"The great problem of the evolution of mind has received many notable contributions towards its solution of late years. We question, however, if there are any which, in time to come, will occupy a higher place than the work now before us. This it owes partly to its subject, partly to its treatment. Mr. Baldwin with rare skill has traced the thread of development from individuals to races, and has shown how the element of heredity plays a much larger part than is supposed in the economy of mental evolution…. The book is evidently the result of years of close observation and study. Its method is admirable, the induction is broad and reliable, while the conclusions drawn in most cases are both rigorously logical and avoid even the suspicion of exaggeration. We predict a high place in the annals of biological science will yet be assigned to this admirable work."—The Liberal.
"It is a most valuable contribution to biological psychology, which is a field of modern naturalism in which few have labored."—The Critic.
"'Mental Development' must be regarded as an epoch-making book: it suggests a new field for experiments and observations, and throws down the gauntlet to existing theories of mental growth."—The Churchman.
"It is of the greatest value and importance."—The Outlook.
"The author emphasizes the motor elements in mental evolution, and thus introduces into psychogenesis a point of view which is eminently characteristic of modern psychology…. This summary sketch can give no idea of the variety of topics which Professor Baldwin handles or of the originality with which the central thesis is worked out. No psychologist can afford to neglect the book, and its second part will be eagerly expected."—PROF. TITCHENER, Cornell University.

"That book is strongest which makes the reader think the most keenly, vigorously, and wisely, and, judged by this standard, this seems to be the most useful book of the season. We would put it in the hands of a working teacher more quickly than any other book that has come to our desk for many a month."—Journal of Education.

NOTICES.
"It is original, thorough, systematic, and wonderfully suggestive. Every superintendent should study this book. Few works have appeared lately which treat the subject under consideration with such originality, vigor, or good sense."—Education.
"A valuable little treatise on the physiological signs of mental life in children, and on the right way to observe these signs and classify pupils accordingly … The book has great originality and it should be very helpful to the teacher on a side of his work much neglected by the ordinary treatises on pedagogy."—Literary World.
"The eminence and experience of the author, and the years of careful study he has devoted to this and kindred subjects, are a sufficient guarantee for the value of the book; but those who are fortunate enough to examine it will find their expectations more than fulfilled … A great deal may be learned from these lectures, and we strongly commend them to our readers."—Canada Educational Journal.
