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.
