AN INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY BY WILHELM WUNDT PROFESSOR OF
PHILOSOPHY IN THE UNIVERSITY OP IHPSZO TRANSLATED FROM THE SECOND

LONDON GEORGE ALLEN UNWIN, LTD. RUSKIN HOUSE, 40 MUSEUM ST. W. C. i
Reprinted Reprinted in Saxony by the Rodar Process from a copy
printed At the BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH AUTHORS PREFACE IT is
not the intention of this introduction to psychology to discuss the
scientific or philo sophical conceptions of psychology, or even to
make a survey of the investigations and their results. What this
little book attempts is rather to introduce the reader to the prin
cipal thoughts underlying present-day experi mental psychology,
leaving out many facts and methods which would be necessary for a
thorough study of the subject. To omit all mention of experimental
methods and their results is at the present day impossible. Yet we
only need to consider a comparatively small number of results of
the first importance in order to comprehend the basal principles of
the new psychology. To characterise the methods of this psychology
it would be im possible to omit all reference to experiments, but
we can and will omit reference to the vi AUTHORS PREFACE more or
less complicated instruments on which the carrying out of such
experiments depends. I must refer the reader who wishes a fuller
account of the new psychology to my Outlines of Psychology, which
also contains the necessary bibliography of the subject. W. WUNDT.
LEIPBIC, June 1911. TRANSLATORS NOTE THE present volume is a
popular introduction to the Wundtian psychology. It is a shorter
and simpler sketchthan the same authors Outlines of Psychology, and
it should prove invaluable to the English-speaking student who
wishes to gain some conception of the subject before entering upon
a deeper study of the same. Its popularity in Germany has been
phenomenal. In translating the work the translator has, as far as
possible, used the same English terms as those employed in the
translations of Wundt by Judd and Titchener. He is greatly indebted
to Mr. Robert Wilson, M. A., B. Sc., for his advice and help in
reading over the manuscript before going to press. RUDOLF PINTNEB.
