Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of the Science of Religion, Vol. 1 of 2: Morphological, Being the Gifford Lectures Delivered Before the University of Edinburgh in 1896 The ten lectures contained in this volume were delivered by me, in my capacity of Gifford Lecturer, in the University of Edinburgh, in November and December 1896. They form the first half of a course on the Science of Religion, and treat of the Morphological part of that science. The second series will deal with the Ontological division of the science. I had hoped to publish these lectures immediately after their delivery, and before their appearance in Dutch, the language in which they were first written. This unfortunately proved impossible. They have been rendered into English twice. The first translation was made use of in their delivery. The second is the one now issued. It has been made in entire independence of the first, and has been carefully revised by myself and others.
