About the book
The Principles of Psychology is William James’s survey of the science of the mind, published in two volumes in New York in 1890. In his preface, signed at Harvard University in August 1890, James says the book grew out of his classroom teaching, keeps throughout to the point of view of natural science, and runs to some fourteen hundred pages. This text is the 1890 work as reprinted in 1918, without James’s footnotes, which are mostly references to books and journals.
