- Summary:
- While not intended as a complete history, it is hoped that the volume will serve to point out and describe the milestones in the progress of the mental sciences, in sequence. Wherever the topic lent itself to direct quotation from an author, significant passages were reproduced, so that this work is in part an anthology. In the majority of cases, primary sources were consulted, resulting in protracted labors over years. It was my purpose especially to bring out some little-known facts in the course of the development of both psychology and psychiatry.
