Abstract

THE first two books of those mentioned above are by far the most important of the group. The new, largely re-written edition of (i) Ladd's “Physiological Psychology” will be welcomed by students of psychology. Nearly twenty-five years have passed since the first edition of the book, a period within which the then new branch of experimental psychology has forced its way to the front. Very considerable additions have been made to this book in the section on the physiology of the nervous system. It may be questioned whether such a full study of physiological processes is not better obtained, even by the student of psychology, directly from standard works on physiology. It has the advantage, however, of forming a selected introduction to the later parts of the work, in which the psychology of the senses obtains the fullest treatment.
