520 |a "It is almost thirty years since the first edition of the present work (now in its 9th edition) was published. The surprising endurance and indeed expansion of the demand for such a book seem to prove the existence of a very extensive and still increasing interest among English-speaking peoples in a system of philosophy, which did not enjoy much consideration or popularity in these countries when the book first appeared. This assuredly is encouraging for those who believe in the worth and vitality of that philosophy. The chief alterations wrought in the work during the interval were in the fourth edition, which was virtually re-written; though subsequent emendations have collectively reached a not inconsiderable amount. It used to be a standing charge against scholastic psychology that in the discussion of all problems it invariably assumed the standpoint of the adult mind, and so ignored the derivative and complex character of many operations. To obviate this objection I devoted special pains to the treatment of the growth and development of the various mental aptitudes. It has accordingly been a source of satisfaction to find that my efforts in this direction have met with some success. Among the amendments embodied in the present edition is an additional Supplement, containing a list of articles on psychological topics, which I have contributed to the Catholic Encyclopædia, It may be of convenience to any reader desirous of seeing a fuller discussion of matters briefly handled here. As the influence of some writers has diminished since the earlier editions, I considered the advisability of omitting the treatment of their views in the present volume, but decided that as the criticism of their principles applies to the teaching of other disciples of the same schools, the sections may usefully remain. As the scope of the work was described in the preface to the fourth edition, that is here reprinted in an abridged form"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
