Sensation and Intuition: Studies in Psychology and Æsthetics

Abstract

A YOUNG aspirant to the woolsack had as part of his first examination the question, “To whom was the Declaration of Rights presented?” To refresh his memory he cast his eyes on the paper of the gentleman on his left, who had written William I.; willing to give himself every advantage, he next stole a glance at the paper of the gentleman on his right, where he saw William III. “Ah!” thought he, with a knowing twinkle of the eye, “I'll strike the happy medium”—and down went William II. Mr. Sully, in the first of this collection of interesting essays, has struck the happy medium between the evolution and the individual experience psychologies.
