Excerpt from An Introduction to Comparative Psychology
I have laid much stress on the paramount import ance of systematic and sustained Observation as the only safe basis for conclusions concerning the intelli gence of animals. The observations, hereafter~ de scribed, of the way in which dogs deal with the difficulty of bringing a stick through vertical railings, affords a case in point. But with regard to this case, I should here state that l have received communica tions from two correspondents - Miss M. E. Garnons \villiams and Ouida - describing observations which Show that dogs sometimes meet the difficulty without preliminary bungling. I do not think that such occa sioual observations invalidate the conclusions reached by systematic investigation. I would, however, urge on all those who have the good fortune to witness the performance of some conspicuously intelligent action in any animal, not to rest content with merely record ing it, but to make it the basis of further observation directed to the end of ascertaining its true nature. The records of casual observation are not without their interest but the results of detailed investigation are, for comparative psychology, of far greater value.
I would strongly urge upon my readers the advisa bility of testing, by careful introspection, all my state ments concerning the mental processes of man. Only thus can a valid basis either of appreciation or of criticism be obtained. It must not be forgotten that introspective psychology is an essential preliminary to comparative psychology, and that, if it is to pro duce results of scientific value, it must be based upon exact and oft-repeated observation. Such observa tion, however, requires special training, not less than objective observation in physics or in biology. It would be an inestimable boon to comparative psycho logy, if all those who venture to discuss the problems with which this science deals would submit to some preparatory discipline in the methods and.results of introspective observation.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Comparative Psychology
My central object in this work is to discuss the relation of the psychology of man to that of the higher animals, since such a discussion forms in my opinion the best introduction to Comparative Psychology. A secondary object, subordinate indeed, yet forming an integral part of my plan, is to consider the place of consciousness in nature, the relation of psychical evolution to physical and biological evolution, and the light which comparative psychology throws on certain philosophical problems.
It was my original intention to compare my own results with those which have been reached by previous observers and thinkers in this field of investigation and inquiry. But I found that, in the first place, this would largely increase the bulk of the book; that, in the second place, it would introduce a controversial tone, which I was desirous of avoiding; and that it would in other ways interfere with what appeared the most convenient mode of developing my subject. I therefore abandoned my original intention, and adopted a more direct method of exposition and discussion. It is, however, all the more incumbent on me to acknowledge my indebtedness to my predecessors and contemporaries.
