Hartley strove to explain how the mind and consciousness functioned; and he speculated that the mind is able to work by the association of sensations and the cumulative experiences of life, or memories.
Hartley was the son of a poor Anglican clergyman; his mother died before he was a year old and his father died while he was a young boy.
Hartley forwarded the idea that all mental processing, especially that of memories, is based on vibrations in the brain and spinal column.

 David Hartley
English philosopher, and founder of the Associationist school of psychologists, born on the 8th of August 1705.
By his physical theory Hartley gave the first strong impulse to the modern study of the intimate connection of physiological and psychical facts which has proved so fruitful, though his physical theory in itself is inadequate, and has not been largely adopted.

 David Hartley (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
The son of an Anglican clergyman, David Hartley was born in June 1705 in the vicinity of Halifax, Yorkshire.
Hartley attempts a synthesis, by showing that bodily “frame,” moral “duty,” and religious “expectations” all converge on the same point -- and that point is the overcoming of the chasm between heaven and hell.
Hartley had a warrant for this affirmative approach to languages in his scientific and mathematical training: Newton wrote the Principia in the language of geometry, but the “mathematical principles of natural philosophy” could be equally (and better?) expressed in the “algebraic” language of the calculus -- for which there were rival notations.

Closely linked to Hartley, as one of his chief advocates, was Joseph Priestley (1733b-1804), the discoverer of oxygen and one of the foremost scientists of his age.
Hartley's confidence in unity also applies to what in the Christian world is the greatest discontinuity of all: Heaven and Hell.
Posing a similar challenge to popular philosophical and religious orthodoxies were his affirmation of the unity of body and mind, and his trust in universal salvation.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philosophy
By philosophical method is understood the path leading to philosophy, which, again, may mean either the process employed in the construction of a philosophy (constructive method, method of invention), or the way of teaching philosophy (method of teaching, didactic method).
Among the causes of this exaggerated vogue are the impulse given by the Schools of Cousin and of Hegel, the progress of historical studies in general, the confusion arising from the clash of rival doctrines, and the distrust engendered by that confusion.
The same may be said of the condemnation of David of Dinant (thirteenth century), who denied the distinction between God and matter, and of various doctrines condemned in the fourteenth century as tending to the negation of morality.

David Hartley's importance for philosophy lies in his Observations on Man, his Frame, his Duty, and his Expectations (1749), which includes the first fully worked-out presentation of an associationist theory of mind.
While it is no longer widely read, Observations on Man, his Frame, his Duty, and his Expectations had a significant influence upon the poet and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge, as well as upon the political radicalism of the early nineteenth century and the development of the discipline of experimental psychology.

And interestingly, Hartley influenced Pavlov, who performed the famous experiments with dogs, you know, you ring a bell and give food to the dog, so eventually the dog learns to salivate just because the bell has rung, even though there is no food present.
But I think it's important that for Pavlov, and for Hartley, this form of association wasn't a pathology, it was the mechanism of the mind.
And at some point in the 18th century, towards the middle of the 18th century, the doctrine of association of ideas changed form, and instead of being something which was to be avoided, which was seen to be a failing of humankind, it became something which actually became an explanatory key to psychological processes.

At this time he was concerned with education and was reeducating himself and preparing for his poem by studying a collection of Medical Extracts, Sir Humphrey Davy's Elements of Chemical Philosophy, Mary Wollstonecraft's Rights of Women, and an early psychological thesis, Observations of Man, by David Hartley.
What Shelley was preaching came to be understood as a "vision of the good life built on atheism, free love, republicanism, and vegetarianism."
It is also perhaps siginificant that Shelley himself became vegetarian at the beginning of March 1812, presumbaly whilst reading Hartley's book in preparation for Queen Mab.
