Excerpt from A Study in the Psychology of Ethics The first half of the book covers the same ground as the articles in The Philosophical Review.' The criticism of current theories of emotion has been revised, but has not been materially altered. The chapters on The Nature of Emotion and The Primary Emotions have been amended, enlarged, and largely rewritten. The second half of the book deals with the primary principles of action and with the ethical significance of results attained throughout. The discussion of the notion of Worth, which appears in the concluding chapter, embodies some of the results of an article on Natural Selection in Ethics which was published in 1901 in 'the Philosophical Review.' My obligations to different writers in ethics and psychology have been acknowledged, as far as possible, in the text. I desire, however, to ex press my special obligations to Professor James of Harvard. In the actual preparation of this volume I have received valuable criticisms and suggestions from Mr Norman Smith of the University of Glasgow. I am also indebted to Dr Albert Lefevre of Cornell University for the assistance he has rendered in reading the proofs.
