Evidence: | Herbert Spencer to Alfred Tennyson [1855]:
'I happened recently to be re-reading your Poem "The Two Voices," and coming to the verse
'Or if thro' lower lives I came --
Tho' all experience past became
Consolidate in mind and frame --
'it occurred to me that you might like to glance through a book which applies to the elucidation of mental science, the hypothesis to which you refer. I therefore beg your acceptance of Psychology which I send by this post.' |
