Excerpt from Mental Science: A d104-Book for Schools and Colleges Finally, the adaptation of the work for use in our higher educational institutions, has been a constant aim with the author. In furtherance of this end, he has distinguished separate dissertations by the numbering of sections, has indicated specific topics by side-headings, and has employed many logical divisions and defini tions. The advocacy of new opinions renders the book larger than would be needful, if it were merely the digest of a finished science; yet the study of the whole volume is recommended in all cases in which this may be found practicable. At the same time, certain discus sions, concerning matters which are not essential to a fair knowledge of psychology, and which are not com mouly considered in text-books, may properly be passed over by those who do not wish to make a speciality of metaphysics.
