The Elements of the Psychology of Cognition

Excerpt from The Elements of the Psychology of Cognition

The present work professes to be an introduction to a very interesting and important subject of study, - the psychology of the intellectual part of the human mind. It is designed principally for the use of students who are beginning their philosophical studies, and the writer has therefore endeavoured to express himself in as clear and simple language as possible. But while intended primarily for this class of readers, it is hoped that those who have already made the acquaintance of the subject will find something to interest them.

The writer is ready to admit that one principal object which he kept before his mind in the preparation of the book was to show the inadequacy and unsatisfactoriness of a prevailing system of psychology which may be indicated by the word "phenomenalism."
