Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to Psychology
The text-book, however, is a necessary yet a subsidiary adjunct to the study of any science. It is useful only as it stimulates, directs, verifies and supplements the indi vidual observation of the reader. This book has been written, accordingly, with the constant purpose of leading students to the independent and careful study of their own consciousness. It is highly desirable that such intro spective study should be supplemented by experiments. Performed by the student under direction, and that this experimental introspection should precede, instead of fol lowing, the study of every division of the text. Detailed references are given, at appropriate points, to the two English manuals of experimental psychology.
The general reader who may open this volume should be warned against certain technical chapters. He will do well to skim Part I., omitting entirely Chapters VII. And VIII.; and he should especially devote himself to Part II., from which, however, he may drop out Chapters XIII XVIII., and XIX.
