Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Physiological: Psychology, a Text-Book of Mental Science
IN the early part of 1887 I published the results of sev eral years of research, in a book entitled Elements of Physiological Psychology. The very gratifying reception almost immediately given to this work showed an extended and profound interest in the experimental and physiological study of mental phenomena. The signs of this interest have continued unabated until the present time; and the book has been widely adopted, both in this country and abroad, for private reading and for the instruction of classes.
Although the Elements, etc. Did not enter into the detailed history of discoveries and discussion of theories in the field of physiological psychology, it was necessarily somewhat voluminous and technical. For it aimed to give a summary of the entire field and thus to render accessible the data and conclusions to be found, separated, only in scores or hundreds Of larger and smaller monographs.
