Per Wikipedia David Hartley Frs 1705 - 1757 Was An English Philosopher And Founder Of The Associationist School Of Psychology. Like John Locke He Asserted That Prior To Sensation The Human Mind Is A Blank Slate. By A Growth From Simple Sensations Those States Of Consciousness Which Appear Most Remote From Sensation Come Into Being. And The One Law Of Growth Of Which Hartley Took Account Was The Law Of Contiguity Synchronous And Successive. By This Law He Sought To Explain Not Only The Phenomena Of Memory Which Others Had Similarly Explained Before Him But Also The Phenomena Of Emotion Of Reasoning And Of Voluntary And Involuntary Action. His Attempts At Explicit Albeit Somewhat Obvious Analysis Of The Mechanics Of Mental Activity Laid An Important Framework Of Discussion For Subsequent Academic Psychology. <br/> <br/> J.

1798100653All 4 full-page copperplate engravings after Fuseli signed by Blake as the engraver. London: J. Johnson 1798. All 4 full-page copperplate engravings after Fuseli signed by Blake as the engraver. Matted good impressions of the plates complete with the imprints untrimmed. § One of Blake’s scarcer works seldom seen in the trade or at auction; there was also a volume on English history published in the same year. We have had one other copy in the last seven years and one other separate set of the plates. The plates are strong and lively renditions of moments such as the death of Cleopatra; with the recent discovery of an original drawing by Fuseli for Allen’s English History now in the Essick Collection we now are quite sure that the illustrations for both volumes were drawn by Fuseli.
