Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

It presented, provisionally to be sure, a definite and teachable system, which gave .: students who mastered it a sense of control over the ma -terial, enabled them to observe and think psychologically for themselves and not least important afforded them a CN, terminology and a point of view which rendered the litera1 Fourth edition, 1908.
