Shall he speak to a relatively small group whom he can assume is familiar with the procedure in question and knows the grammar of the scientific language which is spoken, or shall he aim at a far wider audience by attempting to educate them in the first half of the book to a point where they can be specialists in the second? The consideration of problems involving the use of the Rorschach method of personality diagnosis presents just such a dilemma. It is a specialized technique which must be mastered before its results are properly understood and before modification of its original methodology can be appreciated"--Introduction.

He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Along with the Thematic Apperception and the Szondi tests, it is among the most widely used tools in clinical psychiatry, where it contributes to the understanding of personality patterns and to the evaluation of degrees of mental disorder. This book written by Dr. Zygmunt A. Piotrowski, who is an outstanding pioneer worker in the field of perceptanalysis, having spent twenty-two years of active research endeavor to elucidate the various problems. The material is well organized and lucidly presented in a way to enable the student as well as the more mature clinicians to understand many details not available previously in Rorschach publications. In fact, we have here the most complete book yet written on perceptanalysis as a science. The text explains in a concrete, step-by-step fashion the process of the examination in terms of the administration of the test; the basic principles of scoring, which are so fundamentally important; the determinant components of form, human movement, nonhuman-movement, color, and shading responses; and the meaning of the content.
