Excerpt from Man's Place in the Cosmos: And Other Essays A second edition of these essays having been called for, I have taken the Opportunity of including two papers, more recently written, whose subjects seemed germane to the main theme of the volume. For permission to reproduce these I am indebted to the courtesy of Mr John Murray, and the Editors of Blackwood's Magazine and the 'contemporary Review.' The other essays are reprinted from the first edition substantially without alteration, but account has been taken in the third of the new setting which Professor Miinsterberg has given to his theory in his later works.
