Historical Perspective:

"Please forgive me for citing many longer parts from U[.]'s writing [...]; this is because I hold this book so dear, because it is becoming so rare, and I would so like to keep these treasurable parts from becoming forgotten [...]." (Biunde, 1832, p.301)

Psychology has been researched with passion and wit for hundreds of years, and many of the topics studied back then are still hot today. Researching the beginnings of the discipline and its pioneers, their accomplishments and their failures, is educative and enlightening, humbling and entertaining all at once.
