The Machinery of the Mind, by Violet Firth, was published in 1922. Violet Firth was a British psychologist and a pioneer in the dawning days of a new science. In this short little book the author chisels out her ideas in an uncommonly sharp, compact, and well structured manner. It is quite a clever piece of work, to say the very least. The composition achieves the most lucid clarity, but yet at the same time ends up transmitting extremely complex and profound ideas. It really is a work of art, as well as science, from a long gone era. Because it was published in Britain, and long ago, there are unusual spellings, grammar, and such. That's all part of the fun. —fadedpages.com
