_"Initiative" and "Psychology."_--
" ... a previous act and conception of the mind, or what we have called
an _initiative_, is indispensably necessary, even to the mere semblance
of method."--Coleridge's _Treatise on Method_.
Am I to understand from this sentence that this word was an original
adaptation of Coleridge's? If not, when was it first introduced, and by
whom?
In the same treatise, Coleridge employs the word _psychological_, and
apologises for using an _insolens verbum_. Was this the first occasion of
the familiar use of this word? I find _psychology_ in Bailey.
