Excerpt from Beauty Ugliness: And Other Studies in Psychological �sthetics
Dealing with my previous volume, Laura; nobilij, the most intelligent of my critics complained that I took our aesthetic preferences for granted, Without explaining their nature or even proving their exist ence. If that rash reviewer really thirsts for psychological aesthetics, he may find some temporary refreshment in the present volume, Which contains as much of the How and W by of Beauty and Ugliness as I have been able to squeeze out of some rather dry books and out of fifteen years of my own and my fellow-worker's observations. If he, or any other inquisitive person, should then remain With unslaked curiosity about asthetics, he must go to the Psycho logical Laboratories of Germany and America, Where he may, in return for further knowledge, be used up as an experimental subject.
