    PREFACE TO FIFTH EDITION. In the present edition the Handbook has been revised throughout, and to a large extent re-written. It is now between one-sixth and one-fifth larger than it was in the fourth edition. The additions include some chapters which are wholly new, namely, i., xv., xvi., xvii. and xx. Other chapters—more particularly, ii., iv., vi., vii., viii., ix., x., xii., xiii., xiv., xviii. and xix.—have undergone so much alteration as to be largely new. In making these changes I have sought, while keeping to the original form and mode of treatment of the book, as well as to its original intention—as an introduction to psychology—to make it more adequately representative of the present state of psychology and of educational thought. As a result of the changes the work will be found somewhat more advanced in parts. Any difficulties thus introduced, however, may be considerably lessened by a study of the book under the guidance of a competent lecturer, who may probably advise the student to omit certain portions on a first reading : e.g., on the theory of Development, and on Perception. In this way, I trust, a work which has so long kept its place in the department of educational psychology may continue to be a useful introduction to the subject—primarily for teachers, and secondarily for others who in the past have found it serviceable.
