Abstract
THE topics dealt with in this volume lend themselves to lengthy and detailed discussion in separate essays, and adequate criticism would necessitate a study of each article in detail. In that case criticism would probably become controversy, since the writers are mostly concerned with highly theoretical issues. Let us say at once that it maintains the high standards of its predecessors alike in the style and quality of its contents and in the excellence of its production. Though the whole work has now grown to dimensions which cause the eyes of busy readers to turn affectionately to its two-volume predecessor, we hope that the remaining volumes will not be too long delayed by the War. Furthermore, it is surely in order to salute our French colleagues and to tender our sympathy and good wishes. The volume under review is a reminder of how much we owe to French psychologists; probably it could have been produced in no other country. But let one of the volumes be an adequate index to the whole.
