Les images suivantes ont 6t6 reproduites avec le plus grand soin, compte tenu de la condition et de la nettet6 de l'exemplaire film6, et en conformity avec les conditions du contrat de filmage. Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed beginning with the front cover «tnd ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. Les exemplaires originaux dont la couverture en papier est imprim^e sont film^s en commenpant par le premier plat et en terminant soit par la dernidre page qui comporte une empreinte d'impression ou d'illustration, soit par le second plat, selon le cas. Tous les autres exemplaires originaux sont filmds en commenpant par la premidre page qui comporte une empreinte d'impression ou d'illustration et en terminant par la dernidre page qui comporte une telle empreinte. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol ^"»> (meaning "CON- TINUED "), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Un des symboles suivants apparaitra sur la dernidre image de cheque microfiche, selon le cas: le symbole — ♦► signifie "A SUIVRE", le symbole V signifie "FIN". Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required. The following diagrams illustrate the method: Les cartes, planches, tableaux, etc., peuvent etre filmds d des taux de reduction diff^rents. Lorsque le document est trop grand pour gtre reproduit en un seul clichd, il est film6 d partir de Tangle sup^rieur gauche, de gauche d droite, et de haut en bas, en prenant le nombre d'images n^cessaire.

These consideratioi.s .see.n to me conclusive aga'Mst the ilexry that the emotioud sate is depemlent upon the mental image, and the grounds given abuve seem also to establish the position that the state of the sexual secreting glands is the rea> determining cause of (he Amotion. This being the case we have n<-xt to ask with which ner%ous svsteni a-e the.se glands most intimately connected .' You know- what the answer to tl 'scpiestion is. Theovarie.s receive no nerves but from the sympathetic, and the t-stes, as we showed above, m-eive nerves from the cerdno-spinal system only because they are expo.sed a. id require to be en low.'d with sensibility for tlieir protection. But if .sympathetic nerxes l)e the connecting link between the organ whose coiulitioJi excites the emotion and the nerve centre in which that emotion arises, that ner\ous centre must be the .sympathetic ganglia. Hunger and tliitvt are probably true emotional states, anl the arguments which follow would apply to them as well hs to other emotiotial states having i'oi- their basis certain conditions of the stomadi, but a.s they are not hy anv means univers,iJly hioked ui^n as emotions I shall pa.«s over them ami proceed to di.scus.s those al terations in the moral nature ^hich are .lue to fullness and erni.tine.sii of the stomach.

Now to return to our old argument^the mor- bid action is m the supni-renal gland, the nerves which convey the impressions Nvhich excite emotional disturbance are necessarily here sympathetic nerves-- I he nerve centre m which the enu)tional disturbance takes place is therefore the sympathetic gfrngha-therefore the sympathetic ganglia are tiie nervous centre of emotional states. (■2) We ought next to consider the excitation of emotion by thoughts from aRS()ciation formed in the past of the species, or of the in.lividuai, but this su .;e;t IS so large and in a condeu.sed form would bo so little satisfactory that I fiav(; reluctantly conclmhid to omit it altogether. (3) The third and hwt cla.ss oi emotional excitants which we are to con- sider IS sense imi)ression8 acting uimn the moral nature without the intervention ot tli,.u,'lit. l.ie proper consideration of this part of the subject would alone occupy .«evenil Mich essays as I have time to reiul. 1 shah merely glance hastily atone instance of the class m.mtioned, namely: The excitation of cm.tions by sounds.

The noise of a camago ..n ttie street, of fowl in the yard, of steamboats and trains pa.ssing, these ami thousan.l.s of other ordinary souud.s, simply excite a ment,vl lecognition of what the sound proce.Mls from. But if you lie under pine trees on a summer's ei'forauHl rythmically. Now I tlo not mean to ar^vie that it is the great synqtathetic which excites the nuiscles to ac- tion in t^ie production of tlies" movements, but what I wouM sugge.st for your consideration is that the great ._ mpathetic being the I'cvi-vous system primarily excited it excites the cerebrospinal system by nutans of its elaborate connection \ R.

(3) Hate or rage if intense is nii^rked by jviUor and partial arrest oi tlic heart's action ; if moderate l)y tlushing ; if considerable but still not intens<' tin; ilushiug is extreme, the face becomes purple, the v(>ins of the neok find forelica I .swell. Monkeys as well as men are said to reddfu with jmssion. Some aii- tJiors say tJie pupils always eontrtict in j-jige, and this we can easily underst^ind for if the innscidar coat of tl e arteries is relaxed as it is shown to be by theili.-.- tention ot the ve.ssels, then the radiating Hbi-fs of the iris whicli are also sup ])lied by the .sympathetic, would l»e e(piaily in a sen i-paralyzcd state,and the. cii- cular tiiires which are supplied l»y the tliird nerve would have h-ss than usual to antagoaize their ordinary tonicity and the pupil would contract. In <>reai rage there is often trembling ; this ]»hen((menon J. shall considci- further nudci- the head <}f fear. The above mentioned are the primary signs of rag*; and tln-v jire all brought about through the symj)athetic. Other signs of ra'^c assiiarliii':. setting the teeth, clenching the tists. etc., are manifestly secondaiv ; thcs ."siili from intention iu our.selves or our ancestors of doing soniethiu" in conseoiiencc of rage and are not tlie direct effect of tlie i)assion itself. (4) The disturbanccis of function whith accompany fc;ir are fre<|nejit and feeble action of the heart, pallor, dilitation of tlu- pu|)ils. (1 wish von particn- iarly t-j remark that wiiereas in rage there is Ilushiug of the tkctiamlcontmctiou of the pupils, as I have shown aliove. in feaj- there is jiailor of tlie face and dili- tation of the pupils- -the nuLseular coats of the arteries iiud the nidiating hbres of the iris both being supi)liefl l)y the sympathetic, and Ixith being .stimulHted to contract under the intlueuce of terror, and lioth being ivlaxed in rage.) Jn feai- there is also suppression of the .salivary and gastric secitaions— extreme drvness of the month, and alisolut** abeyance of the apjKtite there is fieipiently increase, sometimes very marked of the urinary and intestinal secivtions. 'JVendiliug is one of the most charact(M'istic signs of fear. This is a movement of tlu.' volun tary nuiscles, but it is not a volinit^ry movement, the will having no control whatever over it. Trembling occurs in other emotional conditions besides fear, as in joy and ra ,.• — the shaking of ague though not associated with any ono- tional state is, 1 have no doubt, closely connected with emotional trenilding. No author with whose works I am acipiainted gives any exphmation of this l)henomenon. Were I to attempt one myself it would be that trembling is the peculiar movement of the voluntary muscular tissue when thrown into action not by its own proj)er nervous system, the cerebi-o-spinal, but by tlie sympathet- ic ; aufl I world argue that this was the correct view of the case— lirst, liecaus'' it is certain that trembling occurs when the sympiithetie is highly excited ; sec- ondly, l)ecause the cerelao-.spinal system cannot as far as we know cause such a movement, and cannot control it when caused ; and thu-dly, because of its pecu- liar rythmical character which allies it to other movements originatiri"- in the sympathetic, if I had time, which 1 have not at present, f could snpjiort these a,rguments by showing, I think conclusively, that ague, of which a iKH-nliar trendiling is one of the most |»roJui.ient symptoms, is certainly a functional (lis order of the great sympathetic ; and it is upon this fact that its peculi.ar p(>ri(,Mli city df>pends. With regard to the sweating ot gi-eat fear I have nt) ex|tlanatiou to otter, I will simply I'emai'k that when by division of sympat]ieti(; trunks .i part of the surface of vhe body is deprived of its e(aineeta)n withthe sympa- tlietic centres that pari of the surface is batheti in sweat.
