Abstract
THE first part of this volume, constituting more than two-thirds of the work, is a somewhat condensed and slightly modified reprint of the author's volume on “The Emotions,” issued some seven years ago by the same publishers. It would, we think, have been well to have stated this fact. As it stands, there is nothing to show that this volume is not wholly new. It does not appear that the author's views, or the manner of their presentation, have undergone any material change.
