Excerpt from The Pathology of Mind a Study of Its Distempers, Deformities, and Disorders The first edition of The Physiology and Pathology of fifimi appeared in 1867, and a second edition in the following year. In 1876 the first part of it was published as a separate volume entitled The Physiology of Mind, and in 187 9 the second part followed in separate form as The Pathology of Mind. This book, although retaining the old name, is virtually new; for while old matter has been left out and much fresh matter added, the whole has been recast, the form of its presentation changed, and the text entirely rewritten. As it would not have been proper to give it a new title, since it deals with the same subject as the former treatise, and necessarily incorporates the revised substance of what was contained in it, I have retained the old title, only adding a supplementary notification of the present scope of the contents. As it is now, the work may be said to present the last ripe fruits of observations and reflections the first green fruits of which appeared so long ago.
