. In the interval before they were
published two or three small records had been published in Germany, andat least one paper, that of M. Taine, in France.
In 1881, the first edition of Professor Preyer's " model record " waspublished, and before his death, in 1897, it had reached its
third edition in Germany, and had been widely circulated in America in Mr. Brown's excellent translation, "The Sensesand
the Will," and " The Development of the Intellect." It did more to stimulate and direct the study of infancy than any other
publication. It has, however, the limitations that were to be expected from Professor Preyer's special training as a
physiologist, and is meager on the side of mental, moral, and emotional development. Professor Sully's " Extracts from a
Father's Diary," published in part in 1881 and 1884 and fully in 1896, is richer on these sides, and also more readable.
Within the present decade, it is worth observing, the principal records have been ten by women. Outside of America, only men, usually university professors, have made extended records. Professor
Preyer and Professor Sully have both appealed in vain to their countrywomen to keep such records, holding up American
women for emulation. My " Notes on the Development of a Child "were published in 1893 and 1899. In 1896 appeared Mrs.
Hall's " The First 500 Days of a Child's Life," a brief record, and confined to a short period, but a very good one, and perhaps
the best for use as a guide by any one who wishes to keep a record and finds Preyer too technical. Mrs. Moore's " Mental
Development of a Child " is quite as much a psychological study as a record, but is based on full biographical notes; it will be
more used by students than general readers. Mrs. Hogan's " A Study of a Child," 1898, is less scholarly than the others, out
has a great deal of useful material; it does not begin at birth, however, but with the fourteenth month.
Perhaps I should say a word here as to the way in which I came to make a baby biography, for I am often asked how one
should go to work at it. It was not done in my case for any scientific purpose, for I did not feel competent to make
observations of scientific value, Cut I had for years desired an opportunity to see the wonderful unfolding of human powers
out of the limp helplessness of the new-born baby; to watch this fascinating drama of evolution daily, minutely, and with an
effort to understand it as far as I could, for my own pleasure and information. I scarcely know whence the suggestion had
come; probably almost by inheritance, for my mother and grandmother had both been in somewhat notable degree observers
of the development of babies' minds. But, unlike them, I had the notebook habit from college and editorial days, and jotted
things down as I watched, till quite unexpectedly I found myself in possession of a large mass of data.
A few days after my own notes began I obtained Professor Preyer's record, and without it I should have found the earliest
weeks quite unintelligible. For some months my notes were largely memoranda of the likenesses and differences between my
niece's development and that of Preyer's boy, and I still think this is the best way for a new observer to get started. Astime
went on, I departed more and more from the lines of Preyer'sobservations, and after the first year was little influenced by
them. Later, I devoted a good deal of study to the notes, and tried to analyzetheir scientific results.
There is one question that I have been asked a hundred times about baby biography: " Doesn't it do the children some harm?
Doesn't it make them nervous? Doesn't it make them self-conscious? " At first this seemed to me an odd misapprehension —
as if people supposed observing children meant doing something to them. But I have no doubt it could be so foolishly
managed as to harm the child. There are thousands of parentswho tell anecdotes about children before their faces every day
