Greetings: What you have appears to be Fechner's "Revision der Hauptpuncte der Psychophisik." Some of the letters in the last word are hard to read because the type is set in fraktur, a older German lettering style that differs from modern fonts. There's a nice guide to fraktur on the web, at http://www3.shore.net/~anderson/Fraktur.html
About the book, E. G. Boring, in his "A History of Experimental Psychology," says: "In 1882 Fechner published the 'Revision der Hauptpuncte der Psychophisik', a very important book, in which he took account of his critics (G.E. Müller, W. Wundt, Delboeuf) and sought to meet the unexpected demand of experimental psychology upon him." This is on page 283 of my copy of Boring.

Instead it looks something like "Hauptpuncte der psnchophnhk" (or something like that; see scanned pict.). Is this a different book? A different language? Thanks kindly for any insight you may have!
