ceptions, first, that few men live at their maxi- mum of energy, and second, that anyone may be in vital equilibrium at very different rates of energizing, he will find, I think, that a very pretty practical problem of national economy, as _well as of individual ethics, opens upon his view. In rough terms, we may say that a man who en- ergizes belo...
Let no one think, then, that our problem of in- dividual and national economy is solely that of the maximum of pounds raisable against gravity, the maximum of locomotion, or of agitation of any sort, that human beings can accomplish. That might signify little more than hurrying and jumping about in inco-ordinated ways; whereas inner work, though it...

Morbid cases, here as elsewhere, lay the nor- mal machinery bare. In the first number of Dr. Morton Prince’s Journal of Abnormal Psy- chology, Dr. Janet has discussed five cases of morbid impulse, with an explanation that is precious for my present point of view.
