| Summary: | "The governing aim in the preparation of this work has been to furnish a suitable text-book for beginners in metaphysical studies. It has been written predominantly for use in the class-room; and is designed to serve as introductory both to the higher and more critical discussions of the phenomena of mind usually given in the lectures at colleges and universities and also to the study of the derived sciences of logic, ethics, and aesthetics. With these three sciences, which form what has been denominated by Sir William Hamilton Nomological Psychology, its subject matter makes up the entire circle of the mental sciences. This elementary work in mental science is contributed to our text-book literature, in the earnest hope that it may be found to be serviceable in some degree to the elevation of the study of mind to its true and proper rank in the circle of educational studies"--Preface.
