* JAMES. no JAMESON. republished it in greatly enlarged form and rc- entitled A Full and Convcl Account of the Chief Kuval Uccurrenves of the Lute War liciween (treat Britain and the United States of America. A year later (1818) lie publislied the companion work, A Full and Correct Account of the Military Occurrences of the Late War lietucen (jreat Britain and the Vnitcd Slates of America, and followed this in 1810 with a pamphlet entitled Warden- liefutcd, being a Defense of the liriiish Havy against the Misreiircsentatioiis of a Work recently published at Edinburgh * * ' by O. li. Warden, late Consul for the United Stales at I'aris. In this same year he began his chief work. The Naval History of Great Britain from the Declaration of War by France in IT!).! to the Accession of George IV., which was originally published in 18-i2-24 in five volumes, but was republished in 1820 in six volumes, and again in 1837 also in six volumes, but including addi- tional matter relating to the first Burmese War and to the battle of Navarino written by Captain Frederick Charnicr. As an historian. .James de- serves the greatest credit for the fidelity and thoroughness with which he did his work. He spared no pains to consult all original British sources; consequently his histories, in so far as they deal with British sulijects, are accepted as authoritative. Unfortunately, however, his nar- row patriotism, and especially his animosity against the Americans, greatly impair the value of his work when he is dealing with foreigners. JAMES, WiLLi.VM (1842—). An American psycholcigi^rt and philosopher, son of Henry James, the theologian, and brother of Henry James, the novelist. He was born in New York City, January II, 1842; was educated in private schools and by tutors in New York and Europe; studied at the Lawrence Scientific School, and obtained the M.D. degree from Harvard in 1870. He has received the hon<irarv degree of LL.D. from Princeton, and that of Ph. et Litt. D. from Padua. In 1872 he began to teach at Harvard as instructor, and afterwards became professor. At first his subjects were anatomy and physi- ology, then philosophy, later psychology, and then again philosophy. He was appointed to a full professorship in 1881. Besides numerous articles in medical and scientific journals, Wil- liam .James has written: Principles of Psychol- ogy (1890) ; Psychology, Briefer Course (1802) ; The Will to Bclierc, and Other Essays in Pojiiilar Philosophy (1807); Human Immortality: Two Supposed Objections to the Doctrine (1808); Talks to Teachers on Psychology, and to Stu- dents mi Some of Life's Ideals (1800); The Varieties of Religious Experience ( 1902). He also edited the Literary I{cmai>is of Henry James (1885). He was chosen GifTord lecturer on nat- ural religion, I^niversity of Edinburgh (1890- 1901). .James's writings are characterized by .1 fresh and entertaining style, and by lucid ex- position of abstruse themes. As a psychologist he has exercised a potent influence in Europe as well as .-Vmerica. His work is especially signifi- cant in the field of analytical psychology, in which .Tames has had few equals; several im- portant theories in this field pass under his name. In philosophy his work has been eon- fined to studies in metaphysical analysis notable for keenness and originality, but deficient as a systematic presentation from a consistent point of view. The trend of his thought is strongly idealistic, though his idealism is empirical as op- posed til the alis(dute idealism of the Cermans. JAMES BAY. The .southern arm of Hudson Bay (q.v.)
