William James's book 'Psychology: Briefer Course' was published. An abridgment to his classic work the 'Principles of Psychology' James notes in the preface that the chief aim of the book was to make it more directly available for class-room use, stating that:

'For this purpose I have omitted several whole chapters and rewritten others. I have left out all the polemical and historical matter, all the metaphysical discussions and purely speculative passages, most of the quotations, all the book-references, and (I trust) all the impertinences, of the larger work, leaving to the teacher the choice of orally restoring as much of this material as may seem to him good, along with his own remarks on the topics successively studied.'
