It has been my object in the present work to investigate the
problems of ethics in the light of an examination of the facts of
moral life. One reason for this procedure is my desire to conduct
the reader by the same path that I myself have followed in
approaching ethical questions.

Wilhelm Wundt is known today as one of the founding figures of
modern psychology. The first person to ever call himself a
Psychologist, he is also widely regarded as the "father of
experimental psychology", having established the first laboratory
in the world dedicated to psychological research. This paved the
way for psychology as an independent field of study. A prolific
writer, this title contains 30 lectures on human and animal
psychology given in the latter half of the nineteenth century. This
edition was originally published in 1912, a translation of the
second German edition, the earlier edition being the first of the
author's works to be translated into English.

rope it was mainly the states of the northern and centrat European
areas which succeeded in achieving the extermi nation or at least
the regression of brucellosis. (The origi nal plan to present the
conditions in Asia and Oceania, in cluding Australia, in maps as
weil, and thereby to achieve a comprehensive worldwide review of
the known and as certainable distribution of brucellosis, was not,
however, practicable. ) Information available from these parts of
the world, especially from Asia, is so fragmentary that the great
expense required for the compilation of the map did not seem
justified. On the other hand it seemed desirable to collate and
document these data which had been ac quired as a basis for future
research. It is tobe hoped that, at a later date, when more
comprehensive data become available, the Heidelberg Academy will be
able to decide to support a cartographic presentation of the
occurrence of brucellosis in these parts of the world as weil.
Last, but not least, the intensive research carried out by
bacteriologists had led to the discovery of new species of
Brucella, such as B. ovis, B. canis and B. neotomae. Further types
- such as Type 4 of B. suis which occurs in reindeer and caribou -
were identified. Though these new species and types, which are
undoubtedly to be classed with the brucellae, have achieved
regional significance in places, the three dassie species B.
melitensis, B. abortus and B."
AN INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY by WILHELM WUNDT. Originally
published in 1911. AUTHORS PREFACE: IT is not the intention of this
introduction to psychology to discuss the scientific or philo
sophical conceptions of psychology, or even to make a survey of the
investigations and their results. What this little book attempts is
rather to introduce the reader to the prin cipal thoughts
underlying present-day experi mental psychology, leaving out many
facts and methods which would be necessary for a thorough study of
the subject. To omit all mention of experimental methods and their
results is at the present day impossible. Yet we only need to
consider a comparatively small number of results of the first
importance in order to comprehend the basal principles of the new
psychology. To characterise the methods of this psychology it would
be im possible to omit all reference to experiments, but we can and
will omit reference to the more or less complicated instruments on
which the carrying out of such experiments depends. I must refer
the reader who wishes a fuller account of the new psychology to my
Outlines of Psychology, which also contains the necessary
bibliography of the subject. W. WUNDT. LEIPBIC, June 1911.
TRANSLATORS NOTE: THE present volume is a popular introduction to
the Wundtian psychology. It is a shorter and simpler sketch than
the same authors Outlines of Psychology, and it should prove
invaluable to the English-speaking student who wishes to gain some
conception of the subject before entering upon a deeper study of
the same. Its popularity in Germany has been phenomenal. In
translating the work the translator has, as far as possible, used
the same English terms as those employedin the translations of
Wundt by Judd and Titchener. He is greatly indebted to Mr. Robert
Wilson, M. A., B. Sc., for his advice and help in reading over the
manuscript before going to press. RUDOLF PINTNEB. EDINBURGH, May

The sacrificial meal... has assumed the most varied forms, largely
as a result of the secularisation of its ends. We have it, e.g., in
the 'celebration' dinner held in joyful remembrance of important
family occurrences, or of important public events. We have it,
again, in a form peculiar to modern civilization, in the public
banquet, where it serves as the material basis for the prosecution
of municipal, political or professional interests. -from "The
Individual Forms of Life: Food" One of the founding fathers of the
modern-day disciplines of experimental and cognitive psychology,
Wilhelm Wundt, in this extraordinary work, examines the concept of
ethics as a cornerstone of metaphysics, as the basis for an
understanding of the universe as a whole. Translated from the
second German edition of 1892, here we see all aspects of human
behavior and culture-from how we eat to how, and who, we worship-as
an interconnected whole, including: . "good" and "bad" . the
immoral elements of myth . the gods as moral ideals . the
anthropomorphic nature-myth . moral laws as religious commands .
the relation of custom to law and morality . polite manners and
personal deportment . the family and the tribal union . the feeling
of community in nation and state . the invention of tools . the
idea of civilization . and much more. OF INTEREST TO: students of
psychology, readers of comparative mythology AUTHOR BIO: German
psychologist WILHELM MAXIMILIAN WUNDT (1832-1920) was professor of
philosophy at the University of Leipzig. He wrote numerous articles
and books in the field of psychology, including the foundational
Principles of Physiological Psychology (1874).
