PREFATORY NOTE

This book corresponds to a German book, which I published a few monthsago, under the title Psychologie und Wirlschaftsleben: Ein Beitragzur angewandten Experimental-Psychologie (Leipzig: J.A. Barth). It isnot a translation, as some parts of the German volume have beenabbreviated or entirely omitted and other parts have been enlarged andsupplemented. Yet the essential substance of the two books isidentical.
