Elements Of Psychology (1895)

By James Hervey Hyslop

Book Overview

Elements of Psychology is a comprehensive and foundational textbook on the subject of psychology, written by James Hervey Hyslop and first published in 1895. The book is divided into three main sections: the first covers the history of psychology, including the philosophical and scientific roots of the discipline; the second delves into the study of mental processes, such as perception, attention, memory, and imagination; and the third explores the application of psychology to various fields, such as education, law, and medicine.Hyslop's writing is clear and accessible, making the book an ideal introduction to the subject for students and lay readers alike. He draws on a range of sources, including the work of earlier psychologists such as William James and Wilhelm Wundt, as well as contemporary research and theory. Throughout the book, Hyslop emphasizes the importance of empirical observation and experimentation in the study of psychology, and he provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts.Despite its age, Elements of Psychology remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of psychology as a scientific discipline. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the field, while also laying out a framework for understanding the complex workings of the human mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
