About this Item

410 Pages. This facsimile reprint is Volume One in The Power Book Library in Three Parts embracing The Theory and Practice of a Growing Will, Direct Control of the Personal Faculties, and Success in The Conduct of Affairs. This was the 250th Edition of 18,000 copies. It was published in 1918 by The Pelton Publishing Company of Meriden, Connecticut. No date is given for publication of the facsimile. Included is a Preface of the Original as well as a Preface to the Revised Edition. The goal of the book before you may be presented by the following quotations from "Brain and Personality," by William Hanna Thomson, M.D.: A stimulus to nervous matter effects a change in the matter by calling forth a reaction in it. This change may be exceedingly slight after the first stimulus, but each repetition of the stimulus increases the change, with its following specific reaction, until by constant repetition a permanent alteration in the nervous matter stimulated occurs, which produces a fixed habitual way of working in it. In other words, the nervous matter acquires a special way of working, that is, of function, by habit. From the facts which we have been reviewing, we arrive at one of the most important of all conclusions, namely, that the gray matter of our brains is actually plastic and capable of being fashioned. It need not be left with only the slender equipment of functions which Nature gives it at birth. Instead, it can be fashioned artificially, that is, by education, so that it may acquire very many new functions or capacities which never come by birth nor by inheritance, but which can be stamped upon it as so many physical alterations in its proplasmic substance. This well-demonstrated truth is of far-reaching significance, because it gives an entirely new aspect to the momentous subject of Education.
