  • ""The present edition, which I have the honour to bring before the British public, differs considerably both in form and substance from the original Italian edition. My own judgment and the observations of my critics are responsible for this. The principal difference consists in greater brevity and conciseness, obtained by the elimination of a number of repetitions, which were one of the chief defects of the original work. I have, however, attempted to introduce some even more important changes. Thus the different questions have been severally investigated with greater care; the references have been extended to a greater number of authors; and, lastly, the second part of Chapter IV (on Method) has been suppressed, and has given place to a chapter (Chapter VI) on the Composition and Development of Mental Life. I venture, therefore, to express the hope that my work, thus modified, may serve as a critical and historical introduction to the study of modern Psychology. The origin of the problems of contemporary Psychology, their genetic relation to general philosophy, natural science, and the social and moral sciences, and the different aspects they assume in the various scientific systems of the present day, make up the subject-matter of my work. In an age like the present, in which the historico-genetic method is justly considered the best adapted to the solution of scientific problems, it seems advisable to apply it also to psychological questions which, owing to their great complexity and original diversity, continue to present many points of extreme difficulty and uncertainty"--Preface.
