in this line has taken.But even here too much attention is bestowed on particular apparatus, and on special workers and studies.The treatment of association {under Ideation) and psychometry are more satisfactory ; of special interest is the discussion of the 1 uses and meaning of the time measurements ; yet here again one might wish for more figures and definite results ; for though the absolute times, as M. Binet concludes, may not have any great significance or universal application, the relative length of the distinct phases of an act, and of different acts, are the most important determinations in that branch, as yet.In a chapter on Observation, the author devotes considerable space to a discriminating defence of the statistical method employed with such effect by Galton and others.One cannot help confessing to a feeling of disappointment when it is considered what even a short book like this might have been and how much it might have accomplished for the science,-coming, as it does, from one amply qualified to judge the relative importance of experiments, and to give any number of them, so chosen as to arouse the deepest interest and, at the same time, picture accurately the present status of experimental psychology.H
