Abstract
PROF. WUNDT has been a voluminous writer on psychological and philosophical subjects, and has had a profound effect in Germany and to a large extent also in the United States of America, but of the real value of his psychological investigations this is not the occasion to form an estimate. The “Elemente der Völkerpsychologie” (1912), of which the book under notice is a translation, breaks new ground, and we have to thank Prof. E. L. Schaub for rendering it available to the English-speaking public.
Elements of Folk Psychology: Outlines of a Psychological History of the Development of Mankind.
By Wilhelm Wundt. Authorised translation by Prof. E. L. Schaub. Pp. xxiii + 532, (London: George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 1917.) Price 15s. net.
