1325 (return) [ Mr. Bain (‘The Emotions and the Will,’ 1865, p. 65)
remarks on “the shyness of manners which is induced between the
sexes.... from the influence of mutual regard, by the apprehension on
either side of not standing well with the other.”]
1326 (return) [ See, for evidence on this subject, ‘The Descent of
Man,’ &c., vol. ii. pp. 71, 341.]
1327 (return) [ H. Wedgwood, Dict. English Etymology, vol. iii. 1865,
p. 184. So with the Latin word _verecundus_.]
1328 (return) [ Mr. Bain (‘The Emotions and the Will,’ p. 64) has
discussed the “abashed” feelings experienced on these occasions, as
well as the _stage-fright_ of actors unused to the stage. Mr. Bain
apparently attributes these feelings to simple apprehension or dread.]
1329 (return) [ ‘Essays on Practical Education,’ by Maria and R. L.
Edgeworth, new edit. vol. ii. 1822, p. 38. Dr. Burgess (ibid. p. 187)
insists strongly to the same effect.]

Burgess, ibid. p. 43.]
1333 (return) [ In England, Sir H. Holland was, I believe, the first to
consider the influence of mental attention on various parts of the
body, in his ‘Medical Notes and Reflections,’ 1839 p. 64. This essay,
much enlarged, was reprinted by Sir H. Holland in his ‘Chapters on
Mental Physiology,’ 1858, p. 79, from which work I always quote. At
nearly the same time, as well as subsequently, Prof. Laycock discussed
the same subject: see ‘Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal,’ 1839,
July, pp. 17-22. Also his ‘Treatise on the Nervous Diseases of Women,’
1840, p. 110; and ‘Mind and Brain,’ vol. ii. 1860, p. 327. Dr.
Carpenter’s views on mesmerism have a nearly similar bearing. The great
physiologist Müller treated (‘Elements of Physiology,’ Eng. translat.
vol. ii. pp. 937, 1085) of the influence of the attention on the
senses. Sir J. Paget discusses the influence of the mind on the
nutrition of parts, in his ‘Lectures on Surgical Pathology,’ 1853, vol.
i. p. 39: 1 quote from the 3rd edit. revised by Prof. Turner, 1870, p.
28. See, also, Gratiolet, De la Phys. pp. 283-287.]
1334 (return) [ De la Phys. p. 283.]
1340 (return) [ Dr. Maudsley has given (‘The Physiology and Pathology
of Mind,’ 2nd edit. 1868, p. 105), on good authority, some curious
statements with respect to the improvement of the sense of touch by
practice and attention. It is remarkable that when this sense has thus
been rendered more acute at any point of the body, for instance, in a
finger, it is likewise improved at the corresponding point on the
opposite side of the body.]
1341 (return) [ The Lancet,’ 1838, pp. 39-40, as quoted by Prof.
Laycock, ‘Nervous Diseases of Women,’ 1840, p. 110.]
