LVELU Early Psychology Library — 99 Public-Domain Books on Mind and Human Nature
This library brings together 99 public-domain texts that trace the emergence of psychology as a distinct field and its intersections with philosophy, sociology, and the paranormal. The catalogue is organized into four overlapping categories: Mind Behavior, Early Psychology, Mental Life, and Applied Psychology. These groupings help navigate from individual consciousness to collective behavior, and from theoretical foundations to practical or controversial applications. Each record includes an editorial note, source attribution, and a link to the original Project Gutenberg text. Whether you're a student, researcher, or curious reader, three suggested reading paths offer structured entry points, while browsing by category or keyword supports open exploration.
