First published in 1906, these four lectures were originally
delivered in the Vacation Term for Biblical Study at Cambridge.
Evidence is derived from the native tribes of Australia in
particular, whom Jevons compares for his discussion. The first
lecture considers whether religion has evolved from, or was
preceded by a pre-religion, or non-religious, stage of humankind.
The following lectures discuss the science of religion and the
theory of Evolution, and the relationship between the evolution of
religion and the philosophy of religion. This is a fascinating text
that will be of particular value to students interested in the
history and development of religion in general.
First published in 1913, Jevons' Personality marries the
disciplines of philosophy and psychology in order to question the
existence of personality and the arguments surrounding it.
Intriguingly, Jevons suggests that if a person can question their
own personality and existence, by extension they can also question
the personality and existence of God. The book is arranged into
four chapters based on a series of lectures delivered in Oxford in
1912: these discuss such areas as the relationship between science,
psychology, and personality; the argument that "there are changes,
but no things which change", and consequently there are changes,
but no persons who change; and, the concepts of individualism and
unity.
First published in 1902, this book investigates the history and
development of early religion from an anthropological perspective.
Rather than dealing with religions that grew from the teachings of
their original founders, such as Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism,
Jevons considers those religions that were practised as a matter of
custom and tradition. The title considers such subjects as the
supernatural, life and death, animal sacrifice, and the worship of
nature. It provides an introduction to the history of religion for
students of religion, anthropology and folklore.

First published in 1900, this philosophical essay on Evolution
questions how the acceptance of Evolution as scientific should
influence the thoughts and actions of humankind from the
perspective of morality and moral conduct. In his discussion, Frank
B. Jevons deals with such subjects as pessimism and optimism
towards evolutionary theory, the laws of motion and matter, and the
importance of scientific evidence.

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth
century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were
designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of
topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and
combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on
accessibility. The Idea of God in Early Religions by F. B. Jevons
was first published in 1910. The book contains an engaging
discussion of the concept of God in terms of its development in the
early stages of religion.
First published in 1914, this volume by F. B. Jevons was designed
as a response to the simple question: What is philosophy?
Consisting of five separate lectures, the work throws light on the
themes of philosophy and science, materialism and idealism,
scepticism, practical philosophy, and the notion of the whole and
its parts. The aim of the study was not simply to provide an answer
to the question in the title, but to bring out the meaning of the
question itself and to demonstrate the inherent utilitarian
significance of philosophy to everyone. As Jevons notes in the
preface, 'Philosophy is a concern of the average man and of
practical life, and should not be the monopoly of the professed
student.'

Greek drama is fascinating and the real beginning of modern drama
as we know it today. This well researched and concise book is a
must for anybody studying the history of drama. Many of the
earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are

modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
