Abstract
Mr. Darwin has called his book by the title of “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals,” but he has gone into the mechanism of other conditions besides “Emotionls.” “Affirmation” and” Negation,” “Reflection,” “Meditation,” and “Helplessness,” are not necessarily associated with “Feeling,” and may more conveniently be called states of mind than emotions. If this had been better recognised it would have prevented the making of such an “antithesis” as Indignation on the one hand and Helplessness on the other. An indignant man is no doubt in an emotional condition, but a man who shrugs his shoulders in sheer help-lessness may be, and generally is, simply devoid of all emotion whatever.
