An Answer to the Question
What Am I?
A Popular Introduction to Mental Physiology and Psychology
Volume 2: The Mechanism in Action

By Edward W. Cox

London:  Longman and Company, 1879 (1st edition)

While Cox was president of the Psychological Society of Great Britain, and claims the mantle of science, and the majority of the book is devoted to describing the mechanisms of the mind (as understood in the 19th century), his ultimate goal is to provide "scientific proof" of the soul. This is the 2nd volume in the series.

Rare first edition!
