The Psychology of Suggestion

Has anyone here read this book by Boris Sidis? It's available at sidis.net/pscontents.htm [sidis.net/pscontents.htm] . I believe it's also available on Google Books.

He did research at Harvard around the turn of the century (19th/20th) and was a contemporary of William James. Boris presents a model of suggestion, and hence meme propagation. I've found this extremely helpful in thinking about memes.

His son, WJ Sidis, wrote an alternative American history called The Tribes and the States which makes use of an idea called Continuity of Locality.
