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.

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.

THE LAST YEARS .... 183 RECOLLECTIONS OF JOHANNES 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 enthusiastic essay about Brahms by Robert Schumann in the Neve Zeitschrift fur Musik...
