WILHELM MAX WUNDT (1832-1920) Beiträge zur Theorie der Sinneswahrnehmung. C. F. Winter 1862 xxxii, 451 pp. 19.5 cm.

Generally considered the father of modern experimental psychology, Wundt was a student of Johannes Müller and later assistant to Helmholtz at the University of Heidelberg. He later held teaching posts at Berlin, Zurich, and finally Leipzig, where he established the first psychological laboratory and began the publication of Philosophische Studien, the first journal devoted exclusively to psychology. This highly regarded work on sensory perception was completed only two years after Wundt's graduation from medical school.
