Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Soul: And Other Essays In arranging the following essays and lectures for publication, their respective dates of production have been disregarded for the sake of presenting them, as far as possible, in a natural sequence. The first of the articles contains a statement of the fundamental principles of the author's hypothesis, and may be regarded as introductory to those which follow It will be found that these principles are restated, briefly, in other parts of the book; but the repetition is due to the fact that the papers were written at considerable intervals of time, and for readers or audiences not always familiar with the author's theories. I have ventured, however, to eliminate much of the iterated matter, leaving only that which bears directly upon the subject under consideration in the article in which it occurs. It was the author's purpose to revise his essays before their republication in the form of a collection, but his life's work ended with the last page of "The Law of Mental Medicine." The revision, however, would have resulted only in amplifying and elaborating the applications of his hypothesis. He had no changes to make in its fundamentals. During the ten years which have passed since the appearance of the first of his works on psychological subjects, no fact ever came under his observation which demanded the alteration of one of the basic ideas of his theory; and it can be said that he was not only an earnest and fearless seeker after facts, but what is better, an honest one. He found critics and opponents, but the most zealous have failed thus far to adduce a single phenomenon out of harmony with the principles laid down in his first work.
