Excerpt from The Cities of St. Paul: Their Influence on His Life and Thought, The Cities of Eastern Asia Minor The subject of these lectures has proved much larger than was anticipated in my original plan, and I have been obliged to omit the Pauline Cities of the Aegean coasts, important as they were in St. Paul's career, and to refrain from discussing his words and metaphors, as I had hoped to do in Part VII.

Excerpt from The Intermixture of Races in Asia Minor: Some of Its Causes and Effects A preliminary word about geography. Asia Minor, which may roughly be called Anatolia, though the terms are not exactly coextensive, is a level and lofty limestone plateau, protruding from the main Asian Continent towards Europe and the west. The Central Plateau is like a billiard table, level and surrounded by a higher rim of mountains, outside of which is lo...

Excerpt from A System of Inorganic Chemistry For more than twenty yearn, the compounds of carbon have been classified in a rational manner, and the relations between the different groups of compounds and between the individual members of the same groups have been placed in a clear light. It is, doubtless, owing to the brilliant originators of this method of classification - Kekule, Hofmann, Wurtz, Frankland, and others too numerous to mention...

Excerpt from Was Christ Born at Bethlehem?: A Study on the Credibility of St. Luke Realising better in subsequent thought the bearings of the Egyptian discovery, I have enlarged these two articles into an argument against the view that Luke sinks, in the accessories of his narrative, below the standard exacted from ordinary historians. At the risk of repeating views already stated in previous works, the second chapter attempts to put clearly ...

D., A Discourse: Delivered in the University of Glasgow on Commemoration Day, 19th April, 1904 There are some natures so happily constituted that they escape many of the trials which beset most men.

Excerpt from Studies in the History and Art of the Eastern Provinces of the Roman Empire This collection of papers was planned less than a year ago, and the writers have been occupied in other engrossing and inevitable work, which alone might seem to require their undivided attention. The leisure which could be given to this book was scanty, and in July it seemed hardly possible to get it ready in time. Only by the hearty co-operation of the ...

Excerpt from Pauline and Other Studies in Early Christian History Of the following essays one is entirely new. Six may be called new, as each is worked up anew out of several articles. For example, No. XIV. contains parts of five articles on Pauline Chronology. The rest have been carefully revised and improved in many details. It has encouraged me greatly to find that even in the oldest articles no change of opinion on Pauline topics has bee...

Johnstone Stoney's "atom of electricity, " the electron, has been shown to b...

Excerpt from The Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia and Their Place in the Plan of the Apocalypse This book is a very imperfect essay towards the understanding of that synthesis, which now lies before us as a possibility of the immediate future. How imperfect it is has become clearer to the writer, as in the writing of it he came to comprehend better the nature of the Apocalypse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of ...
