MARTINEAU (James): A Study of Religion, Its Sources and Contents. Second Edition, Revised, 2 vols. , Oxford: At the Clarendon Press, 1900;

pp. xxxii, 392; vi, 400 + 8 cat. Orig. dk blue cloth w. gilt title. This edition adds a new preface mainly responding to criticisms of the first edition - "I would gladly avail myself of the many valuable criticisms it has received, to amend and strengthen it. But some of these criticisms do but touch upon difficulties which I myself feel and cannot relieve. Others, especially advanced by representatives of the prevailing continental schools, are addressed so much more to the general plan and structure of the treatise than to its conclusions, that, even if I assented to them, I could not act on them without recasting the whole work." Martineau, it should be noted (brother to Harriet), was 95 when he wrote this, and died the same year. (Book ref. 3149)  £25.00
