Some Recent Books on Psychology

The Psychology of the Thinker. (University of London Press. 7s. 6d.)—Dr. Ida Saxby, Lecturer in Education at University College, Cardiff, has written this book for students to explain the psychology of thinking in the light of our present know- ledge of the unconscious. It is divided into three sections, which deal respectively with the function of thought, the thought process and the acquisition of knowledge. When once the difficulties of Dr. Saxby's new nomenclature have been overcome the student will find this book interesting and stimulating reading.
