  • A Thesis Submitted to the Facility of Divinity of the University of Edinburgh in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree
    THE RELIGIOUS THOUGHT OF THOMAS CARLYLE EVOR ROBERTS A thesis submitted to the Facility of Divinity of the University of Edinburgh in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.

There is a strik­ ing resemblance between the writings of the temperamental Scot­ tish moralist and the rhapsodies of the stern prophets of Isra­ el. Imos and Carlyle are at one in condemning the indolent rich for "selling the needy for a pair of shoes." They share a common attitude in their bitter denunciation of an institution­ alized religion which has hid the light of spiritual power to the point of extinction under the bushel of ecclesiastical formalism. Carlyle, though he turned away from the gates of a clerical career, became the outstanding religionist of his century, touching liberal thinkers in all fields of social en­ deavor those of the church, ^together with those of the political arena.

  • Edward Caird
    EDWARD CAIRD was born in Greenock on 23 March, 1835, the fifth of seven sons of John Caird, a Greenock engineer who died in 1838, and Janet Roderick Young from Paisley. Caird lived during his early years with his aunt Jane Caird, who was deeply devout and determined to instil religion into Edward. He was educated at Greenock Academy until the age of fifteen when he entered Glasgow University in 1850. He attended classes in the Faculties of Arts and Divinity, but ill health required a change of air, first at St. Andrews, and then Errol in Perthshire where his elder brother John, destined to become Principal of the University of Glasgow, was the parish minister. He went to Dresden in order to become better acquainted with the language and classical literature. He was particularly fond on Goethe, having been influenced by reading Carlyle's poetic and philosophical idealism. In 1858 he resumed his studies in Glasgow and took classes in Divinity, but then changed his direction and translated to Oxford where he became re-acquainted with his former class friend John Nicol who founded the Old Mortality Society whose members included A. V. Dicey and T. H. Green. Caird was the only undergraduate invited to join. He was taught by Jowett at Oxford, and became extremely friendly with T. H. Green, who he regarded as a kindred spirit in politics and attitude towards education as well as in philosophy. Caird graduated in 1863, and became a fellow and tutor of Merton College until his elevation to the chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow in 1866.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Universiv Microfilms International 3Ü0 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer cf a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.
