In this book I have sketched the principles of the mental life of groups and have made a rough attempt to apply these principles to the understanding of the hfe of nations. I have had the substance of the book in the form of lecture notes for some years, but have long hesitated to pub Ush it. I have been held back, partly by my sense of the magnitude and difficulty of the subject and the inadequacy of my own preparation for deahng with it, partly because I wished to build upon a firm foundation of generally accepted principles of human nature. Some fifteen years ago I projected a complete treatise on Social Psychology which would have comprised the substance of the present volume. I was prevented from carrying out the ambitious scheme, partly by the difficulty of finding a pubhsher, partly by my increasing sense of the lack of any generally accepted or acceptable account of the constitution of human nature. I found it necessary to attempt to provide such a foundation, and in 1908 pub Ushed my Introduction to Social Psychology. That book has enjoyed a certain popular success. But it was more novel, more revolutionary, than I had supposed when writing it; and my hope that it would rapidly be accepted by my colleagues as in the main a true account of the fundamentals of human nature has not been reahsed. All this part of psychology labours under the great difficulty that the worker in it cannot, like other men of science, pubhsh his conclusions as discoveries which will necessarily be accepted by any persons competent to judge. He can only state his conclusions and his reasonings and hope that they may gradually gain the general approval of his colleagues. For to the obscure questions of fact with which he deals it is in the nature of things impossible to return answers supported by indisputable experimental proofs.
