CREATIVE EVOLUTION BY HENRI BERGSON MEMBER OF THE INSTITUTE PROFESSOR AT THE COLLEGE DE FRANCE AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION BY ARTHUR MITCHELL, PH.D. NEW YORK HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY 1911 COPYRIGHT, 1911, by HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY CAMELOT PRESS, 18-20 OAK STREET, NEW YORK TRANSLATOR'S NOTE In the writing of this English translation of Professor Bergson's most important work, I was helped by the friendly interest of Professor William James, to whom I owe the illumination of much that was dark to me as well as the happy rendering of certain words and phrases for which an English equivalent was difficult to find.

His sympathetic appreciation of Professor Bergson's thought is well known, and he has expressed his admiration for it in one of the chapters of A Pluralistic Universe.

It was his intention, had he lived to see the completion of this translation, himself to introduce it to English readers in a prefatory note.
