"The present work contains an exposition of Psychology from a genetic point of view. A glance at the table of contents will show that the order followed is that of the successive stages of mental development. The earlier stages have been copiously illustrated by reference to the mental life of animals. The phases through which the ideal construction of Self and the world has passed are illustrated by reference to the mental condition of the lower races of mankind. The shortcoming which I have been most anxious to avoid is sketchiness. I am convinced that the study of Psychology is of no use to the student unless he is able to live himself into psychological problems, so as to acquire a real power of thinking for himself on psychological topics. For this purpose cut and dried statements skimming important questions are of no avail. An effective introduction to Psychology must be clothed in living flesh and blood, both for the student's own sake, and for the sake of his success in examinations"--Preface.

"The aim of this work is to determine, as far as possible, the physiological conditions of the emotions, and to show that these conditions are identical with the somatic reactions resulting from the action of the physical agents to the influence of which man is subject. One will see then that the emotions are somatic states which are accompanied with states of consciousness such as one may see developed in consequence of physical excitations. External excitations, and representations of external excitations, emotions, can determine the same reactions, general or local, but variable according to the anterior condition of the patient or subject: one finds in the wake of moral shocks and in the wake of physical shocks the same pathological accidents, whether of the bodily or intellectual order. The absence of normal physical excitants are accompanied by the same depression of the animal functions as the absence of mental excitations. This similitude of physiological conditions will lead us hereafter to establish the physical nature, normal and abnormal, of the mind; and to propose prophylactic measures, hygienic and therapeutic, whose physiological action shall be experimentally adapted to their end"--Preface.
