Excerpt from The Elements of Psychology

In addition to the monographs which have been pour ing from the press for twenty years past, we have by this time, both in English and in German, a very large num ber of general text-books, some larger and some smaller, but all covering the ground in ways which, so far as stu dents go, are practical equivalents for each other. The main subdivisions, principles, and features of descriptive psychology are at present well made out, and writers are agreed about them. If one has read earlier books, one need not read the very newest one in order to catch up with the progress of the science. The differences in them are largely of order and emphasis, or of fondness on the authors' parts for certain phrases, or for their own modes of approach to particular questions. It is one and the same body of facts with which they all make us acquainted.
