| Summary |
"This second volume follows the plan of the first (see record 2005-06678-000), with such modifications (noted in their place) as the difference of subject matter has seemed to make necessary. The major part of the book--in Pt. i., the Introduction, Ch. I., and the expository portions of Ch. II.; in Pt. ii., the Introduction, Ch. I., and the historical and critical, Sections of Ch. II.--was written in 1901-1903. In the autumn of 1903, I was obliged to turn aside for a time to other occupations, and did not resume my main task until the spring of 1904. In the meanwhile, Professor G.E. Muller had published his Gesichtspunkte und Tatsachen der psychophysischen Methodik, a work of practically the same range as my Chs. I. and II. I had been greatly influenced by Muller's previous writings, and had shaped my account of the, Metric Methods in conformity with his standards; I had also, if it may be said without self-praise, carried psychophysical analysis, in various directions, beyond the point at which he had left it. When, therefore, the Methodik appeared, I found nothing to alter or amend; though, as I had known before, there was much that might be deepened and broadened. I was sorely tempted to leave my text as it stood, and to take account of Muller's book simply in foot-note references. But the better counsel prevailed: I have gone over again the ground covered by Muller's researches, and have sought to make the new results an organic part of my exposition"--Preface.
