Excerpt from Handbook of Psychology, Senses and Intellect I may take this occasion also to correct another mis apprehension, which has been so frequent among kindly reviewers as to be of some importance to myself person ally; i.s. The philosophical point of departure from which the book is written. As far as I am aware I have written from a neutral point of view. Indeed the object of the book is largely to demonstrate the independence of psy chology as a science. Consequently, while in no sense asserting any other allegiance, I must still strongly dis claim having made a declaration of discipleship in the acknowledgments made to former instructors in my first preface. As far as there are philosophical implications from my discussions themselves, they are my own and I am quite ready to claim them; but they should not be supplied by inference from expressions in a preface written for quite another purpose, as is the case espe cially with my reviewer in Mind, Jan. 1890. I could not wish a more adequate and sympathetic understanding of the scope and purpose of my work than that which is expressed by Prof. Bodier in the Revue Philosophique, Mar. 1890.
