Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. An Introduction to Experimental Psychology by Charles S. Myers was first published in 1911 and reissued as this third edition in 1914. The volume discusses the typical research themes and methods of observation in experimental psychology at the time of publication.

First published in 1940, this book was written by Charles S. Myers, who was Consulting Psychologist to the British Armies in France and the First World War. Based on a war diary, it explains the work he did in France and England for shell shock and shell concussion cases, and, as he writes, may well serve 'to re-enlighten the general public as to the nature of shell shock, and to convince them how dependent it is on previous history and inherited predisposition, on inadequate examination and selection of soldiers for the front line, on lack of proper discipline and esprit de corps; and how necessary it may be to adopt apparently harsh measures in order to diminish the undoubted contagiousness of the complaint.'

Myers WITH the exception of one chapter, which was most kindly supplied at relatively shortnotice by Dr. Drever, this book has been written by members or ex-members of the staff of the National Institute of Industrial Psychology. As its Director I was asked in 1928 to contribute an introduction to their work. But I could wish that my relations with the authors were not so close, as I could then commend the book without fear of being swayed by prejudice or partiality. I can say honestly, however, that I know of no other similar volume in which the principles and methods of Industrial Psychology are sketched in such clear and readable language. It easily surpasses an early attempt Mind and Work, 1921 which I made when the subject was still, so to speak, in its swaddling-clothes, to present a popular exposition of it. And it is far less tech nical and more attractive than my second effort Industrial Psychology in Great Britain, 1925, 8 INDUSTRIAL PSYCHOLOGY which, however, may prove useful to readers of this volume who desire further details in regard to certain chapters. But this greater interest of the present volume is only natural. For it has been written not by one who has had to occupy himself largely with administrative work, but by a band of able young investigators who have spent several years in uninterrupted, immediate contact with employees and management in factories, mills, mines and offices. It is the fruit of their first hand experience, supplemented by the more specialized research work of the Institute and particularly of the Industrial Fatigue now Industrial Health Research Board. Although this book itself provides detailed answers to the two questions what is Industrial Psychology and why has it met with such success in this country I should like to attempthere a more general and briefer reply to them. Industrial Psychology is the most recent application of the youngest of the Natural Sciences. Psychology, the science of the mind, has emancipated itself completely from the lead ing-strings of Philosophy by which it was first nurtured...
