Abstract
THE various papers collected in this report have a high intrinsic value, but the greatest interest of such a collection is to be obtained by comparing the different points of view rather than by studying the individual contributions. The discerning reader can thus obtain a trustworthy insight into the recent progress of psychology, a knowledge of its present position, and even perhaps a prognostication of its future development. The collection is representative of modern psychological thought, containing, as it does, papers from most of the leading British psychologists and from many eminent foreigners. The editorial succeeds in emphasising the cordial international relationships which were so evident to all who attended the congress, but it seems unfortunate that no allowance was made for British linguistic ignorance by adding an English summary of the foreign papers.
VIIth International Congress of Psychology, held at Oxford from July 26 to August 2, 1923, under the Presidency of Charles S. Myers.
Proceedings and Papers, edited by the President. Pp. xxv + 388. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1924.) 12s. 6d. net.
