“This volume deals with the various theories entertained in regard to the five senses, sensation in general, and lastly the Sensus Communis, and its method is under each head to give as consistent a view as possible of what was severally taught by Alcmaeon, Empedocles, Democritus, Anaxagoras, Diogenes of Appollonia, Plato, and Aristotle.”—Nature.

“The statement is very clear, the discussion of disputed points scholarly, the facts are well arranged, and the literature—to judge from the foot-notes and the list of books consulted—seems to have been thoroughly studied; although one misses a reference to one recent work on the ‘De anima’—that of Rodier, whose commentary, if not his translation, has been regarded by competent judges as indispensable. On every account this volume is to be commended to those interested in the development of theories of sense-perception.”
