Psychology: The Motive Powers, Emotions, Conscience, WillC. Scribner's sons, 1887 - 267 Seiten "In this volume, I unfold the characteristics of the motive powers, as they are called the orective, the appetent, the impulsive powers; the feelings, the sentiments, the affections, the heart, as distinguished from the Gnostic, the cognitive, the intellect, the understanding, the reason, the head. These motive powers fall under three heads: the emotions, the conscience, the will. It is not to be understood that these are unconnected with each other, or with the cognitive; emotions contain an idea which is cognitive. The conscience may be regarded as combining characteristics of each of the two grand classes; being cognitive as discerning good and evil, and motive as leading to action; the will has to use the other powers as going on to action. Emotion occupies more room than the other two in this treatise, inasmuch as its operations are more varied, and as the account usually given of it (so it appears to me) is more defective"--Introduction.

Seite 123 - This exudation is all the more remarkable, as the surface is then cold, and hence the term a cold sweat ; whereas, the sudorific glands are properly excited into action when the surface is heated.

Seite 105 - Persons suffering from excessive grief often seek relief by violent and almost frantic movements, as described in a former chapter; but when their suffering is somewhat mitigated, yet prolonged, they no longer wish for action, but remain motionless and passive, or may occasionally rock themselves to and fro. The circulation becomes languid ; the face pale ; the muscles flaccid ; the eyelids droop; the head hangs on the contracted chest ; the lips, cheeks, and lower jaw all sink downwards from their...
