The Physiology Of Mind Being The First Part Of A Third Edition Revised Enlarged And In Great Part Rewritten Of The Physiology And Pathology Of Mind PDF Download

Excerpt from The Physiology of Mind: Being the First Part of a Third Edition, Revised, Enlarged, and in Great Part Rewritten, of "the Physiology and Pathology of Mind" The first edition of my work on the Physiology and Pathology of Mind was published in the year 1867. A second edition appeared in the following year, which was in due time exhausted, and the book has been out of print for some years. The delay in the publication of a third edition has been owing mainly to the occupations of active professional life, which have hindered the bestowal of the systematic work of revision and enlargement made necessary by the progress of physiological and psychological knowledge; but partly also to a lack of enthusiasm in the labour, arising from a conviction that what was of value in the book had either been said already, or would anyhow very soon be said, by some one else. The current of psychological thought having set so strongly in physiological channels, it is pretty certain that the reflections which one person has had, however original they may seem to him, some other person has had, has now, or will very soon have.
