Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Glossolalia (paranormal speaking in tongues) and zenolalia
(paranormal speaking in allegedly foreign languages) are features
of many sub-cultures and religions. The most obvious example is
Pentecostalism, where every believer in many denominations is
expected to speak in tongues at least once - the gift in other
cultures being limited to individuals, shamans and mediums. This
book, first published in 1978, surveys the practice of 'speaking in
tongues' in anthropology, Christianity and spiritualism, and
provides an analysis of the psychological, theological and
linguistic considerations of the phenomenon.

In 1973 David Christie moved house from Essex to Scotland, but it
wasn't till 1974 that he discovered the joys of sailing on Calmac's
ships. An initial sail on King George V at Oban in her last season
was a great introduction but mostly, over the next three years, I
focussed on Queen Mary on the Clyde, now safely back in Glasgow at
the Science Centre. Most of the Clyde piers are covered, with
emphasis on Rothesay. Ferries also feature with old and new on the
Rothesay and Dunoon runs and the smaller boats at Largs. The west
coast features with Oban as the main terminal, then Mallaig, before
a session on the pre-bridge Skye ferries. A single visit to
Ullapool finishes this journey back to the seventies.

This volume starts with London Transport's green Country bus
routes, radiating eastwards from Rainham, Epping and Romford. The
author lived in Romford at this time and a favourite ride was on
the 370 Romford-Tilbury Ferry route end-to-end, which started just
half a mile from his home at the London Road Green Line Garage
forecourt. Southend-on-Sea and Colchester Corporation are the
municipal companies featured, as well as independents such as
Upminster & District and Osborne's, as well as some
contractors. Most of the images are of the traditional half-cab
exposed-radiator buses that were then in their last days, being
withdrawn from service in some cases just weeks after being
photographed. Going against the trend, Southend Corporation
unusually chose to ignore the all-conquering Atlantean rear-engine
type (as far as it could) and operated a few of the last
exposed-radiator Leyland PD3s built in 1968. With his wonderfully
evocative photography capturing an interesting and unique scene,
David Christie offers a nostalgic and fascinating snapshot of the
area in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
