''Observations on Man, his Frame, his Duty, and his Expectations'' is 18th-century British philosopher David Hartley's major work. Published in two parts in 1749 by Samuel Richardson, it puts forth Hartley's principal theories: the doctrine of vibrations and the doctrine of associations. The first part of the text deals with the frame of the human body and mind, and their mutual connections and influences, the second with the duty and expectations of mankind. ==Intellectual background== Hartley's physical theory was drawn from certain speculations as to nervous action which Isaac Newton had published in his ''Principia'' (1687).〔Allen, 83-84.〕 Elements of Hartley's psychological theory were suggested by other writers, such as John Gay. For example, "in Hartley's theory, emotion is a fluid like electricity or water"—it flows from one experience to the next, a concept he called ''transference'' and lifted from the writings of Gay. Although Hartley acknowledges that Gay "put me upon considering the power of association" in relation to transference, he developed a different theory of association from Gay′s.〔Allen, 267-68.〕
