    PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION. The English edition is not a mere translation of the German original. In the first place, I have been at some pains to render it generally more complete and bring it up to date; and, moreover, as fuller particulars of the International Census of Waking Hallucina- tions have been published since the appearance of the original edition, it has been necessary to recast the chapters dealing with that subject, and in the process of recasting them I have not neglected to profit by the hints and objections of my critics. Finally, a new chapter has been added, in which an attempt is made to enlarge the scope of the work and to indicate the relation of the views set forth to psychology in general. I trust that the book in its new form may meet with as kindly a reception as on its first appearance. E. P. Munich, April 1897.
