ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the different types of emotions they are: confidence, hope, anxiety, despondency, and despair. The five derived emotions are well named by Mr. A. F. Shand "the prospective emotions of desire";for all of them imply desire that looks forward to a goal. The derived emotion, in all cases presupposes and is conditioned by some impulse, some desire or aversion, already at work within us, and is the product of the influence of a new cognition concerning the object to which that impulse is directed. Sorrow is a retrospective emotion of desire, for it is essentially tender regret. By a loose usage the word is sometimes extended to cover that primary emotion which we have called distress. But sorrow, in the proper sense of the word, can be experienced only by the subject who is sufficiently developed to have acquired a sentiment of love or devotion.
