Synopsis

Excerpt from The American Geologist, 1888, Vol. 1: A Monthly Journal of Geology and Allied Sciences

The starting of a new scientific journal is a step which should be accompanied by a statement of the reasons and purposes which have actuated its originator*. These reasons and purposes should form the platform of principles, and the arena of action which should characterize the publication.

The science of geology is comprehensive, and depends for its progress on the special researches of laborers in all the t natural sciences. The editors of Tim American Geologist have lamented from time to time the lack of a distinctively geological journal in the United States, whose axis should be to coordinate and express the results of these special labors on the general science of geology, and which should serve as a repository of the progressive steps which the science, as such, makes from year to year. They have lamented the absence of a journal which should take cognizance of the various laboratories of the world, and of the publications that emanate from the various scientific centers, and, culling from them all such facts and discussions as throw light 011 the history and console-titles of the globe, should authentically eliminate for its subscribers the essential grand results, freed from the distractions of too much detail. These results, mingled with a confusion of unsystematized details, are now scattered through journals and special publications which arc devoted to the special sciences, and arc inaccessible and unavailable to the geologist without the expenditure of much time and money.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises two articles that examine the idea of a "national church" in the United Kingdom dating from the year 1950. The idea of such a singular national church is assessed across various eras of history, especially focusing on the interrelation between politics, religion and the idea of a national identity from the year 1800 onwards. The author approaches the subject by looking at the Church of England, and also draws upon various comparisons to the established Church of Scotland and the Catholic Church in Ireland. Against this backdrop, both articles contained within this book grapple with the tension between political and religious power and identity from the reign of George III in the 18th century right up until recent times. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
