Mrs. Shinn often hedges her elegant observations with such cautions as "but she means little enough by it." She leads us
through various definitions of memory, from habit memory to truememory, and finally to intentionality. Although she does
not attribute intentions to Ruth until the fifth month, the babymeanwhile has brought objects to her mouth for exploration,
has looked for her mother's face after it disappears, waiting for it to reappear (at thirteen weeks), has explored objects and her
aunt's face with both her fingers and her mouth (at four anda half months), and has even shown a "fear of the dark" and "fear
of strangers" at four and a half months. Mrs. Shinn's powers of observation clearly triumph over her theories! One of the most
sensitive insights in the book is her recognition of the competition that exists between hunger and the excitement of looking
at and feeling objects at five months. Mrs. Shinn correctly identifies the thrill that the baby feels at that age, when the burst of
awareness about her world overwhelms her desire for food.
By the time the baby is five months old, the author is willing to admit to "real" desire on the part of the baby, and shows how
rapidly her interest in objects begins to unfold. When Ruth issix months old, Mrs. Shinn identifies what we now call "meansends," "object permanence/' and "imitation," and shows the baby's increasing self-awareness. Mrs. Shinn was making these
acute observations and labeling them long before Piaget had described such cognitive processes. Did Piaget read her
observations and learn from her insights? I was particularly impressed with Mrs. Shinn's understanding of "her" baby's
pleasure in each learning step. For example, she describes the way Ruth drops things simply to "watch them fall."
Descriptions like this make Ruth seem so alive!
Mrs. Shinn's book is a classic of observation. Observation—that is, watching and recording— has a long and distinguished
history as a research instrument In the natural sciences. And yet there are few volumes that include such sensitivity and
attention to detail as does this "baby biography/' In the words of a reviewer of the period, Mrs. Shinn had a vital asset: "the
loving, sympathetic relation with the subject, necessary for insight and yet not sufficient to obscure the judgment." It is a
pleasure to read a book first published in 1900 that has obviously led us to some of our present insights.

THE BIOGRAPHY OF A BABY
BABY BIOGRAPHY IN GENERAL
" IT is a well recognized fact in the history of sciencethat the very subjects which concern our dearest interests, which lie
nearest our hearts, are exactly those which are the last to submit to scientific methods, to be reduced to scientific law. Thus it
has come to pass that while babies are born and grow up in every household, and while the gradual unfolding of their
faculties has been watched with the keenest interest and intensest joy by intelligent and even scientific fathers and mothers
from time immemorial, yet very little has yet been done in the scientific study of this most important of all possible subjects,
—the ontogenetic evolution of "the faculties of the human mind.
" Only in the last few years has scientific attention been drawn to the subject at all. Its transcendent importance has already
enlisted many observers, but on account of the great complexity of the phenomena, and still more the intrinsic difficulty of
their interpretation, scientific progress has scarcely yet commenced.
" What is wanted most of all in this, as in every science, is a body of carefully observed facts. But to be an accomplished
investigator in this field requires a rare combination of qualities. There must be a wide intelligence combined with patience in
