Philosopher and psychologist (1842–1910) and brother of novelist Henry James. William James taught philosophy at Harvard and became known as one of the founders of pragmatism. His major works include The Principles of Psychology, The Varieties of Religious Experience, and The Meaning of Truth. ALS signed “Wm. James,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, May 19, 1897. James writes to Mr. Atkinson. In part: “Pray don’t forget your promise of procuring for me as my reward one of the big photographs from the play—I wish indeed I might have two, one for my brother Henry in London—and more particularly the one taken from a somewhat front position that shows Shaw’s face and figure not in absolute profile.” A hint of subtle scattered soiling, otherwise fine, bright condition.
