Hardcover. Zustand: near fine. First edition. Octavo. xii, 462pp. Indices and 22 page bibliography. Pictorial buckram, lavender spine lettered in white & black. Frontispiece portrait. A near fine, but ex-library copy with a minimal rubber library stamp on title page and at bottom edge of text block. Prepared in honor of E. Thomas Lawson, the essays in Religion as a Human Capacity represent diverse points of view in the study of religion today. Part I, "Theoretical Studies," offers a broad range of cognitivist theoretical explorations, while Part II, "Studies in Religious Behavior," presents cutting-edge applications of cognitive and other contemporary theories to religious data. This volume celebrates Lawson's critical contributions to cognitive studies of religion and the degree to which his ultimate goal of scholarship as a search for truth is matched by those who have been his colleagues and been influenced by him. Religion as a Human Capacity will be of interest to all those concerned with theory and method in the academic study of religion. (Publisher) Contents: A Brief Intellectual Biography of E.

Pamphlet. 48 p.; 18.5 cm. `One might give numberless illustrations of the friendly, manly helpfulness which Brown was ever ready to display towards the Queen, but I am more concerned to display the homely human simplicity of their life when delivered from the unreal ceremonials of a court, and will here set down two anecdotes illustrative thereof. They show the strong natural human bond which marked the friendship of the two, as well as the frankness and freedom of the intercourse which Her Most Gracious Majesty found so restful and refreshing in the seclusion of Osborne or Balmoral. The first incident I shall relate occurred during one of their quiet walks on Deeside. Her Majesty, leaning of the arm of the ever faithful John, had come in one of her walks to a little stream which soaked its way through mossy banks to the river. It was but a tiny rivulet, but at the place where she struck it the ground on either bank was spongy, and Her Majesty hesitated to jump across. John Brown did not hesitate. With one manly stride he was over, and, turning round, he held out his hand, at one and the same time to invite the Queen to follow, and to help her. Still Her Majesty hesitated, gathering up her garments doubtfully, fearful of the wet moss. Seeing her thus timorous, and growing impatient, John gave his hand a half-imperious, half-encouraging wave, and cried in his rich, northern Diric, "Hoot, loup! deil a fear o' ye; ye winna fa' in!" Thus encouraged, and with a trustful smile, Her Gracious Majesty put her hand in John's, leaped as she was bid, and landed safe beside him on the dry heath.' (p. 43 f.) Good, removed. Foxing to end leaves.…
