June 2 Saturday – Sam’s notebook: “Prof. J. Mark Baldwin of Princeton coming with J.L. Adams 11 a.m. Writes books on psychology. Oxford, now, on this industry. / Burford Bridge Hotel Dorking. / Andrew Lang? See July 1, for his address” [NB 43 TS 14].

In London, James Mark Baldwin (1861- 1934) visited Sam with Sir John Adams [ibid.]. Baldwin was an American philosopher and psychologist, founder of the Dept. of Psychology at Princeton who made important contributions to early psychology, psychiatry, and to the theory of evolution. He authored several books, including the one he brought as a gift to Sam.

Gribben writes, “Either then or shortly thereafter Baldwin presented Clemens with The Story of the Mind, first published in 1898” [41]. Sam would write Baldwin on June 5, 6, and 7; and would visit Oxford on June 10.

Carte R. D’Oyly wrote an invitation to Sam on Strand Theatre letterhead for a dinner on Saturday, June 9, 8:15 p.m. at the Savoy Hotel, given to honor Sir Henry Irving back to England after his successful American tour [MTP]. Note: Sam would attend; D’Oyly presided.
