Merchants, medicine and Trafalgar : the history of the Harvey family /by Richard Morris. This book covers the history of the family from 1578 until the 1950s. Five of Thomas Harvey's seven sons followed their father in becoming merchants in the City of London, trading in silks and spices. The eldest son was William Harvey, the noted physician who discovered the circulation of the blood in 1628. He was physician to Charles I and was with the King at the Battle of Edgehill in 1642. The fifth generation of the Harvey family included Admiral Sir Eliab Harvey who commanded the Temeraire at Trafalgar. The family lived at Rolls Park, Chigwell, Essex for over 200 years, where they amassed a collection of art, although this was dispersed after the death of the Admiral in 1830. By 1953 Rolls Park was in decline and very little remains today. The book contains new material including previously unpublished letters about the Admiral's role at Trafalgar and his daughter Louisa's relationship with the Duke of Wellington. Appendix B contains coffin inscriptions in the Harvey vault at St Andrew's Church, Hempstead, Essex. Appendix C gives details of Harvey family monumental inscriptions in the Harvey Chapel of that church. There are a few black and white and colour illustrations, a bibliography and an index. 2007. • BOOK • 1 copy available.

Bell's Comet : how a paddle steamer changed the course of history /P.J.G. Ransom. "The passenger steamer burst upon the early nineteenth century with all the suddenness and immediate widespread popularity of electronic communications in our own time. Leading the way was Henry Bell of Helensburgh. When he started to carry passengers down the Clyde in his little steamer Comet in 1812, he established the first viable steamer service in the Old World. And steamers were the first mechanized passenger transport: no longer were travelers dependent upon the muscles of people and animals or the fickle effects of winds, tides and currents.Many had attempted to build and operate steamers, but few had been successful- and they were far away in North America. However once Bell had shown the way, others rushed to follow. All this is covered in P. J. G. Ransom's new study of Bell and the Comet and their place in history, written to mark the Comet bicentenary in 2012. The author also shows that the direct influence of Bell extended more widely than has been generally supposed: as well as starting steamer services on the Firth of Clyde, he was instrumental in establishing them on the Firth of Forth, the west coast of Scotland, and along the Caledonian Canal as soon as it opened. Thomas Telford, engineer of the canal, which was the greatest engineering work of the age, referred to him as 'the ingenious and enterprising Mr. Henry Bell'"--From back cover. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.123.21
