"The present work is a translation of Johann Friedrich Herbart's Lehrbuch zur Psychologie, from the second revised edition published in 1834--the date of the first edition being 1816. The fact that Herbart's philosophical writings have given a great impulse to scientific study and experiment in education is a sufficient reason for including this volume in the International Education Series. He succeeded Krug in 1809, and filled for a quarter of a century afterward the chair long occupied by the celebrated Kant at the University of Konigsberg, supplementing his philosophical labors by founding and directing a pedagogical seminary (or normal school, as we call it in the United States). It is interesting to note that Herbart's successor at Konigsberg was Karl Eosenkranz, also eminent in the philosophy of pedagogy. Although a German philosopher and occupying the chair of Kant, Herbart set out from an entirely different basis, and produced a system unlike those of the great geniuses who have made German philosophy for ever memorable. So unlike them, indeed, is his systern that one has great difficulty to trace their influence upon his thoughts. Strange to say, however, his system becomes fruitful in the following generation, in two directions: first, in the line of physiological psychology, especially in the attempt to reduce the facts of the mind to mathematical statements; and, secondly, in the line of the philosophy and art of education. A careful examination of the pedagogical writings of the followers of Herbart shows that the important thought which has become so fruitful is that of "apperception." This is specially named or referred to in ʹʹ 26, 40, 41, 43, 59, 123, 182, 183, and in many other places in the following work. It is, in fact, the central thought from which the author proceeds and to which he always returns"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).

The author has, at various institutes and other gatherings of teachers, delivered lectures on Psychology, chiefly on those phases that must and do come in for a large share of consideration on the part of every successful teacher. The speculative form which Psychology sometimes assumes found no place in those discussions, but only such features as are quite in touch with the ordinary experience of the average teacher in our common schools. The writer was surprised, and at the same time very much gratified, at the intense interest they evoked. At the solicitation of a large number of these same teachers, the lectures have accordingly been gathered together, and, with slight modifications and the advantage of much additional material, are now presented in book form. The aim of this book is to provide a practical resource for teachers. Its object is to create and develop tact on the part of the teacher, that he may be able to read the child's mind aright and thus be better qualified to minister to the wants of the growing child-nature as this unfolds itself day by day. The greatest pedagogical need of our times is child study, and if the author only quickens the interest of teachers in this line he shall be more than satisfied and fully repaid for every effort he has made.

This work does not profess to be a treatise on the subject of feeling, but merely a series of studies, and rather tentative ones at that. I have attempted to deduce from the standpoint of biologic evolution the origin and development of feeling, and then to consider how far introspection confirms these results. I am well aware that I traverse moot points-what points in psychology are not moot?-and I trust that the position taken will receive thorough criticism. I should be very glad to have new facts adduced, whatever way they may bear. I have no theory to defend, but the results offered are simply the best interpretation I have as yet been able to attain.
