Sully James
James Sully (March 3, 1842 - 1923) was an English psychologist. He was born at Bridgwater, and was educated at the Independent College, Taunton, the Regent's Park College, University of Göttingen and Humboldt University, Berlin. Originally destined for the Nonconformist ministry, in 1871 he adopted a literary and philosophic career. He was Grote professor of the philosophy of mind logic at University College, London, from 1892 to 1903, when he was succeeded by Carveth Read. An adherent of the associationist school of psychology, his views had great affinity with those of Alexander Bain. His monographs, as that on pessimism, are ably and readably written, and his textbooks, of which The Human Mind (1892) is the most important, are models of sound exposition.

Originally published in 1897, The present edition has been carefully revised throughout, largely re-written and enlarged by about 50 pages. The new branch of the science known as child-psychology has been more fully drawn upon, from the conviction that it is only when teachers have made a careful study of the spontaneous movements of children's minds during the first years that they are likely to find their way readily to the minds of older children, which preserve many more survivals of the earlier mental characteristics than most of us are wont to suppose. The practical applications have purposely been left in the form of general prescriptions, which have to be filled in by the lecturer at the training college with the concrete facts of the students own experience.........Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern e

Excerpt from book: Ill THE OBSESSION OF ROME THE word " obsession " is apt to suggest something more or less abnormal, a dangerous restriction of thought and feeling within some limited field of interest to the disregard of other mattersespecially those of greater practical moment. Yet there are absorbing preoccupations, cutting us off for a time from most of our habitual concerns, which may not only be as harmless as healthy dreams, but, as refreshing diversions of the spirit from customary affairs, may be distinctly recreative and beneficial. Of such are the happy obsessions into which some of us fall when travelling in a new country. We are laid hold of and filled for the time by what feeds and expands the soul. Whether that which lays its enchantment upon us is the peasant- life of Norway, the architecture of some old Flemish town, or the art of Venice or Florence, the self roves out into new paths, enlarging itself by a development of fresh ideas and fresh sympathies. Under the spell of such a new revelation, perception, imagination, and reflective thought acquire a new bent. Our present surroundings become for us our adopted world, and our old familiar one seems to recede into the dimness of a memory. A spell that amounts to this engrossing and dreamlike transportation of self to a new world is more than an ordinary fascination. In Italy, for example, we maybe fascinated again and again by a passing sight, such as a mother crooning over a child, a pair of cypresses piercing the glory of sunset, or a head in a Florentine picture, and yet never reach the more lasting and profound subjection of a mind obsessed. Such momentary fascinations may, to be sure, by contributing vivid impressions, minister to the growth of an obsession; yet even when they occur with some frequency they do not i... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
