Philip Harwood
Philip Harwood (1809 – 10 December 1887) was an English journalist and Unitarian minister, known as the editor of the '' Saturday Review''. Life He was born in Bristol, and when young started work in a solicitor's office. After serving out his articles, he decided to enter the ministry, and studied at the University of Edinburgh. There Thomas Chalmers's lectures had the unintended effect of converting him to Unitarianism, and he became in 1835 pastor of the Unitarian congregation at Bridport. In 1839 he officiated for a time at St. Mark's Chapel, Edinburgh, where his scepticism about miracles involved him in an acrimonious controversy with George Harris of Glasgow, and other members of his denomination. In 1840, Harwood moved from Bridport to London, where he became in 1841 assistant minister to William Johnson Fox at South Place Chapel. After a while he accepted an engagement to lecture on Sundays at the Beaumont Institution, Mile End; continued until 31 December 1843, wh ...

A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the large ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
