Titchener, Edward Bradford. Experimental psychology: a manual of laboratory practice, v. 2. pt. 1, *$1.40; pt. 2, *$2.50. Macmillan.
This second volume of Professor Titchener’s work is a manual of “Quantitative experiments” as was its predecessor of “Qualitative.” It comprises two parts, an instructor’s manual and a student’s manual. The student’s manual contains chapters “on Preliminary experiments, comprising experiments in tone and pressure discrimination, leading up to demonstrations of Weber’s Law; on the Metric methods—historical notes accompanying the experiments; on the Reaction experiment, the Psychology of time and the range of Quantitative psychology. The Instructor’s manual contains, in addition, appendices giving examination questions, bibliographies and a list of important instruments for psychophysical research with prices and names of makers.” (Bookm.)
“Lucid, methodical and business-like in the extreme.”
