Abstract
IF evidence be required as to the threadbare condition of the old gibe at psychology as a statement of obvious facts in unintelligible language, we have it in abundance in these books by Col. Myers and Dr. MacCurdy. For, while the clarity of the authors' expression is obviously the natural outcome of a firm grasp of their subjects, the facts which they present are probably far from obvious to the mind which is not conversant with the rapid progress of present-day psychology. Moreover, these unobvious facts are not mere freakish curiosities, but important strands in the material of our social life.
