Sir John Edwin Sandys (1844–1922) was a leading Cambridge classicist and a Fellow of St. John's College. His most famous work is this three-volume History of Classical Scholarship, published between 1903 and 1908, which remains the only large-scale work on the subject to span the entire period from the sixth century BCE to the end of the nineteenth century. The history of classical studies was a popular topic during the nineteenth century, particularly in Germany, but Sandys stands out for the ambitious scope of his work, even though much of it was based on earlier scholarship. His chronological account is subdivided by genre and region, with some chapters devoted to particularly influential individuals. Volume 3 covers eighteenth-century Germany and the nineteenth century.

Originally published in 1991, The Economic Organisation of a Financial System develops a descriptive theory of a financial system’s organisation and functions and applies the theory of organisational economics to the study of a financial system.

The book’s contents provide a detailed illustration of how organisational economics can be put to work.

A Critique of Logical Positivism is a book written by Cyril Edwin Mitchinson Joad, which provides a comprehensive analysis and critique of the philosophical movement of Logical Positivism. Logical Positivism is a school of thought that emerged in the early 20th century, which sought to establish a scientific and empirical basis for all knowledge claims, by emphasizing the importance of logical and mathematical analysis of language.Joad's book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Logical Positivism. He begins by providing a historical overview of the movement, tracing its origins back to the Vienna Circle of philosophers and scientists, and highlighting its key proponents, such as Rudolf Carnap, Otto Neurath, and Moritz Schlick.Joad then proceeds to critique the central tenets of Logical Positivism, such as the verification principle, which holds that only those statements that can be empirically verified are meaningful. He argues that this principle is flawed, as it fails to account for the role of theoretical and metaphysical claims in scientific inquiry, and overlooks the fact that many meaningful statements cannot be reduced to empirical observations.Throughout the book, Joad also engages with other philosophical schools of thought, such as pragmatism, realism, and idealism, in order to provide a broader context for his critique of Logical Positivism. He concludes by offering his own alternative vision of philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of ethical and spiritual values, and rejects the reductionism and scientism of Logical Positivism.Overall, A Critique of Logical Positivism is a seminal work of philosophy, which challenges the dominant paradigm of its time and offers a compelling alternative vision of the nature of knowledge and reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
