Benjamin Henry Latrobe was born in 1764 at Fulneck in Yorkshire. He was the Second son of the Reverend Benjamin Latrobe (1728 - 86), a minister of the Moravian church, and Anna Margaretta (Antes) Latrobe (1728 - 94), a third generation Pennsylvanian of Moravian Parentage. The original Latrobes had been French Huguenots who had settled in Ireland at the end of the 17th Century. Whilst he is most noted for his work on The White House and the Capitol in Washington, he introduced the Greek Revival as the style of American National architecture. He built Baltimore cathedral, not only the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in America but also the first vaulted church and is, perhaps, Latrobes finest monument. Hammerwood Park achieves importance as his first complete work, the first of only two in this country and one of only five remaining domestic buildings by Latrobe in existence. It was built as a temple to Apollo, dedicated as a hunting lodge to celebrate the arts and incorporating elements related to Demeter, mother Earth, in relation to the contemporary agricultural revolution.

  • Henry James, Sr., and William James
    FATHERS AND SONS, TEXTS AND CONTEXTS: HENRY JAMES, SR., AND WILLIAM JAMES GEORGE CaTKIN California Polytechnic State University Becoming William James. By Howard M. Feinstein. Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 1984. 384 pages. $24.95. The Iron ofMelancholy: Structures ofSpiritual Conversion in America from the Puritan Conscience to Victorian Neurosis. By John O. King III. Middletown: Wesleyan University Press, 1983. 450 pages. $37.50. THE RESONANT THEME OF FATHER-AND-SON CONFLICT DOMINATES HOWARD Feinstein's analysis of William James's crisis of vocation and accompanying maladies of the body and spirit. While John O. King's work is more daring in interpretation and wider in scope-seeking to erect a new paradigm for American Studies and ranging from the Puritan confessionals to close readings of Josiah Royce, James J. Putnam, and Max Weber-it also evaluates the relationship between Henry James, Sr., and William James. This review will, therefore, in order to highlight the methodological and evidentiary importance of these books, focus upon their authors' respective evaluations ofWilliam James, his conflict with his father, his vocational and emotional crises, and the bearing ofthese trials upon his later psychological and philosophical work. The phylogeny ofJames family v,4)cational conflict and accompanying neurosis was recapitulated in the ontogeny of William James. The roots of this conflict, as carefully traced by Feinstein, began with the scion ofthe family, William James of Albany. Calvinistic in his religion and attitude, a self-made and successful businessman, William of Albany sought to force his son Henry into the study of law. A struggle of immense psychic proportions ensued, as Henry alternatively acceded to and broke from his father's iron will.

  • William James and the French Correspondent in the Varieties
    A MANNERED MEMORY AND TEACHABLE MOMENT: WILLIAM JAMES AND THE FRENCH CORRESPONDENT IN THE VARIETIES ________________________________________________________________ PAUL J. CROCE ABSTRACT Traditional views of the “French … correspondent” reporting panic fear in the Varieties portray the anonymous William James in crisis followed by a Charles Renouvier-inspired commitment to free will, as a first step in his philosophical career. Revisionists propose that the intellectual path was less important than his personal troubles, and that the incident did not even happen prior to the philosophical commitment. There is, however, no evidence of the incident’s timing at all. Instead, the stylized and religious tone of the writing suggests that it is a composite and mannered memory drawn from a lifetime of experience and learning from moods of weakness and despair, which James enlisted to display the attractions of redemption for the “sick soul” temperament. In telling the story, James drew on both his personal difficulties and his intellectual development to create a potent teachable moment in his book on religious experience. How irrelevantly remote seem all our usual refined optimisms and intellectual and moral consolations in the presence of a need of help like this! Here is the real core of the religious problem: Help! help! ─William James, 1902, Varieties 135 After a few month one feels well again, or at any rate, one can work again, and so one staggers on. ─William James, 1904, Varieties 507 I had a crisis … which was more philosophical than theological…. Why God waits on our cooperation is not to be fathomed—but as a fact of experience I believe it.

HILGARD Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1965 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ROBERT MEARNS YERKES May 26,1876-February 3,1956 BY ERNEST R. HILGARD 1 HE CAREER of Robert Mearns Yerkes well represents the Tdevelopment of American psychology during the first half of the century—a development in which he played a leading part. His investigations of the behavior of infrahuman animals, especially the higher primates, for which he is best known, helped maintain and emphasize the strong biological cast of American psychology. His original work with animals ante- dated the rise of behaviorism, took Gestalt psychology in its stride, and remained throughout in the broad evolutionary, physiological, and functional tradition that he called compar- ative psychobiology. This tradition, as he lived it, was objective in method, but without any restrictive negatives about the ap- propriate subject matter of psychology. As he saw it, psychology dealt with man also, including self-observation, and as the psy- chologist primarily responsible for the development of the mental testing program in the army during World War I, he left his mark on an important development in human psychol- i His own autobiography (through 1929) is "Robert Mearns Yerkes, Psycho- biologist," in C. Murchison, ed., History of Psychology in Autobiography, 2(1932):381-407.

  • Univefsi^ Micrcxilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. Whfle the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subnutted. The foUoudng explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary to b e ^ filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
