He glanced round at the shady cabin, took down a book from the shelf before him, puffed his black cigar and began to read. "It is from one of your own people William James; what you call a 'Hibbert Lecture' at Manchester College. It gives you an idea, at least, of what Fechner saw. It is better than my own words."
