First edition in English, first published 1863-1864. A significant appearance in English considering the establishment of Sully’s laboratory at University College London in 1898, Wundt’s lectures developed a scientific link between psychology and anatomy through experiments on sensation, by which means he approached mental phenomena including dreams, consciousness, free will, and immortality, i.e. the imperishability of the mind.

The co-translator Titchener was one of Wundt’s students.

William Beckford’s copy of a later edition of Zinzerling’s Itinerarium Galliae (1616), describing several years of travelling in France, England and the Low Countries, with an attractive series of city views which appear here for the first time.
