Abstract
FOR an author to have to ask for faith, tolerance, and patience is in itself a warning of trouble to come. To claim ignorance of psychology as a passport to success in writing about it even as an amateur is giving the show away. To say that every mother can claim to know more about the psychology of children than all the psychologists put together is decidedly unreasonable. The author's hypothesis of ‘mind in general,’ which he splits up into ‘mind-in-nature’ and the ‘mind of man,’ must surely be held to be not proven.
