Excerpt from The Teacher's Handbook of Psychology IN the present edition the Handbook has been revised throughout, and to a large extent re-written. It is now between one-sixth and one-fifth larger than it was in the fourth edition. The additions include some chapters which are wholly new, namely, i., xv., xvi., xvii. And xx. Other chapters - more particularly, iv., vi., vii., viii., ix., x., xii., xiii., xiv., xviii. And xix. - have undergone so much alteration as to be largely new. In making these changes I have sought, while keeping to the original form and mode of treatment of the book, as well as to its original intention - as an introduction to psychology - to make it more adequately representative of the present state of psychology and of educational thought. As a result of the changes the work will be found somewhat more advanced in parts. Any difficulties thus introduced, however, may be considerably lessened by a study of the book under the guidance of a competent lecturer, who may probably advise the student to omit certain portions on a first reading: e.g., on the theory of Development, and on Perception. In this way, I trust, a work which has so long kept its place in the department of educational psychology may continue to be a useful introduction to the subject - primarily for teachers, and secondarily for others who in the past have found it serviceable.
