Excerpt from Studies in the Psychology of Art, Vol. 2 Two years ago the University of Iowa Studies in Psychology included an integrated volume of psychological investigations envisaging the field of plastic and graphic arts. The present volume gives continuity to the progressive researches in that division of research. The test of any new endeavor in psychology is its productivity on a high qualitative plane; Certainly by this criterion Professor Norman C. Meier, who has directed all of these studies, deserves a great measure of credit. By instilling enthusiasm in his gradu ate students, by planning and articulating the relatively inde pendent investigations in a program of research extended over the years, and by circumspectly regarding the major problems from a scientific angle in a territory that is full of romanticism and humanistic evaluations, he has established his reputation as a critical psychologist who is also sympathetically versed in the plastic and graphic arts. It is a difficult task to apply qualitative distinctions and quantitative scores to a region that naturally resists the refinements of' science. The reader will therefore notice that the attitude of these published researches is not to wipe away aesthetic appreciation and artistic creation, but to under stand them better from the scientific angle and to learn their intricacies within the limits of scientific possibility.

Excerpt from Harvard Psychological Studies, Vol. 2 The work to be reported in future in the Harvard Psychological Studies will be work done in this new building, and while the re searches reported in the following pages were completed in the smaller quarters of the old laboratory, it seems natural that this volume, which appears at this new epoch Of our work, should give an account both Of our psychological past and Of the development and purpose Of Emerson Hall. The Harvard Psychological Laboratory was founded in 1891 by Professor William James, who had introduced some experimental features into his psychological lecture courses for some time before the formal Opening Of a regular workshop. Professor James started with two large rooms on the second floor Of Dane Hall, and secured an excellent equipment, especially for the study of the psychology Of the senses. He was assisted by Dr. Herbert Nichols, amd'at once gathered a number Of graduate students for research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A History of Psychology, Vol. 2: Medieval and Early Modern Period In view of some criticisms passed upon the former volume, some further remarks may be pardoned. A history of a science is a unique species of history. For the content of the science the student may go to the last textbook, where he may learn the established truths without any reference to their genesis or to the men who established them. For those who require no more a history is super fluous: it can add nothing to that knowledge and may be wholly disregarded. But there is another and a different object for which it has a specific function. If the student is not to be left with the idea that knowledge is a fixed quantity of indisputable facts, if on the contrary he is to acquire a real understanding of the process by which know ledge is continually made and remade, he must learn to look at the movement of ideas without prejudice as a separate fact with its own significance and its own meaning for humanity. To despise forgotten theories because they no longer hold good, and refuse on that account to look backward, is in the end to forget that man's highest ambition is to make progress possible, to make the truth of to-day into the error of yesterday - in short, to make history.
