Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book by the philosopher Herbert Spencer examines the implications and theological significance of his theory of knowledge and associated synthetic philosophy. Spencer argues that our knowledge is limited and can offer only insights into phenomena rather than things in themselves. This forms the basis of his system of agnosticism which holds that any underlying reality is unknowable and that we are unable to know anything about the nature of God. The author traces the implications of this agnostic stance through themes such as the nature of being, the attributes of God, and the immortality of the soul. The book offers profound insights into the relationship between science and religion and the nature of human knowledge, making it essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the history of ideas.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development and significance of the Imperial Service troops in India, examining their role in the defense of the empire and their impact on the relationship between the British government and the princely states of India. The author traces the origins of these troops to the mid-19th century, when several of the largest Indian states raised their own armies to support the British during the Indian Mutiny. Following the mutiny, these forces were disbanded, and for several decades, the princely states maintained only small, ill-equipped armies for internal security. In the 1880s, as tensions between Russia and Great Britain intensified, the British government sought to bolster its defenses in India by encouraging the princely states to contribute troops to the imperial army. The author describes the process by which these Imperial Service troops were raised, trained, and organized, and he analyzes their performance in several campaigns, including the defense of Chitral in 1895. The author also explores the broader implications of the Imperial Service scheme, arguing that it represented a significant shift in the relationship between the British government and the princely states, and that it played a crucial role in securing the loyalty of the Indian princes during the critical years leading up to Indian independence. The book provides a valuable historical account of the Imperial Service troops and their role in the defense of the British Empire. The author's research is thorough, and the narrative is clear and engaging. This book will be of interest to scholars of British imperial history, military history, and South Asian history.

(June 14, 1811 July 1, 1896) was an American abolitionist and novelist, whose Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) attacked the cruelty of slavery; it reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential, even in Britain. It made the political issues of the 1850s regarding slavery tangible to millions, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North. It angered and embittered the South. The impact is summed up in a commonly quoted statement apocryphally attributed to Abraham Lincoln when he met Stowe, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!"
