Observations in Vindication of the Authenticity of the Parian Chronicle. By Richard Gough,
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.

Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The leading antiquary of his day, Richard Gough (1735–1809) promoted the history of the British Isles, particularly the Anglo-Saxon period, rather than pursuing the classical interests of contemporaries who had made the Grand Tour. Gough travelled extensively over the years, sketching and taking detailed notes on what he observed. He believed that the Society of Antiquaries, of which he was director from 1771 to 1797, should preserve the nation's heritage without catering to fashion or the interests of dilettantes. He published this major work anonymously in 1768, and it found a receptive readership. The book is in effect a gazetteer of published and unpublished materials for the local history and topography of the whole of Great Britain and Ireland, discussing public records, printed books, manuscripts, maps, and other sources relating to the antiquities of each county.
The Antiquities and Memoirs of the Parish of Myddle, County of Salop
The author of this work, written in 1700–1 but not published until the nineteenth century, is sometimes confused with his later namesake, the antiquarian Richard Gough (1735–1809), though they are not in fact related. Richard Gough of Myddle in Shropshire (baptised 1635, died 1723) was a farmer and also acted as a land steward. This book on the history of his parish and the families living in it was not apparently intended for publication. However, more than one copy was made, as a version that does not match the text presented here was privately printed in 1834: this version was published in Shrewsbury in 1875. Gough describes his parish, the great local landowners, and the castle, and then gives histories of the local families. This is one of the earliest surviving examples of a local history, and is famous for its detailed account of the minutiae of village life.

Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

What happens when friends and enemies unite? Introducing the first book in the Nocterna series: Nocterna Book of Chasms. Nocterna is a world in crisis. The Academy and the Star Order are engulfed in an age long dispute that requires some outside assistance to solve. The Queen of the Star Order insists she is right, being royalty and all that, but surprisingly the professors of the Academy disagree. Where does one find the necessary help to sort everything out? Why on Earth of course Both sides set out to acquire an earthling to help them on their quest to an unknown series of mountains in pursuit of a book. Not just any book of course, why that would be far too easy. A few unlikely kids are chosen due to their Star Power and off we go. Cast into a World where Latin is the day to day lingo and anything goes, Alex Evans, KT (not Katie) Blacklock and Jason Scott must find their way in a world that seems to host all manner of different creatures and royalty. All of this, combined with a third underlying force, lurking in the background, makes Nocterna a tale with more twists and turns than a Fibonacci spiral and shows us a world that is as strange as it is obscure... Which side will they choose and more importantly which side will you choose? www.nocternabooks.com

When nature and terror collide Maosis is a world that has fallen to tyranny. The evil Baron Vax and the Order of the Knights have ransacked the planet and rule with an iron fist. All is under their control apart from one small piece of land - the Viridae. A small and seemingly impenetrable dome, surrounded by a wall of cactae for protection. Now it is under siege as the Baron strives to take it and fulfil his complete conquest. With only their cactae walls and dome left to protect them, the people of Viridae (the Chlorophytes) must take to arms to stop the dreadful Baron and his Order of Knights. The community make a desperate decision to use all their power and select four Chlorophytes who would become heroes in their hour of need. The cost of this was dear, as without any power, the other Chlorophytes reverted into seeds and into a slumber that can only be broken with outsourced energy, something the Baron has heaps of. The battle is on and it is up to these chosen ones, these four heroes, the Plant Warriors to awaken their people and banish the Baron Plant Warriors is the new exciting comic book from Nocterna Books www.nocternabooks.com

'Government by its very nature counteracts the improvement of original mind' - William Godwin William Godwin was the first major anarchist thinker in the Anglophone world, who rocked the establishment at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Famously married to Mary Wollstonecraft, father to Mary Shelley and inspiration to Lord Byron, his life and works lie at the heart of British Radicalism and Romanticism. In this biography, Richard Gough Thomas reads Godwin afresh, drawing on newly discovered letters and journals. He situates Godwin's early life in the counterculture of eighteenth-century religious dissent, before moving on to exploring the ideas of the French Revolution. As Godwin's groundbreaking works propelled him from Whig party hack to celebrity philosopher, his love affair with Mary Wollstonecraft saw him ostracised in both liberal and conservative circles. Godwin's anarchism always remained at the centre of his work, and remains his key legacy, inspiring libertarians, both left and right-wing. This biography places Godwin alongside his famous family as a major political, ethical and educational writer and shows why a reappraisal of his ideas is needed today.
