THE PHILOSOPHICAL WORKS

OF

George Trumbull Ladd

Professor of Philosophy in Yale University


Primer of Psychology.

By GEORGE TRUMBULL LADD, Professor of Philosophy in Yale University. 12mo, $1.00 net.

This work is in no sense a condensation of any larger work, but has been prepared by the author expressly for the use of elementary classes in schools and colleges. The need for such a book has been great, and coming as it does from the masterly hand of this eminent author, its value will be at once recognized.


Psychology: Descriptive and Explanatory.

A Treatise of the Phenomena, Laws, and Development of Human Mental Life. By GEORGE TRUMBULL LADD, Professor of Philosophy in Yale University. 8vo, $4.50.

The book is designed to cover the entire ground of descriptive and explanatory psychology in a summary way, reserving speculative discussion and the philosophy of mind for another volume. It is carefully adapted to the needs of pupils and teachers, while not exclusively prepared for them.

The point of view taken leads the author into an analysis of all the mental processes, but especially into the endeavor to trace the development of mental life, the formation and growth of so-called "faculty," and the attainment of knowledge and of character.

"I know of no other work that gives so good a critical survey of the whole field as this.",—Prof. B. P. Bowne, Boston University.

"Any writing of his is a matter to be grateful for. This book will largely increase our debt.",—Prof. G. H. Palmer, Harvard University.
