Memoirs of the Distinguished Men of Science of Great Britain Living in the Years 1807-8 - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Thb following brief memoirs were originally compiled for the pmrpose of accompanying the Engraving of The Distinguished Men of Science of Great Britain living in 1807-8, assembled at the Royal I nstitution, to which the outline at the commencement of this work is intended to serve as a key. A s, however, there may be some who might like to possess the book, apart from the engraving, it has been thought advisable to publish it separately. With the exception of the notices of Trevithick, Tennant, Maudslay, and one or two more, these memoirs necessarily contain little information which has not been previously published in some shape or other. The authorities from which the present particulars have been taken are given at the end of each memoir; and the writer claims no further merit than that of having compiled and arranged the works of others, whose language, in most cases, it would indeed be presumption in him to alter, forther than wm necessary to present to the public in a clear, brief and (it is hoped) readable form, the doings of men who must ever be held in the grateful remembrance of their country.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
