Excerpt from Song Sermons for General Use and Special ServicesAs a testimony of usefulness, it may be stated that, on his recent tour of song round the world, Mr. Phillips met with many indications of the value of the Song Sermon Services which this little volume contains, both in the readiness with which they were adopted in various parts of the world, and the blessing with which they were uniformly honoured by the Giver of all good; and it is his hope that the same means in the hands of others may be yet more useful in the future.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Dan Josselyn Memorial Publication This invaluable classic provides the framework for the development of American archaeology during the last half of the 20th century.
In 1958 Gordon R. Willey and Philip Phillips first published Method and Theory in American Archaeology―a volume that went through five printings, the last in 1967 at the height of what became known as the new, or processual, archaeology. The advent of processual archaeology, according to Willey and Phillips, represented a "theoretical debate . . . a question of whether archaeology should be the study of cultural history or the study of cultural process." Willey and Phillips suggested that little interpretation had taken place in American archaeology, and their book offered an analytical perspective; the methods they described and the structural framework they used for synthesizing American prehistory were all geared toward interpretation. Method and Theory served as the catalyst and primary reader on the topic for over a decade. This facsimile reprint edition of the original University of Chicago Press volume includes a new foreword by Gordon R. Willey, which outlines the state of American archaeology at the time of the original publication, and a new introduction by the editors to place the book in historical context. The bibliography is exhaustive. Academic libraries, students, professionals, and knowledgeable amateurs will welcome this new edition of a standard-maker among texts on American archaeology.
