Abstract
THE importance of a work bears little relation to its bulk, so no surprise need be felt at a masterly and very suggestive résumé of recent inquiries into a question of the highest interest being compressed into this thin volume of less than 160 pages of good readable type. The work itself is not new, though it is so in its present translated form. It is practically up to date, and affords an excellent study for those to whom what Tennyson calls “the abysmal deeps of Personality” are wholly mysterious, as well as to those others who have sounded them in part.
The Diseases of Personality.
