Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated About Washington Square by Henry JamesWashington Square is a short novel by Henry James. Originally published in 1880 as a serial in Cornhill Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine, it is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, unemotional father. The plot of the novel is based upon a true story told to James by his close friend, British actress Fanny Kemble. The book is often compared with Jane Austen's work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. James was not a great fan of Washington Square itself. He tried to read it over for inclusion in the New York Edition of his fiction (1907–1909) but found that he could not, and the novel was not included. Other readers, though, have sufficiently enjoyed the book to make it one of the more popular works of the Jamesian canon.
  • Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking

    William James

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, June 18, 2018)
    Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that began in the United States around 1870. Its origins are often attributed to the philosophers William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce. Peirce later described it in his pragmatic maxim: "Consider the practical effects of the objects of your conception. Then, your conception of those effects is the whole of your conception of the object."

  • Talks To Teachers On Psychology: And To Students On Some Of Life's Ideals

    Paperback (NuVision Publications, LLC, Aug. 15, 2008)
    More than 100 years after it was published, "Talks to Teachers on Psychology," is relevant and helpful for teachers and those who aspire to teach. In this article, I highlight certain memorable points in "Talks" and relate them to James's (1890) classic work, "The Principles of Psychology." Many of James's insights foreshadowed certain emphases of present-day researchers, and his observations on teaching are as germane now as they were more than a century ago.

Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...in the Yorkshire woollen factories, being placed behind the L.P. cylinder of tandem engines. The air pump is placed in the base of the condenser, and a nearly full length opening is left below the tube surface in order to prevent short circuit. The degree of vacuum secured is very good, and may be explained by the careful well considered points of the design. The Atmospheric Valve. An important detail of a modern plant is the atmospherio automatic exhaust valve. This is a mushroom valve fitted with a balance lever and opening upwards. In case of failure of a condenser to act, the pressure of steam, which would rise to a dangerous degree and might burst a cast-iron condenser casing, raises the atmospheric valve and allows the steam to escape into the atmosphere. These valves, of which two illustrations are given, Fig. 45 of the valve made by Templer & Ranoe of Coventry, and Fig. 46 that made by Thomas Walker of Tewkesbury, should have an oil dashpot to restrain too rapid movement. The valve should have a should also be a glass water gauge to show the water level, and a supply pipe to keep up the water supply. It is usual to carry the atmospheric exhaust above the roof of the building. One such valve is applied to each engine sometimes, especially when of large size, or there may be one valve for a number of small engines when these exhaust to a common condenser. The atmospheric automatic valve may be replaced simply by a hand or motor-worked shut valve which provides merely an alternative route for the exhaust steam. In the valve of W. H. Spencer & Co. of Hitchin, Figs. 47, 48, hammering is guarded against by the peculiar arrangement of the seating shown in more detail in Fig. 49. It will be noticed that the valve must rise from its seat a dis tance ...

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 27, 2016)
    Pragmatism A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking By William James William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist who was also trained as a physician. The first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States, James was one of the leading thinkers of the late nineteenth century and is believed by many to be one of the most influential philosophers the United States has ever produced, while others have labelled him the "Father of American psychology". The lectures that follow were delivered at the Lowell Institute in Boston in November and December, 1906, and in January, 1907, at Columbia University, in New York. They are printed as delivered, without developments or notes. The pragmatic movement, so-called—I do not like the name, but apparently it is too late to change it—seems to have rather suddenly precipitated itself out of the air. A number of tendencies that have always existed in philosophy have all at once become conscious of themselves collectively, and of their combined mission; and this has occurred in so many countries, and from so many different points of view, that much unconcerted statement has resulted. I have sought to unify the picture as it presents itself to my own eyes, dealing in broad strokes, and avoiding minute controversy. Much futile controversy might have been avoided, I believe, if our critics had been willing to wait until we got our message fairly out.
