The American Hereford Record and Hereford Herd Book
Brief history of Hereford cattle: v. 1, p. 359-375.
Jones Records
"Much interest has been shown in the many Jones families of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and other states. The records are numerous and, of course, many times confusing due to the similarity of given names. As the years pass, the chances of tracing a specific Jones family and compiling an accurate genealogy become more remote. The object of this book, the first in a planned series, is to record in print some of the records found in the various archives of the United States in such a way that the tracing of Jones families is made easier"--Page after t.p. Vol. 2 continues with the many Jones families of Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland, and includes New Jersey records as well
Defining Science
This 1993 book deals with debates about science - its history, philosophy and moral value - in the first half of the nineteenth century, a period in which the 'modern' features of science developed. Defining Science also examines the different forms or genres in which science was discussed in the public sphere - most crucially in the Victorian review journals, but also in biographical, historical and educational works. William Whewell wrote major works on the history and philosophy of science before these became technical subjects. Consequently he had to define his own role as a metascientific critic (in a manner akin to cultural critics like Coleridge and Carlyle) as well as seeking to define science for both expert and lay audiences.
Henry County, Virginia, Marriage Bonds, 1778-1849
Mrs. Dodd has compiled all the marriage records of Henry County from its formation in 1778 until just prior to the keeping of vital records in Virginia. Most of the entries are based upon marriage bonds, which are arranged alphabetically by the husband's surname. Brides are indexed in a separate alphabetical sequence.
The Correspondence of Michael Faraday
Almost 75% of the letters in Volume 3 were previously unpublished. During this period (1841-1848) he discovered the magneto-optical effect and diamagnetism, allowing him to argue for his views on the nature of matter.
Lyell in America
Lyell first came to America in 1841, remaining for more than a year and touring widely. His immediate reason for the journey was to deliver the prestigious Lowell lectures in Boston. His larger purpose was to study the geology of North America, hoping that the vast scale of the continent - its mountain ranges, plains, Great Lakes, and rivers - would confirm his belief in the uniformity of geological history.
