The pedagogical seminary.
First edition, rare in commerce. The first six parts of Stanley Hall’s journal of education, which in 1924, the year of Hall’s death, became the Pedagogical seminary and journal of genetic psychology. Hall dominates the first volume, with his critical view of higher education in Germany, France and America, and notes on the development of infants. Hall was a pioneer in the study of childhood development, educational psychology and evolutionary theory. He founded the American Journal of Psychology in 1887 and was first president of the American Psychological Association. He was also famous for bringing Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung to lecture at Clark University in 1909.
