The following list is a catalogue rather than a bibliography. It is based upon a collection of books assembled over roughly a ten year period, from 1985 to 1995, which now resides at the Archives of the History of American Psychology at the University of Akron. That collection has been supplemented here by a few titles which have come to hand since 1995; supplemental entries have been marked by l.

With a warm presentation to Rowland Hazard from the author, dated Dec. 1, 1885."Organic Scientific Philosophy" at head of title. Schneider calls this Abbot's "best book" and "a major contribution to American philosophic realism."

ABBOT, F.E. The Syllogistic Philosophy or Prolegomena to Science. Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1906. 1st ed. 2 vols. 8vo. xii, [4], 317; vi, 376 pp. Orig. cloth. Tide-mark across front blank of volume I, newspaper clippings pasted to rear endpapers, else very good.

Scarce, posthumous publication: following its completion, in 1903, Abbot committed suicide at his wife's grave. This is Abbot's "major systematic work."--J. Blau, in EP.

Tipped in at front is a short A.L.S. (faded) of Abbot, written from Toledo, Feb. 27, 1875, requesting that a year's worth of The Radical be sent to one E.W. Pike, Galesburg, Ill. The Way Out of Agnosticism grew out of Abbot's lectures at Harvard as a replacement for Royce. It was Royce's review of this work which led Abbot to sue for libel, initiating one of the nastiest incidents in the history of American philosophy.

ADAMS, F.W. Theological Criticisms: Or Hints of the Philosophy of Man and Nature. In Six Lectures. To which are Added, Two Poetical Scraps, and Dogmas of Infidelity. Montpelier [Vt.]: Pub. by J.E. Thompson, 1843. 1st ed. 12mo. 216, 32 pp. Cont. leather and marbled boards. Moderately foxed.

The work had "considerable influence...as the first important deistic publication in America.

The author's first book, this being William James' copy with his pencilled signature on front blank and with some characteristic text markings in pencil. Perry does not mention this work, but does note that Bowne's Metaphysics (1882) and Theism (1902) "were carefully read and approvingly annotated by James" (II: 330, note). It is noteworthy that James taught an undergraduate course in 1876-77 which used Spencer's Principles of Psychology as a text. James had early on been taken with Spencer's work, but in part as the result of Peirce's criticism, later became disenchanted with it. Bowne's work here is likewise highly critical of Spencer.

BRIGHAM, A. Remarks on the Influence of Mental Cultivation and Mental Excitement Upon Health. Third Edition. Phila.: Lea & Blanchard, 1845. 12mo. xxviii, [37], 204 pp. Orig. cloth, light wear to extremities. Very good.

BUCHANAN, JOSEPH. The Philosophy of Human Nature. Richmond, K[y].: Pr. for John A. Grimes, 1812. 1st ed., 8vo. vi, [2], 336 pp. Cont. tree calf, leather label, head of spine chipped. Endpapers browned, text lightly foxed. A printing flaw (from page being folded) on page 67 has rendered a portion of the text illegible, small paper repair to one other leaf affecting several letters. A couple of signatures moderately foxed, but text generally very good.

S & S 24976, locating 14 copies, but the book is rare in trade. Schneider called it (ca. 1946) "a book which is very difficult to obtain." It is "unquestionably the most original American contribution to psychology before William James.... a remarkable anticipation of later developments in associationist pyschology, visual phenomenology, and sensory-motor psychophysiology."--Mind & Body. I.W. Riley called Buchanan (1785-1829) "the earliest native physiological psychologist." A note to the excellent facsimle reprint (a copy of which is included) issued by M & S Press (Weston, Mass. 1970) states that the originals were "badly printed, with a great many variations of lightness and darkness, and were printed on a rather dark and flawed paper." The paper and typography here are generally quite good and, aside from the flaws noted above, the present copy is definitely a superior one.

BUCHANAN, JOSEPH RODES. Sketches of Buchanan's Discoveries in Neurology. Louisville: J. Eliot & Co.'s Power Press, 1842. 1st ed. 12mo. 120 pp. Orig. printed wraps, lower corner creased. Fine.

Buchanan (1814-1899), "erratic physician and writer" (DAB), the only child of Joseph Buchanan, was the object of his father's eager and idiosyncratic schooling methods: the younger Buchanan is said to have studied Blackstone's Commentaries at the age of 12. Buchanan's reference to himself in the third person on the title here is perhaps an indication of his inordinate self-confidence. Lest that not be sufficient, we quote the following: "For some months past I have been engaged...in an experimental investigation of the functions of the brain, in which I have been so singularly fortunate, that in...a single month, I have been able to ascertain more of its true physiology than has heretofore been acquired by all the labors of all the Physiologists and Pathologists who have ever been engaged in observing and making experiemnts to ascertain the nature and locality of its various functions." Very scarce in wrappers.

BURTON, ASA. Essays On Some of the First Principles of Metaphysics, Ethicks, and Theology. Portland: Pr. at the Mirror Office, 1824. 1st ed., 8vo. 414 pp., including contents leaf. Cont. tree calf with leather label. Endpapers lacking front and back, title a little foxed and soiled, scattered foxing throughout, mostly in margins.

Burton is credited with the introduction of a tripartite division of the mental faculties into American psychology. Written around 1800 but published here for the first time, Burton's scheme divides the mind into three entities: understanding, taste (i.e. feeling) and will. He denied independent status to the will, however, claiming it to be merely executive of the desires of taste. Many other American writers adopted variations of Burton's psychology and it became firmly entrenched with the publications of Upham's text-books.

A good run of a significant journal, one of only a handful of English-language periodicals devoted to Philosophy instituted before 1900. A partial list of contributers to these volumes includes: Binet; Boltzmann; Bosanquet; Dewey; Eucken; Haeckel; Levy-Bruhl; Lombroso; Mach; Morgan, C.L.; Peirce; Poincaré; Ribot; Romanes; Schröder; and Venn. There are a total of 7 papers by C.S. Peirce here, including an important series which appeared between January, 1891 and January, 1893: "these five essays set forth a very different metaphysical perspective than had the strongly positivistic and anti-metaphysical first series [in Popular Science Monthly, 1877-78].... The Monist essays forcefully and unexpectedly proclaimed an absolute idealist, as well as realist, metaphysics that seemed written by a different man. Each essay was devoted primarily to a single aspect of Peirce's cosmology, and each contained a brief but remarkably able intellectual history of the scientific and philosophical problems involved."--Brent. The other two articles by Peirce, which appeared in 1896 and 1897, are commentaries upon Schröder's Exact Logic (a work which Peirce greatly admired), the third volume of which appeared in 1895.

Chase (1820-1886) taught science, and later philosophy, at Haverford College. He was an accomplished linguist who "in later life...was...interested in cosmical subjects, striving to establish a common law that 'All physical phenomena are due to an Omnipotent Power, acting in ways which may be represented by harmonic or cyclical modulations in an elastic medium.'"--DAB.

With contemporary Ann Arbor binder's ticket on front pastedown.

Very scarce. With a signed calligraphic inscription from Cocker to one Ida M. Bellis, dated 3/25/'77; the printing is dedicated to the Class of '77 at Michigan "at whose request these 'Notes' were prepared, and at whose expense they were published...." Cocker was the Philosophy department at Michigan for many years prior to his death in 1893; his presence probably retarded philosophy there as it held up the advancement of G.S. Morris. Cocker was thus the progenitor of a department that was shortly to include, in addition to Morris, G.W. Howison, John Dewey, R.M. Wenley and (briefly) G.H. Mead. While Cocker has been described as "completely devoid of training or resources in philosophical scholarship" (Jones, George Sylvester Morris, 1948), he did publish Christianity and Greek Philosophy (see below). In any event, this synopsis of Cocker's lectures, which proceeds in deductive fashion from one definition to the next, is a valuable document in the history of American philosophical pedagogy.

Croly (1829-1889) was a radical journalist whose principal claim to fame was the coining of the term "miscegenation," in a book of that title (1864). "One of Croly's chief interests was Auguste Comte's theory of Positivism, a philosophy which he did his best to introduce into the United States."--DAB.

Evans 11623. A sequel was published in New Haven in 1773. The present work was the earliest response of the liberal clergy to Edwards' Freedom of the Will (1754). Dana makes a number of references (e.g. pp. 71-72, p. 126) to alleged similarities between the doctrines of Edwards and those of Hume. Dana's views were later taken up by Stephen West.

With the contemporary signature of Dr [?James] Marsh on title. This edition has been reset and the Table of Contents reorganized, but it appears to be a straight reprint of the text, title notwithstanding. This edition does seem, in our experience, scarcer than the earlier one. A defense of the views of Jonathan Edwards, this is one of a spate of works, pro and con, appearing in the 1830's and early '40's, which betokened a resurgence of interest in Edwards' work.

August 3, 1836. Burlington, N.J.: J. L. Powell, 1836. 1st ed. 8vo. 44 pp. Removed. Foxed, stain on fore-edge of first few leaves.

Henry (1804-1884) was, through his his translation of Cousin and his own writings, the pre-eminent American spokesman and expositor of Eclecticism, which, together with German influences was instrumental in breaking the grip of Scottish Realism in the United States, thereby contributing to the rise of Transcendentalism. The present address stresses the importance of intellectual indenpendence in counterbalancing the national tendencies to materialism and party strife. For an extended discussion of Henry's works and influence, see Wells, Chapter 3.

The first book in English with "psychology" in its title, Cousin's book went into several editions and was widely read in America. The first edition is quite uncommon. "This work openly raised the standard of revolt against the fundamental principles and method's of Locke's philosophy. It went through several editions and gave strength and impulse in the movement towards the continental writers."--N. Porter, in Ueberweg.

Hickok (1798-1898) "was America's first systematic philosopher" and "the first...to attempt to make systematic use of Kant and the post-Kantian German rationalists."--J.L. Blau, in EP. His influence on American philosophy was considerable: John Bascom (at Williams) and Julius Seelye and Charles Garmen (both at Amherst) were among his disciples.

Hildreth (1807-1865) is best known as an historian, but is deserving of greater recongnition for his philosophical works (of which this and the following title are his most important). They are noteworthy for their introduction of Utilitarianism into American ethical and political theory.

HILDRETH, R. Theory of Politics: An Inquiry into the Foundation of Governments, and the Causes and Progress of Political Revolutions. N.Y.: Harper & Brothers, 1853. 1st ed. Small 8vo. 274 pp., plus ads. Orig. cloth (spine faded). Fine.

This and the preceding work are the only published volumes in a series of six projected by Hildreth. "The peculiarity of these Treatises will consist in an attempt to apply rigorously and systematically to their several subjects the Inductive Method of Investigation,--a method which in Physical Science has proved successful beyond expectation, but which...has been very partially employed and, in consequence, with very small results, upon the yet nobler and more important Science of Man." The next two treatises, on wealth and on taste, exist in manuscript and extracts were published in An American Utilitarian: Richard Hildreth as Philosopher by Martha M. Pingel (N.Y. 1948). The final two treatises, on knowledge and on education, were apparently never written.

Orig. cloth, printed paper label (rubbed, one corner perished). Spine darkened, cloth splitting along one hinge. Pencilled notes on rear endpapers. A good copy of a book rarely found in nice condition.

A fine, early presentation copy, inscribed to "Francis G. Peabody/with warm regards,/of the Author/June 21st, 1902" on front flyleaf; the book was issued in June of 1902. In a letter (not present) which accompanied the presentation of this book, James wrote to Peabody, "You will class me as a Methodist, minus a Savior!" (quoted in Perry II:331). Peabody was a longtime friend of James, a peripheral member of the famous Metaphysical Club of the early 1870's, and a colleague at Harvard, first in the Divinity School, and after 1886 in the Department of Philosophy, where he taught "social ethics." "More important than [C.C.] Everett in the renaissance of the Divinity School and in connection with philosophy was the appointment of Francis Greenwood Peabody to the Parkman Chair in 1881." Peabody "believed that theology ought to stress man's religious sentiments and not abstruse speculation"--(Kucklick, 1977), a view akin to that advanced by James in Varieties. "Peabody fit nicely into the new division of philosophy [at Harvard] because his work helped Royce and James break up their tasks. The philosophers...would provide a technical rationale and examine individual responsibilities and religious duties. Peabody could extend these latter insights to American life in general." (ibid). Some scholars have noted, however, the contrast between the pietistic individualism of James' Pragmatism and the institutional orientation of Peabody's ethical idealism. "The few published letters from James to Peabody suggest both this intellectual tension and a warm personal friendship." Potts, in Social Science at Harvard, 1860-1920.

William James' copy with his pencilled signature dated Berlin Sept. 1867 on front flyleaf and with his characteristic pencil markings and occasional marginal note. Most noteworthy among the latter is a note of approximately 65 words (p. 137) on the development of "absolute norms" in perception, e.g. of loudness, weight and light. "During the 18 months in 1867-68 which [James] spent abroad, striving both to improve his health and amass knowledge in the German psychological laboratories, he purchased many French and German books, largely in the medical sciences. The bulk of his books bore his name on the flyleaf, occasionally even the address and date. His earlier signatures were clearly an imitation of his father's.... Later, about the time he was 25, James's autograph became more individual and fixed."--Roback.

Cont. cloth, printed paper label. Some wear to head of spine, spotty foxing to title and occasionally in text. An excellent copy. Rare.

A revised edition of the author's The Philosophy of Human Knowledge, or a Treatise on Language (1828). Johnson's most important work(s), they represent the most original American contribution to philosophical analysis before C.S. Peirce. NUC locates 13 copies of the present edition; it is very uncommon in trade. With a presentation inscription to Johnson's friend James Watson Williams, "From the Author." Williams published an obituary of Johnson.

Johnson considered this work his "ultimate thoughts" on language. It modifies the extreme nominalism of his earlier work by adding to sensation the catagories of "inner feeling" and "intellection" as possible sources of signification.

This is perhaps the most widely read of Johnson's philosophical works, written in a popular style, and it is the only one to merit a contemporary notice in the Westminster Review (Todd & Sonkin, p. 327). Johnson wished that he had published this work before The Meaning of Words (1854) because in The Physiology of the Senses "he laid the foundation for the detailed analysis of sensory perception on which he constructed his theories of meaning." (ibid, p. 325). All of Johnson's publications are uncommon and a number are rare.

The work is primarily a critique of linguistic theory, especially those of Locke and Tooke Horne. It contains several references to A.B. Johnson, most notably in the Preface where the author states that he "cannot do better" in summarizing his own views "than [to] conclude this preface with an extract from A.B. Johnson," whereupon follow four paragraphs (the text from the final four sections of Lecture XX) from A Treatise on Language. Rynin, in his Introduction to the Treatise, says that "the edition of 1836 created no more excitement that the first, for apart from a brief notice or two no mention of the work has been found for the next hundred years, except a few quotations in Edward Johnson's Nuces Philosophiae (London 1842) and a reference in Horace Bushnell's God in Christ (Hartford 1849)."

Johnson acknowledges the influence of Lotze, J.B. Stallo and Andrew Seth on his thought. He was one of a group of theologians, including M.J. Savage, J.T. Bixby, and C.F. Dole, which took an optimistic view of evolution. "The most scholarly writer of this group was Francis Howe Johnson.... His book, What Is Reality?...(Boston 1891), is one of the most philosophical expressions of liberal theological evolutionism in New England."--Schneider.

"As early as the winter of 1837-38 and as far west as Cincinnati the theme of man's divine nature was being expounded by Alexander Kinmont in a remarkable series of lectures on The Natural History of Man.... What made his exposition of this theme particularly sensational was that he undertook by this theory of progress to counteract a popular tendency among the Western educational reformers to abandon classical education in favor of a combination of Biblical and 'American' education. He presented man's cultural heritage as the most essential feature in his natural equipment."--Schneider.

A significant edition, drawing upon the editions of Ueberweg and Fraser. The text is preceded by a lengthy Prolegomena (pp. 5-150) by the editor and concludes with several appendices (pp. 285-407). Krauth (1823-1883), a Lutheran clergyman, believed this work to be "the first of its kind from an American hand. Though we have had...scholars who would have enriched the thinking world by labours of this sort, none of them...have attempted an extended illustration of a philosophical classic. Nor is the editor aware that there is in our language, nor even in German, incomparably rich as it is in literature of this class, any body of Annotations, of the same relative extent as this, on a modern philosophical classic."

An attractive set.

Lieber (1800-1872) was perhaps the most influential political theorist in America during the 19th century. He taught at the University of South Carolina from 1835 to 1855, a "period [that] was decidedly fruitful, for in the course of it Lieber produced the works which eventually made him famous. These were his Manual of Political Ethics (2 vols, 1838-39), Legal and Political Hermaneutics (1839), and On Civil Liberty and Self-Government (2 vols, 1853)."--DAB. Dorfman calls this Lieber's "first great effort...one of the most comprehensive defenses of the rights of property, including especially corporations, that had as yet appeared."

Mackie (b. 1813) studied at the University of Berlin, 1833-1834. He was the author of a number of semi-popular works (biographies, travel narratives, &c.). EP describes Guhrauer's work (2 vols, 1842) as "the only full-scale life" of Leibniz.

Macpherson (c. 1726-92) also published an autobigoraphy (1789), a directory of Philadelphia (1785), and an Introduction to the Study of Natural Philosophy (1782), among other works. He credits the Philadelphia minister Samuel Magaw with converting him from youthful Deist views. Of the three sections here--additional lectures were apparently envisioned--the first is concerned with demonstrating the divinity of Christ, the second is on "benevolence," and the last on "discretion," i.e. judgment.

A "Notice" on the verso of the title reads, in part: "The following abstract is printed for the exclusive benefit and convenience of the students of this Institution who attend upon my instruction, and not at all for the public eye.... The work is printed but not published. The occasion of the printing of the lectures, was this. The students were copying them at great labor and expense of time. To save these they agreed to be at the expense of printing them. Asa Mahan." "His points are ably presented, and the Abstract especially...shows exceptional ability in developing, recapitulating, and driving home his topics with all the resources of a skilled teacher."--Fay.

Mahan (1799-1869), at this time President of Oberlin College, joined the growing chorus critical of Edwards' deterministic psychology. "The important outcome for philosophy of this psychological critique [by Mahan and others] of Edwards was not the argument against free will or the defense of orthodoxy, but the founding of a faculty psychology and of an appeal to introspection. This method of approach to 'mental philosophy' dominated at least two generations of philosophers, created a new 'science,' and profoundly affected the course of academic studies in philosophy."--Schneider.

Shoemaker 38222. Widely held by institutions, this edition is quite uncommon in trade (unlike the 2nd American edition of 1840). This work was important for introducing a species of Idealism into American thought. Marsh's essay was widely read and had great influence upon American Transcendentalism. Charles Follen wrote to Marsh in 1832 that this edition "with the excellent prefatory aids had...and will do much to introduce and naturalize a better philosophy in this country...[one] which cannot be had cheap and handy in the works of the Scotch and English dealers in philosophy."

Mercer (1791-1846) was the daughter of Gov. John Mercer of Maryland. She spent most of her adult life as a teacher in Virginia despite holding strong anti-slavery sentiments. The Dedication here is dated Dec. 1837, but this appears to be the first and only printing. The last 3 pages here comprise a "Catalog For a Young Lady's Library."

The preface by Mills is dated 1829. The editor has abridged the work slightly, provided translations of the Greek and Latin quotations, and added interrogatives in the form of footnotes on virtually every page. Mills (1796-1867), the editor of a number of popular textbooks of aesthetics and rhetoric (e.g. Blair, Alison and Kames, in addition to Burke), taught mathematics and philosophy at the Baptist literary and theological institution in New York City which eventually (1823) became part of Madison (now Colgate) University in Hamilton, N.Y.

"It may be interesting to my readers to know something of the genesis of this book. Twelve years ago, in St. Louis, a little band of women used to assemble every week to study and discuss the problems of philosophy. I led the circle as teacher and learner.... At the end of two years, the circle in St. Louis was exchanged for one in Denver, but with unabated interest on my part and that of my co-workers. At their request, the verbal exposition became a written one, and finally developed into its present form."--from the author's Preface. Mitchell acknowledges, especially, the help of William Torrey Harris. The work is dedicated to "the Kant Club of Denver."

Murdock (1766-1856), "the neglected historian" of American Transcendentalism is highly critical of the movement, not for its Idealism, but for straying from the principles of Kant. Kant attempted to establish the parameters of knowledge, so as to make it truly scientific and to properly mark out the province of logic. The Transcendentalists, on the other hand, sought that "which not only goes beyond empiricism, but surpasses the boundaries of human knowledge. It expatiates in the region of imaginary truth. It is, therefore, falsely called science; it is the opposite of true philosophy."--Riley (1905).

Nott and Gliddon (1854) combined on a voluminous study entitled Types of Mankind in which it was argued that the races of man were separately created species, and that each possessed a 'constant and undeviating' physical and moral nature which could be changed only by interbreeding."--Harris, The Rise of Anthropological Theory.

Peabody (1847-1936), a peripheral member of the famous Metaphysical Club, exercised considerable influence on the tenor of philosophy at Harvard as Parkman Professor of Theology and later Plummer Professor of Christian Morals. In 1883 he instituted "what was probably the first systematic course on Christian social ethics at an American university" and in 1906 founded the department of social ethics at Harvard, a precursor of the sociology department. "Peabody best expresses the theoretical basis of his teaching in The Approach to the Social Question (1909)."--DAB. For a thorough study of Peabody's influence, see Potts, "Social Ethics at Harvard, 1881-1931, in Social Sciences at Harvard,, edited by Buck, (pp. 91-128)

Given originally as the Lowell Lectures in 1879, they were reprinted at the Peabody Institute in 1880, at which time C.S. Peirce was teaching at Johns Hopkins. The lectures "presented an evolutionary theory of the universe which anticipated the essentials, with the exception of a theory of probability, of what [his son] Charles was to write in "Design and Chance" (1884), "A Guess at the Riddle" (1887), and his Monist papers (1881-93). Benjamin proposed that the evolution of the universe is structured mathematically by means of a 'law of continuity' in such a manner that the process of science is recursively arranged the transition from 'unconscious induction' to the conscious activity of hypothesis, both of which exist within a preexisting harmony."-- Brent.

Rare, and a cornerstone of American philosophy. Includes contributions by Christine Ladd, Allan Marquand (2), O.H. Mitchell, and B.I. Gilman, in addition to Peirce's "A Theory of Probable Inference" (pp. 126-181). Peirce also added a Preface and a number of significant notes to the volume. The volume's scarcity is indicated by a statement by Eschenbach in a recent reprint of the work (Amsterdam/Philadelphia, 1983) that there is apparently only one copy recorded in West German libraries.

Divided into three sections: "The Scope of Language," a review of the history of the philosophy of religion from the Pre-Socratics through the mid-19th century (pp. 3-207); "The Nature of Perception," devoted exclusively to an analysis of the views of Spencer and Lewes (pp. 211-363); and "The Religion of Philosophy," a survey of religious belief and an elaboration of the author's own veiws (pp. 367-566). This last section concludes with an unusual chapter, an "Appeal to the Women of the United States in Behalf of the Religion of Philosophy" (pp. 551-566): "Recognizing, therefore, the ascendency which woman is gaining in the intellectual, in and which she has always had in the moral, world, it is with women that we would plead the cause of Philosophy, which is the only true religion."

Elizabeth Stryker Ricord (1788-1865) married (1810) John Baptiste Ricord-Madianna, older brother of the celebrated French physician Philippe Ricord. The marriage was not a happy one and the couple separated in 1823. Shortly thereafter, Mrs. Ricord established the Geneva (N.Y.) Female Seminary and the present volume is based upon her lectures there. The work is notable for its acknowledgement of gender differences in personality, which Ricord attributes mainly to differences in education. Generally considered the first treatise of mental philosophy by an American woman (but see Beecher and Griffiths above).

Verplanck (1786-1870), a distinguished lawyer "was, perhaps, the outstanding intellectual figure of his time among the descendants of the Dutch settlers of New York." (Blau). His most important philosophical work is Essays on the Nature and Uses of the Various Evidences of Revealed Religion (1824).

Wayland (1796-1865) was chosen President of Brown University in 1827. He was the author of widely-used textbooks on moral and mental philosophy and on political economy. "Even before the first of these texts, however, Wayland made a little-known contribution to the cause of Scottish realism in America in his Discourse on the Philosophy of Analogy.... Essentially what Wayland did in this address was to attempt the creation of a logic of science in terms of his philosophic background."--Blau, American Philosophic Addresses, reprinting the text.

Evans 29874. West (1730-1807), who served as an army chaplain during the American Revolution, is perhaps best remembered for deciphering, for George Washington, a treasonous letter written in code by Benjamin Church intended for a British admiral. DAB calls the present work, which was written in the 1770's, "of all the replies to Edwards' Freedom of the Will...[the] most thorough and persuasive."

Contemporary owner's name on fly and top margin of title.

A fairly early American logic text. While professing great admiration for Hamilton, Wilson is critical of the notion of quantification of the predicate and has little use for the new mathematical logic of De Morgan (Boole is not mentioned). Wilson was the sole member of the Cornell philosophy department from 1868 to 1886 (see DAB).

Very scarce. Wright was an associate of Darwin, C.S. Peirce and William James. He was instrumental in gaining acceptance for the theory of evolution in the U.S. He was an unrelenting critic of Herbert Spencer. A trained mathematician, Wright was associated with the Nautical Almanac for over twenty years. He lectured at Harvard in 1879 (on psychology) and 1874 (mathematical physics). He published no books during his lifetime. This posthumous collection includes most of the longer articles which Wright published in various periodicals, plus two unpublished papers.

This 1878 imprint is perhaps even scarcer than the 1877 printing: NUC records 3 copies versus 15 of the earlier printing.

WRIGHT, C. Letters of.... With Some Account of His Life by James Bradley Thayer. Privately Printed. Cambridge: John Wilson & Son, 1878, 1st ed. Small 8vo. viii, 392 pp. Index. Orig. cloth, some wear to extremities, inner hinges broken.

With bookplate of one Russell Gray and signature dated 1878.

(WRIGHT, C.) Volume on Wright compiled, apparently, by Henry W. Holland, comprising a cabinet photo, an autograph note from Wright to Holland, articles and obituaries extracted from periodicals (mounted on paper), and Thomas Dwight's "Remarks On the Brain, Illustrated by the Description of the Brain of a Distinguished Man [i.e. C. Wright]". [N.p.] 1885. 8vo. Old plain wraps. Wraps and mounts very browned and brittle, contents very good..

Holland commenced private study with Wright in 1863 and their friendship continued until the latter's death in 1875. Holland's recollections of Wright are included in the Letters (pp. 214-215): "He used to bring me his writings, or read them to me in his room, particularly of late years, welcoming any suggestion or criticism...." The note here, to which a date of 1869 has been supplied, concerns an invitation to dine with Holland, which Wright accepts despite a lingering case of whooping cough. The obituaries includes ones by James and Fiske, and most of a lengthy one in the New York Nation (May 17, 1877) which is identified as the work of Holland. The account of the autopsy is rare.

WRIGHT, R.J. Principia or Basis of Social Science. Being a Survey of the Subject from the Moral and Theological, Yet Liberal and Progressive Stand-Point. Second Edition. Phila.: J.B. Lippincott & Co., 1876. 8vo. xxix, [1], [19]-524 pp., plus 13 pages of "Notices" at front. Orig. bevelled cloth, some soiling and shelfwear, tight and internally clean.

See L.I. & Jessie Bernard, Origins of American Sociology (1943), pp. 274-309 for a discussion of Wright's commutarian ideas. He constructs an elaborate sociological apparatus after the manner of Spencer, whom he admires. The analysis leads to an espousal of "Limited Communism" which comprises his final division of the subject (pp. 433-524). Wright's views most closely resemble those of Fourier.

YOUNG, AUGUSTUS. Unity of Purpose, or Rational Analysis: Being a Treatise Designed to Disclose Physical Truths, and to Detect and Expose Popular Errors. Boston: Pr. by N. Dickinson & Co., 1846. 1st ed. Tall 8vo. 292 pp. Orig. cloth, some wear to extremities.
