Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines, Descriptive Psychology: A Text-Book of Mental Science, Colleges and Normal Schools
In the style of presenting the various subjects I have tried chie?y to secure clearness, conciseness, and order. These seem to me the more important qualities in such a text-book as this aims to be. But these qualities make it impossible to introduce lengthy stories or disquisitions aside, or other interesting illustrative material. The pupil, on his part, should begin the science, as he should begin every scientific study, with the determination to do honest and faithful work. This determination will soon secure a more intelligent and lasting interest in the sub ject than can otherwise be gained by any devices of the author, however skilful. But the teacher on his part is left free to supplement the text-book from his own re sources, and to stimulate the pupil to draw upon all his own experience for illustrative and life-giving details.
