A large part of the research in the history of psychology essential for this project was made possible by a Fellowship for College Teachers and Independent Scholars, generously awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities for the academic year 1994–95. I am grateful for that support, and especially for the virtuous patience of the Endowment, which enabled me to take time rethinking, rewriting, and vastly improving the manuscript throughout the next decade. I am grateful, too, for the helpful comments of three anonymous readers, and for the editorial direction of Peter Momtchiloff. Of immeasurable benefit to me also has been the skeptical, empiricist spirit of my wife and thinking partner, Elizabeth Radcliffe. She helps me see the sensible world, at least, through Humean eyes.
