William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse : astronomy and the castle in nineteenth-century Ireland /edited by Charles Mollan. "This is a revealing account of the family life and achievements of the Third Earl of Rosse, a hereditary peer and resident landlord at Birr Castle, County Offaly, in nineteenth-century Ireland, before, during and after the devastating famine of the 1840s. He was a remarkable engineer, who built enormous telescopes in the cloudy middle of Ireland. The book gives details, in an attractive non-technical style which requires no previous scientific knowledge, of his engineering initiatives and the astronomical results, but also reveals much more about the man and his contributions - locally in the town and county around Birr, in political and other functions in an Ireland administered by the Protestant Ascendancy, in the development and activities of the Royal Society, of which he was President from 1848-54, and the British Association for the Advancement of Science. The Countess of Rosse, who receives full acknowledgement in the book, was a woman of many talents, among which was her pioneering work in photography, and the book includes reproductions of her artistic exposures, and many other attractive illustrations."--Provided by the publisher. 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92ROSSE
Toussaint Louverture : a revolutionary life /Philippe Girard. "In Toussaint Louverture, Philippe Girard reveals the dramatic story of how Louverture transformed himself from lowly freedman to revolutionary hero. In 1791, the unassuming Louverture masterminded the only successful slave revolt in history. By 1801, he was general and governor of Saint-Domingue, and an international statesman who forged treaties with Britain, France, Spain, and the United States-empires that feared the effect his example would have on their slave regimes. Louveture's ascendency was short-lived, however. In 1802, he was exiled to France, dying soon after as one of the most famous men in the world, variously feared and celebrated as the "Black Napoleon." As Girard shows, in life Louverture was not an idealist, but an ambitious pragmatist. He strove not only for abolition and independence, but to build Saint-Domingue's economic might and elevate his own social standing. He helped free Saint-Domingue's slaves yet immediately restricted their rights in the interests of protecting the island's sugar production. He warded off French invasions but embraced the cultural model of the French gentility. In death, Louverture quickly passed into legend, his memory inspiring abolitionist, black nationalist, and anti-colonialist movements well into the 20th century. Deeply researched and bracingly original, Toussaint Louverture is the definitive biography of one of the most influential people of his era, or any other."--Provided by the publisher. 2016 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92LOUVERTURE

Alfred King Lewis 1818-1860 : barge builder and shipwright, Royal Navy "Five years after Hong Kong became a British Protectorate, a young Carpenter's Mate, Alfred King Lewis became embroiled in the "Canton River Operations" in April 1847. The event was commemorated in a series of 11 hand-coloured lithographs which show the Bay of Victoria at Hong Kong, the British and Foreign Factories in the City of Canton (Guangzhou) China, sampans and junks as well as the Royal Navy paddle ships Vulture, Pluto, Espiegie, Corsair and Lorcha. These 11 prints have been reproduced for the first time in this book. Although written for family history, the book takes a first hand look at the Royal Navy through examining the activities of Ships' Carpenters in the 1840's. It also provides a social history of the London docklands area during the mid-1800's."--Provided by the publisher. 1997 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 359.223(42)

Ships of the Chester River / Richard Martin. "Ships of the Chester River is the history of more than 600 vessels that were launched after 1800 in the Dee estuary, in Chester and north Wales, and the families and companies that built them. Although the industry on the Dee was not on the scale of that on the neighbouring Mersey estuary, ship building was a significant business in both Chester and the Dee ports throughout the nineteenth century. This is the first book to be published on this subject, and reveals the great variety of Chester River vessels which sailed all over the world, serving in many different and interesting roles."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. txt

Administrators of empire / edited by Mark A. Burkholder. Volume 22 of An Expanding World - The European Impact on World History 1450-1800. "The expansion of Europe overseas required the creation of institutions for governing the conquered peoples as well as the conquerors, their descendants, and later immigrants. Portugal, Spain, England and France faced this administrative challenge during the era of colonization. [...] They all relied upon government officials to oversee royal interests in their colonies. This volume brings together a set of articles that illustrate the variety of imperial administrators, the ways in which they secured office, some of the pressures they experienced, and the opportunities they enjoyed as office-holders. The focus is almost exclusively on administrators in the New World."--Provided by the publisher. 1998. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 325.35"1450/1800"
The arctic Whaling Journals of William Scorseby the Younger: Volume 1 The voyages of 1811, 1812 and 1813 "William Scoresby (1789-1857) made his first voyage in the whaler Resolution from Whitby to the Greenland Sea, west of Spitsbergen in 1800. Three years later he was formally apprenticed to his father and another three years saw him promoted to chief officer. On his 21st birthday 'the earliest at which, by reason of age, I could legally hold a command' his father moved to Greenock and another ship, relinquishing the Resolution to his son".--Provided by the publisher.
