Abstract
MR. LYNCH some years ago published a book in two volumes entitled “Psychology: a New System.” Whether, like a famous work of a famous predecessor—the Scots philosopher Hume—his book fell still-born from the press, or whether for other more personal reasons, he has decided to recast it. He now presents it in one volume and describes it as the foundation work of the Alétheian system of philosophy. (Why the first e in the word is given the French acute accent we do not know.) The choice of the name seems to imply a slight on other systems, but probably nothing of the kind is intended, and it is only an expression of the author's boisterous confidence in his own powers.
