This book is a sign of its times. Each one of the chapters - papers
written by European authors of various backgrounds- illustrates a
departure from the style of theorizing that has been prominent in
the behavioral and social sciences for most of the century. Until
very recently, models for behavioral phenomena were chi~fly based
on numerical representations of the objects of concern, e. g. the
subjects and the stimuli under study. This was due in large part to
the influence of nineteenth century physics, which played the role
of the successful older sister, the one that had to be imitated if
one wished to be taken seriously in scientific circles. The
mystical belief that there could be science only when the objects
of concern were susceptible of measurement in the sense of physics
was a credo that could not be violated without risks. Another, more
honor able justification was that the numerical models were the
only ones capable of feasible calculations. (In fact, these models
were typically linear. ) An early example of such theorizing in
psychology is factor analysis, which attempted to represent the
results of mental tests in a real vector space of small dimen
sionality, each subject being represented by a point in that space.
A dimension WaGBP interpreted as a scale measuring some mental
ability. The analysis was simple, and only required an electrical
desk calculator (with spinning wheels), and a suitable amount of
determination.
Das vorliegende Buch bringt eine Darstellung der Lehre von der
Thrombose, wie ich sie mir in mehr als 20jahriger Bearbeitung
dieses Gebietes der allgemeinen Pathologie gebildet habe. Wie jede
wissen schaftliche Arbeit beruht sie auf der Verfolgung des
Schrifttums, dessen Ergebnisse gesichtet und mit eigenen Versuchen
und Erfahrungen ver glichen wurden. Es sollte jedoch kein
Sammelreferat gegeben, sondern die seI bstge bildete Auffassung in
den Vordergrund gestellt werden. Daher wurde das Schrifttum nur
soweit angefuhrt, als unmittelbar auf eine Arbeit oder eine Ansicht
Bezug genommen wurde. Es soll damit nicht der Wert anderer Arbeiten
herabgesetzt werden, die nicht nahere Erwahnung fanden, und nicht
gesagt sein, dass die von mir ver tretenen Auffassungen nicht schon
Vorganger und Parallelen gehabt haben. Auch die Kritik solcher
Auffassungen, denen ich nicht beistimmen konnte, vermochte ich nur
mit Beschrankung aufzunehmen. So moge man den Versuch erkennen, aus
der unubersehbaren Fulle von Arbeiten den Kern herauszuschalen und
mit eigenen Ergebnissen zu einem einheitlichen Bilde von einem
bedeutungsvollen pathologischen Vorgang zu gestalten. Tubingen, im
Oktober 1981. A. DmTRH'H. Inhaltsverzeichnis."

RECOLLECTIONS OF JOHANNES BRAHMS RECOLLECTIONS OF JOHANNES BRAHMS
BY ALBERT DIETRICH AND J. V. WIDMANN Translated by DORA E. HECHT
NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNERS SONS IS3-I57 FIFTH AVENUE 1899
TRANSLATORS PREFACE IT is now more than two years since the world
was made the poorer by the death of that great musician, Johannes
Brahms, and as yet nothing in the form of a biography has been
published in England. This fact, together with the know ledge that
nowhere has Brahms, the composer, more ardent admirers than in
England, has encouraged the translator to venture to offer to the
English public these two series of 1 Recollections which are the
nearest approach to a biography as yet in existence. Professor
Dietrich, as a member of the group of young musicians who gathered
round Schumann at Dusseldorf, was on most intimate terms with
Brahms during the years immediately following the latters
introduction to the public. The letters carry us, with some
regularity, from the vi TRANS LA TORS PREFA CJS year 1853 up to
1874 whereas Dr J. V. Widmann, an eminent Swiss litterateur, is en
abled to give us some details of the later years of the musicians
life 1886-97. Thus it will be seen that these two little works in
nowise encroach upon one another on the contrary, the one seems to
continue and complete the other. As these c Recollections have
found great favour with the German-speaking lovers of Brahms, the
translator trusts that, in spite of the disadvantages of
translation, the book will give pleasure to the English admirers of
the great composer. D. E. H. November 1899. CONTENTS ALBERT

BRAHMS BY ALBERT DIETRICH CHAPTER I BRAHMS AND SCHUMANN IN the
autumn of 1851, having then attained my twenty-second year, I went
to live at Dusseldorf in order to be near Schumann, for whom I had
the deepest veneration. He and his wife received me with . great
kindness, and soon became a daily visitor at their house. Warm
sympathy with the aspirations of young musicians was a leading
feature in Schumanns character, and this explains the enthusiasm
with which, in 1853, he welcomed young Brahms to Dusseldorf.
Joachim had recommended him most warmly, and had also drawn
Schumanns attention to the works of the young genius. Soon after
Brahmss arrival, in September of the same year, Schumann came up to
me at a A 2 BRAHMS AND SCHUMANN practice of our choral society with
an air of mystery, and with a happy smile said, One has come of
whom we shall all hear great things, his name is Johannes Brahms l
And then he led him up to me. The appear ance, as original as
interesting, of the youthful, almost boyish-looking musician, with
his high pitched voice and long, fair hair, made a most attractive
impression upon me. I was particularly struck by the characteristic
energy of the mouth, and the serious depths in his blue eyes.
Brahms then twenty years of age was soon at home in Dusseldorf
circles, especially amongst the artists and their families, and he
was a frequent guest at the houses of Sohn, Lessing, Gude and
Schirmer, 2 and also of the blind Fraulein Leser, an intimate
friend of theSchumanns, at whose house many musical gatherings took
place. His modest and winning manner soon gained all hearts. I have
a particularly lively recollection of one evening-party which took
place, soon after Brahmss arrival, at the house of the hospitable
and music-loving family Euler. Brahms was asked to play, and
executed Bachs Toccata in F major, and his own Scherzo in E flat
minor with wonderful power and mastery 1 Neue Bahnen An
