About the author
Hiram Miner Stanley was an American writer and scholar born on August 1, 1857, in Jonesville, Michigan, and he died on April 3, 1903, in Binghamton, New York. Surviving library and public-domain records connect his name especially with psychology, philosophy, and literary essays.
He is known for works such as Studies in the Evolutionary Psychology of Feeling, An Outline Sketch: Psychology for Beginners, and Essays on Literary Art. Those titles suggest the kind of writer he was: someone interested in how the mind works, how emotions develop, and how ideas from psychology could speak to ordinary readers as well as students.
Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, his published work points to a lively intellectual range. For listeners who enjoy older nonfiction, he offers a glimpse of psychology at a time when the field was still closely tied to philosophy, education, and the study of culture.
