Pages : 426
Book Description
Excerpt from A Systematic Arrangement of British Plants Although the compiler cannot boast of so critical 3 knowledge of Botany as Of some other departments of Natural History, he is yet sufficiently aware of the difficulties which the student of that science has to encounter, and has been deeply im pressed with the importance of precise characters and pure language in every science. It is therefore confidently hoped that the work will prove useful; and should the author have contributed in any considerable degree to facilitate the progress of beginners in the delightful study of Botany, he will be grateful to Him who has permitted such a use of the faculties bestowed upon him. It were alike unnecessary and useless to say any thing here in recommendation of the science of plants - unnecessary, because its fascinations have been extensively felt - and useless, because they who may peruse this work, if they do not love Nature for her own sake, will hardly be persuaded to love her for any thing that another might say in her praise.

The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes
Author: Jonathan Rose
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300148356
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
Which books did the British working classes read--and how did they read them? How did they respond to canonical authors, penny dreadfuls, classical music, school stories, Shakespeare, Marx, Hollywood movies, imperialist propaganda, the Bible, the BBC, the Bloomsbury Group? What was the quality of their classroom education? How did they educate themselves? What was their level of cultural literacy: how much did they know about politics, science, history, philosophy, poetry, and sexuality? Who were the proletarian intellectuals, and why did they pursue the life of the mind? These intriguing questions, which until recently historians considered unanswerable, are addressed in this book. Using innovative research techniques and a vast range of unexpected sources, The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes tracks the rise and decline of the British autodidact from the pre-industrial era to the twentieth century. It offers a new method for cultural historians--an "audience history" that recovers the responses of readers, students, theatergoers, filmgoers, and radio listeners. Jonathan Rose provides an intellectual history of people who were not expected to think for themselves, told from their perspective. He draws on workers’ memoirs, oral history, social surveys, opinion polls, school records, library registers, and newspapers. Through its novel and challenging approach to literary history, the book gains access to politics, ideology, popular culture, and social relationships across two centuries of British working-class experience.

The Genius of Erasmus Darwin
Author: Christopher Upham Murray Smith
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9780754636717
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The Genius of Erasmus Darwin provides insight into the full extent of Erasmus Darwin's exceptional intellect. He is shown to be a major creative thinker and innovator, one of the minds behind the late eighteenth-century industrial revolution, and one of the first, if not the first, to perceive the living world (including humans) as part of a unified evolutionary scenario. The contributions here provide contextual understandings of Erasmus Darwin's thought, as well as studies of particular works and accounts of the later reception of his writings. In this way it is possible to see why the young Samuel Taylor Coleridge was moved to describe Darwin as 'the first literary character in Europe, and the most original-minded man'.Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin's grandfather, was one of the leading intellectuals of eighteenth-century England. He was a man with an extraordinary range of interests and activities: he was a doctor, biologist, inventor, poet, linguist and botanist. He was also a founding member of the Lunar Society, an intellectual community that included such eminent men as James Watt and Josiah Wedgwood.
