Illusions
James Sully (1842-1923) was an English psychologist. He was born at Bridgwater, and was educated at the Independent College, Taunton, the Regent's Park College, University of Gottingen and Humboldt University, Berlin. Originally destined for the Nonconformist ministry, in 1871 he adopted a literary and philosophic career. He was Grote professor of the philosophy of mind logic at University College, London, from 1892 to 1903, when he was succeeded by Carveth Read. An adherent of the associationist school of psychology, his views had great affinity with those of Alexander Bain. His monographs, as that on pessimism, are ably and readably written, and his textbooks, of which The Human Mind (1892) is the most important, are models of sound exposition. Amongst his other works are Sensation and Intuition (1874), Pessimism (1877), Illusions (1881), Outlines of Psychology (1884), Teacher's Handbook of Psychology (1886), Studies of Childhood (1895), Children's Ways (1897) and An Essay on Laughter (1902).

Revolutionary developments in science during the mid- and late nineteenth century—including the discoveries and writings of Herbert Spencer, William Carpenter, and George Henry Lewes—had a vital impact on fiction writers of the time. Wilkie Collins, George Eliot, George Meredith, and Henry James read contributions in what we now call cognitive science that asked, "what is the mind?" These Victorian fiction writers took a crucial step, asking how we ex...
