  • ""Dr. Ladd-Franklin has written, in the course of a long and belligerent career, many vigorous articles on the subject of colour vision; she maintains that she could not do half as well again if she were to write afresh all the matter that they contain. It has been decided, therefore, to bring them out as they stand, with indications in square brackets (chiefly footnotes) where emendations were required. It is remarkable, however, how little alteration has been necessary--presumably because many of the scientists who interest themselves in colour are just as much in need now of the arguments that are here brought forward as they were at the time these several articles were written. The topic of this book, then, is the Ladd-Franklin theory of colour. Dr. Ladd-Franklin has been the first (and is still too nearly the only) physiologist to consider colour always in the light of the development of the colour-sense. This aspect of the subject is frequently reproduced in the present volume. There seemed to be no good reason for endeavouring to avoid repetition when it has constituted an essential part of an article. The reader can skip these repetitions if he likes--though it is quite possible that (since it is hammering that drives a thing in, and this theory has had undeserved difficulty in getting itself accepted) they may serve a useful purpose. With this mass of argument in definite form, Dr. Ladd-Franklin can now pass on to other aspects of the subject of colour-sensation"--Preface.
