I must, however, return for a while to those other branches of psychology, those concerned not with the emotions, but with what Mr. B. Russell has analysed under the name of mind. And, in order to show some further illustrations of the omnipotence of the mnemic principle, return also to the late M. Th. Ribot. Since, in the very last years of his life, he hurried on from his study of Mémoire affective to that, which he had barely time to sketch out, of a cognate set of mnemic phenomena, best summed up by the title of his essay “Le Rôle latent des Images motrices.”
