Abstract
(1) ELEVEN years ago Dr. William Brown published as a thesis for his doctorate a suggestive and original monograph on the use of the theory of correlation in psychology. Later, by adding one or two chapters of introduction and two or three others on the so-called psychophysical methods, he expanded this monograph into a compact manual entitled “The Essentials of Mental Measurement.” Now, in turn, after another and a longer interval, the manual itself has developed into a guinea royal-octavo volume, extensively enlarged and exhaustively revised.
