This volume presents the complete score for Edvard Grieg's 1865 sonata, "Violin Sonata No.1 in F Major". Edvard Hagerup Grieg (1843 - 1907) was a Norwegian pianist and composer. Today, he is generally considered to be one of the leading composers of the Romantic era, his music constituting part of the classical canon worldwide. He famously incorporated and developed Norwegian folk music in his compositions, which brought the music of Norway to the international stage. To this day, he is the most celebrated person in the city of Bergen. This sonata was composed in the summer of 1865 while Grieg was on holiday Rungsted, Denmark. It was written not long after his only piano sonata was finished in the same summer. Featuring large, clear note heads and wide margins, this edition is perfect for studying and following the music, and it is not to be missed by collectors. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library of the most well-known and universally-enjoyed works of classical music ever composed, reproduced from authoritative editions for the enjoyment of musicians and music students the world over.

"Natural Law in the Spiritual World" is a 1883 work by Scottish writer and evangelist Henry Drummond. Within it, Drummond explores the connections between the world of religion and spirituality, and the physical world. He maintains that the ostensible dichotomy between the spiritual and the physical is in fact illusory, and that faith is actually aligned with science. Published only a few decades subsequent to Darwin's landmark "On the Origin of Species", Drummond's attempt to reconcile evolution and God constitutes one of the most significant books related to Christian faith and scientific progress. Contents include: "Religion", "Analysis of Introduction", "Biogenesis", "Degeneration", "Growth", "Death", "Mortification", "Eternal Life", "Environment", "Conformity to Type", "Semi-parasitism", "Parasitism", "Classification", etc. Rev Prof Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a Scottish biologist, evangelist, lecturer, and writer. He had a considerable religious influence on his own generation, and his sermon "The Greatest Thing in the World" is still popular within Christian circles. Other notable works by this author include: "Natural Law in the Spiritual World" (1883), "Tropical Africa" (1888), and "The Greatest Thing in the World: an Address" (1890). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an essay on religion by James Young Simpson.
