Abstract
(1) PSYCHOLOGISTS have been slow to meet the popular demand for a science of character. Uncler the name ethology, it was planned by John Stuart Mill. But Mill failed to accomplish his plan. The ‘laws of psychology,’ upon which he proposed to base his new science, were, in his day, inadequate and unsuitable for the task. In Mr. Shand's eagerly awaited book the attempt has been renewed. Will the new attempt meet with a greater success?
