Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons in Psychology: Designed Especially for Private Students, and as a Text Book in Secondary Schools
Have no doubt that you believe that it is worth while for you to study a great many things which you do not expect to make any practical use of. You believe, for example, that it is a good thing to study algebra, and geom etry, although I imagine you do not expect to find any use for them in the business of life; you want to study them, not because you think the knowl edge of them is likely to be useful to you - unless you should be called upon to teach them - but be cause you think the study o.f them will develop your mind. Probably that is one of the reasons why you wish to study Psychology. And it certainly is a good reason for studying it. I know of no subject.
