James's Principles of Psychology. ADVANCED COURSE. 



By WILLIAM JAMES, Professor of Psychology in Harvard University. 

 Vol. I., xii+689 pp. Vol. II., vi + 704 pp. Svo. 



Treats psychology from the point of view of natural science,, 

 leaving strictly metaphysical questions in abeyance. The 

 works on psychology of the older school give little or no 

 account of the facts recently brought to light in the laboratory 

 Recent works on physiological psychology, on the other hand, 

 give an abundance of physical facts, but fail to trace much 

 connection between them and mental laws. In this book 

 experimental facts and theoretical inferences are treated of in 

 combination, so as to give to each of the successive topics a 

 rounded form, and to avoid pure anatomy and physiology on 

 the one hand, and on the other pure metaphysics. 



E. H. Griffin, JoJins Hopkins 

 University: An important con- 

 tribution to psychological science, 

 discussing its present aspects and 

 problems with admirable breadth, 

 insight, and independence. 



John Dewey, University of Mi- 

 chigan : A remarkable union of 

 wide learning, originality of treat- 



ing suggestions. To me the best 

 treatment of the whole matter of 

 advanced psychology in existence. 

 It does more to put psychology in 

 scientific position both as to the 

 statement of established results and 

 a stimulating to further problems 

 and their treatment, than any other 

 book of which I know.

This is not simply an abridgment of the "Principles of 

 Psychology." About two fifths of the book is either ruw or 

 rewritten. All the polemical and historical matter and purely 

 speculative passages of the larger work have been omitted. 

 Brief chapters on the various senses have been added. The 

 purpose has been to make the book directly available for 

 class-room use. 



H. N. Gardiner, Professor in 

 Smith College, Mass : It is within 

 the simple truth to say that a belter 

 text-book of psychology for college 

 use, one clearer, simpler, more 

 stimulating, does not exist. 



Williston Hough, Professor in 

 the University of Minnesota: 

 This is the bonk we have been 

 waiting for a competent, authori- 

 tative treatment of physiological 

 psychology which is suitable for 

 use as a text-book.
