Failure of Will

"Professor Ribot is a clear and accurate thinker and student, who has taken up certain distinct phases of psychology which affect most directly the work of the intelligent teacher, and has studied these which the greatest care, bringing together the results of physiological, pathological, and psychological investigators and experimenters. He presents the results of his studies clearly and concisely, showing the results which have been attained, the important details upon which those who are deepest versed in the subject are not agreed, and the directions in which students are turning their attention, as affording the most hopeful fields for the solution of the countless problems of the psychological world. The translations (...) are excellent renderings, carefully preserving the exactness and clearness of the French, without sacrificing accuracy or philosophical statement." - The Journal of Education, Vol. 40, No. 10, p. 179.
