About this book

Addresses and essays by William James, all already in print elsewhere, were gathered after his death and issued in 1911 as Memories and Studies. His son Henry James Jr. explains in a prefatory note that his father meant to republish such addresses and essays. Tributes to people include Louis Agassiz, Robert Gould Shaw, Francis Boott, Thomas Davidson and Frederick Myers. Others take up Herbert Spencer's autobiography, the Emerson centenary, the mental effects of an earthquake, the energies of men, the moral equivalent of war, the social value of the college-bred, and university education, ending with A Pluralistic Mystic.
