Excerpts: Man's interest in character is founded on an intensely
practical need. In whatsoever relationship we deal with our
fellows, we base our intercourse largely on our understanding of
their characters. The trader asks concerning his customer, "Is he
honest?" and the teacher asks about the pupil, "Is he earnest?" The
friend bases his friendship on his good opinion of his friend; the
foe seeks to know the weak points in the hated one's make-up; and
the maiden yearning for her lover whispers to, herself, "Is he
true?" Upon our success in reading the character of others, upon
our understanding of ourselves hangs a good deal of our life's
success or failure... CONTENTS INTRODUCTION I: THE ORGANIC BASIS OF
