    THE GROUP MIND A Sketch of the Principles of Collective Psychology with some attempt to ap¬ ply them to the Interpretation ©f National Life and Character BY WILLIAM McDOUGALL, F.R.S. Professor of Psychology, Harvard University Late Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge, Fellow of Corpus Christi College, and Wilde Reader in Mental Philosophy in the University of Oxford This volume constitutes the second step in the author’s projected Treatise on Social Psychology, the first volume of which. Introduction to Social Psychology, was published in 1908. In this new work, the author sketches the principles of the mental life of groups, and applies these principles to the understanding of the life of nations. He hopes that the book may constitute a contribution towards the great experiment in Social Science which the American people is making with so ardent a faith in the power of the Group Mind to attain effective direction of its own development.
