Edmund Huey (1870-1913) published his seminal work on the psychology of reading in 1908. He invented a device to track reader's eye movements which is described in his book and used this to observe how the brain processes text on a page. This work is considered to be the first ground-breaking study in the process of reading. After earning a PhD in 1899 (his dissertation was on this topic), he later taught psychology and was also a clinical psychologist. There are a handful of b&w illustrations in the book.
