Summary:

"The volume is not an abridgment or revision of the larger book Elements of physiological psychology, which is still to be preferred for mature students, but, like it, surveys the entire field, though with less details and references that might embarrass beginners. Briefer discussions of the nervous mechanism, and of the nature of the mind as related to the body will be found in the "Outlines"; while the treatment of relations existing between excited organs and mental phenomena offers much new material, especially on "Consciousness," "Memory," and "Will." The author aims to furnish a complete yet correct text-book for the brief study of mental phenomena, from the experimental and physiological point of view. Both pupil and teacher have been considered, that the book may be readily learned and successfully taught. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
