Excerpt from Æsthetic Principles

If this book meet the eye of some scientific psychologist, I must beg him to remember that it is written for less critical readers, and that I have at times, in the interests of clear ness, abandoned the strictest accuracy in ver bal expression where this accuracy would have involved too technical a phraseology. I must beg him to judge me rather by my larger work.

The reader who is not a psychologist may find the second chapter tedious, if so, it may be passed over without loss of the drift of the argument so far as it relates to aesthetic problems, still, I hope he will not pass it over without a trial.
