Cyril Lodowic Burt was born on 3 March 1883. He died in his eighty-ninth year on 10 October 1971. His life coincided with a period of outstanding interest in the history of psychology. In 1875 psychological enquiry as we know it today did not exist. Psychology was still generally regarded as a branch of philosophy, of little scientific interest and less practical significance. But the last quarter of the nineteenth century saw the beginnings of a concerted attempt to establish this sphere of knowledge as a branch of natural science, which would have both theoretical and practical value; and Burt was a leading figure in Great Britain in this undertaking.
