| Summary: | "In this new edition I have endeavoured to make the Outlines of Psychology a more complete introduction to the science. While thus considering the needs of the general student, I have, in this American edition, borne in mind the special requirements of that large class of readers of my works in America who desire to have pointed out the connections between psychology and education. Accordingly, although in view of the publication, since the first appearance of this work, of a volume specially designed for teachers (The Teacher's Handbook of Psychology), I have been able in this new edition to reduce the sections dealing with the applications of principles to educational methods, I have thought it desirable to retain these sections in a condensed form. They need not, I think, be an obstacle to the general student, who is not particularly interested in education; yet they are, I trust, sufficient to suggest to the teacher lines of application, and to retain for the work something of that practical character which, I have reason to believe, has recommended it to my friendly American readers"--Preface.
