Eighth edition. Octavo. 396 pp. Publisher's blind-stamped brown cloth with gilt spine lettering, pale yellow endpapers. Even toning throughout and a very old paper sticker to base of spine. A very nice copy indeed.Thomas Cogswell Upham was born in Deerfield, New Hampshire, the son of a trader. He attended Dartmouth College (B.A. 1818) and the divinity school at Andover, where he began his academic career as an assistant in the department of Hebrew. In 1824 he became professor of mental and moral philosophy at Bowdoin College in Maine, a post that he held until 1867. His textbooks were frequently republished in the nineteenth century. "At Bowdoin he was one of the best known teachers in a rather distinguished faculty. Although he came to his professorship from a pastorate, he soon gave up preaching and public speaking, and made his strong religious influence felt in the classroom, in small groups of students, and with individuals. He was actively interested in the social reforms of the day, was an earnest and liberal patron of the colonization of Negroes, a strong supporter of the temperance movement, and one of the earliest American advocates of international peace, collaborating with William Ladd and writing one of the essays published in Prize Essays on a Congress of Nations (1840). Upham was an important figure in the holiness movement and influential within psychology literature. His most popular work was "A Philosophical and Practical Treatise on the Will". It has been called "one of the first original and comprehensive contributions of American scholarship to modern psychology" (Foster, post, p. 249). This work and a succeeding volume, "Outlines of Imperfect and Disordered Mental Action" (1840), made him to be regarded more as a psychologist than a theologian, and did much to liberate American philosophy and theology from the thraldom of the elder Jonathan Edwards" (Prabook).
