As a barely-under-50, I've come to consider the 1940s "recent past",
the
1900s "not too distant past" and the 1860s "a recent historical era".
But
the 1840s are still "ancient history", and I find myself suspicious
about
whether I could even understand the writings of people from a period
that
early in our evolution.
Seriously, I didn't respond to that post, but you can bet that I
read it
with great interest. Your mistake was mentioning in the post a site that
specializes in out-of-print books. Needless to say instead of responding
to
your post, I spent an hour trying to find certain gems (in particular, a
reasonably priced copy of Nisbitt and Ross' "Human Inference: Strategies
and
Shortcomings of Social Judgment").
