This rare text contains two of William James's sermons, an outline of his life by Rev. Wm. B. Sprague, a review of his character and life written by Rev. Henry Neill, and two personal letters. Published for the sake of his friends and in the hope that a wider circle of readers may find strength for the spiritual life he embraced so passionately, this fascinating insight into the life of the great William James constitutes a must-have for anyone interested in this great man. William James was an influential philosopher and psychologist, widely considered to be the father of American psychology and one of the most important nineteenth century thinkers.
