Contains Harold Schlosberg's "Three Dimensions of Emotion"; Roy R. Grinker's "Anxiety"; Nathaniel Kleitman's "The Role of the Cerebral Cortex in the Development and Maintenance of Consciousness"; George Robinson's "Aesthetics."
Scottish realist and associationist theory of aesthetics, important in its day, in which the author strove to show that beauty is not a quality of things considered as existing apart from the mind. The article on 'beauty' in 19th century editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica by Francis Jeffrey derives principally from Alison's book.
Grinstein #1706. A study of poetic symbolism in the works of Emile Verhaeren. An early psychoanalytic work on aesthetics & possibly the first with the term "aesthetic" in the title.

Scottish common-sense philosopher, colleague of Reid's, and professor of moral philosophy at Marischal College, Aberdeen from 1860, Beattie was famous for his refutation of Hume in his 1778 Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth. "An important, albeit minor figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, Beattie had the misfortune usually to be on the wrong side in his controversies — he opposed Hume and sided with Macpherson in the dispute over Ossian" [Rieber catalog #37].
The first important 19th century work on emotional expression. In his Expression of the Emotions Darwin demolished Bell's belief that emotional expression functions differently in man than in animals.
Apparently Catlow's only book. With a printed dedicatory leaf dated 1853, on the verso of which is a printed notice (dated January 1867) stating that the author's sudden death occasioned the omission of side notes in part of the manuscript.Hopelessly obscure (I cannot find a single reference to it), Catlow's is nonetheless an extraordinary book, being at once a treatise on what is now called holistic medicine, a treatise on aesthetics, and a treatise on developmental psychology. Catlow's notions of susceptibility and sensibility directly prefigure Piaget's concepts of accomodation and assimilation — indeed, his entire discussion of the hierarchical development of mental life reads like Piaget. His lengthy discussion of infant psychology is astute and generations ahead of what anybody else was writing in the 1860s. His treatment of desire and volition is equally profound. He knows that dreams are wish-fulfillment (p. 298), that they guard sleep, and that dream images must derive from prior sensation or thought.
