[Review of the books Exercises for the rapid reading of scientific German psychological text

Abstract

Reviews the books, Exercises for the rapid reading of scientific German psychological text by Karl Duncker and Donald B. Watt (see record 1931-00013-000 ); and A German-English dictionary of psychological terms by Karl Duncker and Donald B. Watt (see record 1930-03750-000 ). These two works, lithoprinted by Edwards Brothers of Ann Arbor, form a unit although either is valuable alone. A note on the title page of the Exercises states that the text comprises an outline of the history of German psychology. While the psychology is elementary, the German is of a difficulty comparable to much of the scientific writings. The authors have introduced an excellent means of aiding the reader by interlinear translations of difficult words and idiomatic phrases. Nothing but commendation can be had for this pioneer attempt to give the student a means of increasing his ability to read psychological German.
