Between 1878 and 1902, Constance E. Plumptre championed some of the most fascinating philosophical theories of the Victorian age. In Volume 1 of her history of Pantheism the author introduces to Orien
Presented in the form of a series of biographical essays, this 1845 history of Hebrew women traces a continuity from the biblical matriarchs to the Jewish women of Aguilar’s own generation.
Epitaxy is the growth of the crystals of one mineral on the crystal face of another mineral, so that the crystalline substrates of both have the same structural orientation. In introducing 40 papers c
