First edition. Groundbreaking medical treatise. This exceptional little treatise went well beyond the general psychosomatic notions of the period to classify the passions into two categories on the bases of their physiological effect and therapeutic possibilities: those that increase the force of the heart and arteries and therefor act as stimulants; and those that depress the body, producing a sedative effect. Used appropriately and in a dosage adapted to the strength of the patient, the anticipation of later developments in associationist psychology, visual phenomenology, and sensory-motor psychophysiology. Was thought to be the most original American contribution to psychology before William James. FORN-Shelf-559-RAREA1812EMNA-variant
