Le Bon's superb and innovative study of crowd psychology is
published here without abridgment. First appearing in the 1890s,
Gustav Le Bon's account of the crowd is an important work of early
psychology. In life, Le Bon was famous for mastering aspects of
several scientific disciplines, forging progress in each. This is
true with his investigations on crowd psychology compiled in this
book. Le Bon first examines the mental characteristics of all
crowds. Whether they possess moral constraints, can adopt ideas or
reason out circumstances, or carry a religious undercurrent is
investigated. The second part investigates the various beliefs and
sentiments which can develop within a crowd. What opinions a crowd
may form about aspects remote to it, and close to it, are
discussed. All are impeccably and comprehensively categorized by Le
Bon, who turns to each in detail. The book's final stages classify
various different crowds. He discusses types of crowd defined as
criminal - such as rioters and looters.
