Aside from a bit of old soiling to the upper spine, a very clean and handsome copy.Jackson, author, of the classic Ramona, was an advocate for Native American rights and this was her bid to help.

Jackson attended a meeting in Boston in 1879 at which Standing Bear, a Ponca, told how the federal government forcibly removed his tribe from its ancestral homeland in the wake of the creation of the Great Sioux Reservation. After meeting Standing Bear, she conducted research at the Astor Library in New York and was shocked by the story of government mistreatment that she found" (Wiki)

Small octavo (203 x 137 mm.). ix, [2], 303, [1] pp. Publisher's blue cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering, top edge gilt, remainder uncut. A lovely copy."Beginning in 1891, William James gave frequent lectures to teachers in which he explained the psychology he had developed in his "Principles of Psychology" and offered suggestions on applying the science of psychology to the art of education. Similarly, beginning in 1895, James delivered a series of lectures to college students -- generally at schools for women -- on education and its purposes. In 1899, James gathered both sets of lectures together and published them as "Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals." The book was read widely and became financially successful for James." (R. Friedman). This copy's margins are considerably larger than other copies we have seen.
