Papers, Letters and Journals of William Pearson
Excerpt from Papers, Letters and Journals of William Pearson: Edited by His Widow Mr. Thomas Gough of Kendal, my Husband's dear and esteemed friend, in whose love of the animal creation he largely participated, and who as a genuine field-naturalist, and a devoted scientific observer, is well qualified to judge of the worth of the letters on subjects of Natural History, _ - urged on me the desirability of publish ing them. He pronounced them to be well worthy of publication for their beautiful, simple style, and added, that they rank with those of Gilbert White, which cannot be said of any others since his day.

The Book of Unexplained Mysteries
How were the hunter-gatherers of Göbekli Tepe able to build a series of stunning stone monuments six thousand years before Stonehenge? Was the so-called 'Wow!' Signal a radio transmission from deep space, or the ambient resonating frequency of a passing comet?

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press.

This book's intention was to correct such omissions, but discrepancy turned out to be widespread. Rather than being solely a contribution to Scandinavia's history, the material mainly illustrates aspects of English origins as viewed by one of their own kind. A post-Roman doomed culture arose in eastern England. Largely ignored in English records, the history of this is obscure, but the geography is even more so, since reliable place-names are but few. The poem predominantly served as an allegorical tool and, laced with folklore, was used to comment on the behaviour of those in leadership roles, both in politics and religion. Synthesis even allows an identity to be suggested for the poet.
