Buy this book on-line UPWARD, Allen : On His Majesty's ServiceThe Tyndale Press, London No Date (Ca. 1905)
A fine copy in the original dark yellow thin linen-faced printed card wrappers as issued. A scarce title by Allen Upward, (1863 - 12 November 1926), poet, lawyer, politician and teacher. He is perhaps today best known for having in 1908 self-published a book (originally written in 1901) which he apparently thought would be Nobel Prize material: "The New Word.". This book is today known as the first citation of the word "Scientology", although it is used in the book in a disparaging way to describe "science elevated to unquestioning doctrine". It is unknown whether L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology-organization, knew of this book. Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
