Excerpt from Outlines of Imperfect and Disordered Mental Action IN undertaking to prepare the present volume, I was strongly in uenced by a conviction of the practical importance of the subject. It is perhaps true, that the public mind is but little informed, cer tainly much less than it should be, in relation to the true doctrines of regular or normal mental action; but it is, undoubtedly, much more ignorant of the philosophy of defective and disordered mental ao tion. Nor is it surprising that this should be the' case, when we consider that but very few writers, even of those who have professedly devoted them selves to mental inquiries, have particularly investi gated this portion of the Philosophy of Mind. It has, in fact, been almost totally neglected, except by a few learned and philosophical writers of the med ical profession, who, in the discharge of their pro fessional duties, could not well avoid giving some attention to 'this, subject. But the books of these writers, of great value as they undoubtedly are, are for the most part taken up with the consider ation of disordered mental action as it is connect ed particularly with the physical system, and with various practical directions having relation to the treatment of insane persons. These works were not designed for popular circulation; nor, as a matter of fact, has this been the case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
