Description: Regrets not being able to see her, as he is between two country visits, and won't have the pleasure of seeing her or hearing of her experiences. "After all, would it do much good? We move on such different lives personally that neither can use much the way of seeing the other." Hope that her California experiences were good, and perhaps she might write of them briefly. William James (1842-1910), American psychologist and philosopher; elder brother of novelist Henry James. William James taught at Harvard from 1872-1907, first as lecturer on anatomy and physiology, later on psychology and philosophy. At the time psychology was considered to be a branch of philosophy, but James brought a scientific and experimental element to the subject, and is credited with creating the framework of modern experimental psychology. His textbook, The Principles of Psychology (1890), remained the standard for many years. He is best known for his development of the philosophy of Pragmatism, the first independently developed American philosophy
