Baldwin, James Mark. Mental development in the child and the race: methods and processes, with figs. and diagrams. 3d ed. *$2.25. Macmillan.
6–44351.
Third edition with improvements and enlargements.
“Professor Baldwin’s book deserves high commendation even though one cannot agree in all details with the particular theory of mental development which he sets forth. The book gathers together a wealth of data regarding mental development, and is so well grounded upon biological facts and principles that one who is not a specialist in genetic psychology hesitates to criticise it. Nevertheless, the particular theory of mental development which Professor Baldwin champions—the imitation theory—seems to the writer decidedly weak at certain points.” Charles A. Ellwood.

“One thing that impresses the reader most favorably, apart from the obviously astute observation of the author, is his personal attitude of interest and appreciation. Analytic though his study of children must be, it contains a notable trait of appreciative humanity.”

“As a book of genesis, biological and psychological, the present work is of distinctive and permanent value.”
