Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“As a result of incontinent use of rhetorical figures, the size of the book has been made unduly large. For this fact alone the book becomes tedious to the man whose time is limited. The lack of a critical and scientific form of presentation, of specific historical references, and of close articulation with the results of advanced researches in experimental and analytical psychology, prevents the book from having any wide sphere of usefulness in the psychological research world.” John B. Watson.

“The rich material of the much better told observation is too often hidden in the elaborate context. It is indeed difficult to say to which kind of public the book would adapt itself.” Adolf Meyer.

“In spite of a few criticisms ... the book is a strong and interesting one, displaying the extent and intent of Dr. Jastrow’s grasp on the field which it covers.” Knight Dunlap.
