Unitarianism (Esprios Classics)
Reverend William George Tarrant (1853-1928), was the author of Unitarianism Restated (1904) and Unitarianism (1912). "In certain quiet nooks of Old England, and, by contrast, in some of the busiest centres of New England, landmarks of religious history are to be found which are not to be easily understood by every passer-by. He is familiar with the ordinary places of worship, at least as features in, the picture of town or village. Here is the parish church where the English episcopal order has succeeded to the Roman; yonder is the more modern dissenting chapel, homely or ornate. But, now and then, among the non-episcopal buildings we find what is called distinctively a 'Meeting House, ' or more briefly a 'Meeting, ' which may perhaps be styled 'Old, ' 'New, ' or 'Great'. "

pokkari
A most useful tactical primer using several then recent (1906) military operations in West Africa, including Ashanti 1895-96 and 1900, Benin 1897, and Aro Expedition 1901-02. Chapters cover Tactics, Columns, Transport, Artillery and Machine Guns, Encampments, Night Operations, Subjugation of a Country, and Relief of Towns. This is a vivid and lucid treatise that utilises examples, and lessons that can be learnt, from actual bush fighting.Instructive in a historical sense rather than purely theoretical, this 1906 tactical treatise covers in much detail the methods of carrying on warfare against "savages" in West Africa. Includes the expedition to Benin City against Chief Overiami, amongst other small-scale military operations to counter local opposition, and to stabilise and expand the colonial Empire in Africa.

The Unmaking of the Medieval Christian Cosmos, 1500–1760

The Unmaking of the Medieval Christian Cosmos, 1500–1760

From the early Christian era and throughout the Middle Ages, theologians exerted considerable effort to achieve a synthesis bringing together Greek cosmology and the Creation story in Genesis. In the construction of the medieval Empyrean, the dwelling place of the Blessed, Aristotle’s philosophy proved of critical importance. From the Renaissance on, largely in revolt against Aristotle, humanist Bible critics, Protestant reformers and astronomers set themselves to challenge the medieval synthesis. Especially effective in the ensuing dismantlement, from the 16th to 18th centuries, was the pagan concept of an infinite universe, resuscitated from Antiquity by the Italian philosophers Bruno and Patrizi. Indirectly inspired by the latter, the doctrines of the French pre-Enlightenment thinkers Descartes and Gassendi spread throughout Latin Catholic Europe in spite of considerable resistance. By the middle of the 18th century the Roman ecclesiastical authorities were brought to acknowledge an end to the medieval cosmos, allowing Catholics to teach the theory of heliocentrism.
