D. Appleton- Century Company. p. 377 Psychologist Joseph Jastrow criticized the Crawford experiments as unscientific and wrote that "the minute detail of apparatus and all the paraphernalia of an engineering experiment which fills the Crawford books must ever remain an amazing document in the story of the metapsychic. As proof of what prepossession can do to a trained mind the case is invaluable."Murchison, Cark. (1927).

Murphy's Historical Introduction to Modern Psychology (1929) received a positive review in the British Medical Journal which stated "no purely objective record could be as successful as Dr. Gardner Murphy's presentation of the history, which bears evidence everywhere of a judicious choice of material and of such emphasis as is free from any prepossession."History Of Psychology. (1929). British Medical Journal. Vol. 2, No. 3575. pp. 53-54.

His gaze is severe, wide-eyed and fixed straight ahead in fierce prepossession. His throne and surrounding court, however, present an unorthodox and extravagant profusion of architectural and vegetal elements which — while depicted in fine, realistic, even jewel-like, detail — give the overall impression of a dream-like fantasy world. Everywhere a profusion of vivid colors vies with dark shadows for prominence. Countless teaming gods, goddesses and allegorical figures seem to exist at different scales, independent of, and oblivious to, one another.

Calle Albucasis street at Cordova. Al-Zahrawi was the "most frequently cited surgical authority of the Middle Ages". Donald Campbell, a historian of Arabic medicine, described Al- Zahrawi's influence on Europe as follows: > The chief influence of Albucasis on the medical system of Europe was that > his lucidity and method of presentation awakened a prepossession in favour > of Arabic literature among the scholars of the West: the methods of > Albucasis eclipsed those of Galen and maintained a dominant position in > medical Europe for five hundred years, i.e long after it had passed its > usefulness.

Prevost kept the bulk of his forces in Lower Canada to protect Quebec, and opposed any attack into United States. Brock also believed that he was handicapped by inertia and defeatism among the Legislature and other officials. He wrote to Prevost's Adjutant General, > My situation is most critical, not from anything the enemy can do, but from > the disposition of the people – The Population, believe me is essentially > bad – A full belief possesses them that this Province must inevitably > succumb – This Prepossession is fatal to every exertion – Legislators, > Magistrates, Militia Officers, all, have imbibed the idea, and are so > sluggish and indifferent in all their respective offices that the artful and > active scoundrel is allowed to parade the Country without interruption, and > commit all imaginable mischief... What a change an additional regiment would > make in this part of the Province! Most of the people have lost all > confidence – I however speak loud and look big.

In a speech about defense policy, Chamberlain stated: "We shall never again sent to the Continent an army on the scale of that which we put into the field of the Great War" The War Minister, Leslie Hore-Belisha, agreed, telling the House of Commons: "Our Army should be organised to defend this country and the empire...to organise it with a military prepossession in favor of a continental commitment is wrong". On 21 March 1938, the Foreign Minister, Joseph Paul-Boncour, instructed Corbin to seek to "interest" the British in Eastern Europe, especially in the states of the Cordon sanitaire, namely Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia. On 23 March 1938, Paul- Boncour stated in his instructions for Corbin that the French had intelligence that German rearmament had not reached a point when the Reich could fight a long war and that if France were to mobilize with full British support that would force the Wehrmacht to concentrate its strength along the West Wall, thereby making any German aggression in Eastern Europe impossible. Paul- Boncour concluded that France did not want a war with Germany, but that a strategy of deterrence instead of appeasement would be the best way of achieving that.
