin _mores_ and Greek [Greek: ethos] both refer to _custom_, to the things that are, and not to the things that 'ought to be.'" The etymological connexion, of which Dr. Moll speaks, between the words _morality_ (or _ethics_) and _custom_, thus subsists through the intermediation of the dead languages. But in German, the etymological connexion between _Sitte_ (custom) and _Sittlichkeit_ (morality) is immediately apparent.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE. [128] For details, see Rosenbaum, _Geschichte der Lustseuche_ (_History of Venereal Disease_), Halle, 1893, p. 52 _et seq._ [129] It is surprising that the author makes no reference to the close association, in many cases, of the sentiment of disgust with unpleasant smells. The earthworm, the cockroach, and the bed-bug are regarded as peculiarly disgusting, and all have a particularly offensive odour. The unpleasant smell of the alvine evacuations is assuredly a large element in the disgust these inspire.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE. [130] _Die seelische Entwicklung des Kindes_ (_The Mental Development of the Child_), 2nd ed., Leipzig, 1908, p. 90. [131] For fuller details, see the work of Rudeck, _Geschichte de
