Excerpt from Elements of Psychology
In the preparation of these notes the author has kept before him self three or four distinct aims. He has felt the need of a brief text book, for the sake of the student, and as inviting to fuller discussion in the class-room than is possible with a larger book.
He has borne in mind that the general student will not pursue this study beyond the course compelled by the college curriculum, and has therefore deemed it necessary to state, for such, certain philosophical implications of psychological teaching.
He has Wished to encourage independent reading on the part of the student. The references are accordingly made to the general works Within reach of the college student. They are but suggestions. The class-room furnishes abundant opportunity for their amplification.
It seems important that the beginner should have some definite center from Which to reach out. And the book therefore aims to make brief statements, in positive form, of the positions that seem to the author justified by the facts.
