The Philosophy of Moral Feelings

According to Wikipedia: "John Abercrombie (10 October 1780 in Aberdeen 14 November 1844 in Edinburgh) was a Scottish physician and philosopher. The Chambers Biographical Dictionary says of him that after Dr James Gregory's death, he was "recognized as the first consulting physician in Scotland"... For his services as a physician and philanthropist he received many marks of distinction, including the Rectorship of Marischal College. He also found time for philosophical speculations, and in 1830 he published his Inquiries concerning the Intellectual Powers of Man and the Investigation of Truth, which was followed in 1833 by a sequel, The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings. Both works showed little originality of thought; they achieved wide popularity at the time of their publication, but have long been superseded."
