Abstract
SINCE I addressed a preliminary memoir to you on this subject,1 so much curious matter has reached me that I trust you will permit me to state my views afresh, and to deduce some inferences. Many of my readers do not and cannot visualise, and few have the habit in a pronounced degree. I must, however, beg them not to consider their own minds as identical with those of every other sane and healthy person. Psychologists ought to inquire into the mental habits of other men with as little prejudice as if they were inquiring into those of animals of different species to their own, and should be prepared to find much in many cases that is quite unlike their own personal experience.
