- Summary:
- "There are few people who cannot relate some apparently striking instance of animal intelligence; the majority of such cases, however, will not stand critical examination. The science which has for its object the systematic investigation of the brute mind is Animal Psychology, and it would seem that the methods of this youthful discipline are still unknown to many, even among those who profess an interest in animal conduct. It is, then, with the purpose of presenting a brief account of the modes of procedure employed by Animal Psychology, its aims, trend, and the general nature of the results hitherto obtained, that this book has been written"--Preface.
