It is the object of the present Work to aid in promoting Holy Living. It will be noticed, that the principles of the Work take for granted, and every where imply, that man ought to be, and may be holy. Holiness is the one great thing, for which, above all others, man should live. It has been my desire in the following pages, some of which have already appeared in a periodical publication, to promote this great result. There are reasons of a personal nature, why I should not have written. There are other reasons, which none can appreciate but myself, which seemed to me imperatively to require it. If what is said is true, nothing but good can ultimately flow from it. If it be otherwise, it is my earnest supplication that He, who can bring good out of evil, will overrule the mistakes of human infirmity to the glory of his own name. U.

The Philosophy of theM ind has grown up, like other sciences, from smnll befpjuiings. Many proportions, coining too, in many inatucea, firom ahle viiten, han been thrown aside; truth has been siiled out from the mass of error, until at last a great nucaber of important principles is ascertained. But while it is exceedingly necessary that our youth (J iiould be made acquainted with these principles, it is iraposble that they should go throu with all the complicated discussions which ham been held mrespect to them. Many of the boolo in which these discussions are contiuned have become exceedingly nn ;itd if they were not ao, no amall number of students, who arc now in the course of as thorough an education as our country affords, would not be able to purchase them. And besides, by pladng before the student a mass of crude and conflicting statements, his mind becomes perplexed. To be able to resolve such a maas into its elements, and to separate truth from error, implies an acquaintance with the laws of the intellect, and a degree of mental discipline, which he is not yet supposed to have acquired; and hence, instead of obtaining much important knowledge, he becomes distrustful of everything. Now tiiese evils, saying nothing of the loss of time attendant on such a course, are to be remetU ed in the same way as in other sciences.

Francois de Salignac de la Mothe-Fenelon, was a French Roman Catholic archbishop, theologian, poet and writer. He today is remembered mostly as the author of The Adventures of Telemachus, first published in 1699. In Church history, Fenelon is known especially for his part in the Quietism debate with his earlier patron Bossuet. In his work Explication des maximes des Saints sur la vie interieure (Explanation of the Adages of the Saints on the Inner Life) in 1697, he defended Madame du Guyon, the main representative of Quietistic mysticism. He provided proof that her "heretical" teachings could also be seen in recognized saints. In 1697, Fenelon called on the pope for a decision in the Quietism debate. After long advisement, the Pope banned the Explication in 1699. Fenelon complied with the pope's decision immediately and allowed the remaining copies of his book to be destroyed.

Thomas Cogswell Upham was born at Deerfield, New Hampshire, a member of a distinguished family descended from John Upham who settled in Weymouth, Massachussets, in 1635. His father, Nathaniel Upham, served in Congress; one brother, Nathaniel, was a judge of the supreme court of New Hampshire; another, Francis, a well-known professor of mental philosophy at Rutgers Female College, New York. His mother was Judith Cogswell, daughter of Thomas Cogswell, of Gilmanton, New Hampshire.
Upham graduated from Dartmouth College in 1818, and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1821. He made there an outstanding record for indefatigable study and scholarship.
After his studies, Upham became tutor in Hebrew under Prof. Moses Stuart and in 1823 he published an excellent translation, Jahn's Biblical Archaeology, from the Latin of Johann Jahn, with additions and corrections.
From 1823 to 1824 he served as associate pastor of the Congregational Church at Rochester, New Hampshire. In 1824 he was chosen professor of mental and moral philosophy at Bowdoin College, which chair he held until his retirement in 1867. His remaining years were spent in study and writing at Kennebunkport, Me. , and later in New York City, where he died.
At Bowdoin he was one of the best known teachers in a rather distinguished faculty. Although he came to his professorship from a pastorate, he soon gave up preaching and public speaking, and made his strong religious influence felt in the classroom, in small groups of students, and with individuals. He was actively interested in the social reforms of the day, was an earnest and liberal patron of the colonization of Negroes, a strong supporter of the temperance movement, and one of the earliest American advocates of international peace, collaborating with William Ladd and writing one of the essays published in Prize Essays on a Congress of Nations (1840).
In 1852 he spent a year in European and Eastern travel, publishing in 1855 Letters Aesthetic, Social, and Moral, Written from Europe, Egypt, and Palestine. He also served Bowdoin well in practical affairs, at one time raising by his own efforts the then surprisingly large sum of nearly $70, 000.
Yet it is as an author in his chosen field of mental philosophy that Upham was best known. Brought to Bowdoin to oppose the doctrines of Kant and his school, he found himself after long effort unable to refute the teachings of the German metaphysician, and was on the point of resigning his professorship when suddenly he conceived a distinction between the intellect, the sensibilities, and the will which he embodied in his A Philosophical and Practical Treatise on the Will (1834), his outstanding work.
A bibliography of Upham's works contains more than sixty items, and includes, in addition to philosophical treatises, a religious classic, Principles of the Interior or Hidden Life (1843), and some books of verse, notably American Cottage Life (1851), first published anonymously about 1828 as Domestic and Religious Offering.
Upham was an important figure in the holiness movement and influential within psychology literature. His most popular work was "A Philosophical and Practical Treatise on the Will". It has been called "one of the first original and comprehensive contributions of American scholarship to modern psychology" (Foster, post, p. 249). This work and a succeeding volume, "Outlines of Imperfect and Disordered Mental Action" (1840), made him to be regarded more as a psychologist than a theologian, and did much to liberate American philosophy and theology from the thraldom of the elder Jonathan Edwards.

In character and appearance, Upham was distinctly of the academic type of the early nineteenth century. Modest, retiring, very reserved, almost secretive, absent-minded, kindly, with remarkable self-control, he was "in the best sense a quietest, and seemed to have attained to a high state of repose in God" (Packard, post, p. 21)
Upham married Phebe Lord on May 18, 1825. Her portrait, by Gilbert Stuart in the Bowdoin Art Museum reveals an unusual loveliness of person and character. They adopted several children and made their home in the words of Harriet Beecher Stowe, "delightful a beautiful pattern of a Christian family, a beautiful exemplification of religion" (Hatch, post, p. 60).
