Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College,
Cambridge, and bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to
the College on condition that the contents remained intact and
unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this
day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a
complete catalogue was begun, and four volumes were published
between 1914 and 1940. Volume 4 describes the books about shorthand
which Pepys - an enthusiastic practitioner himself - methodically
collected, and had bound in five volumes. Over the centuries,
various specialists had consulted this important collection but
this catalogue brought it to the attention of bibliographers for
the first time. It provides background information about the author
of each work, places the content in its historical context and
supplies bibliographic details together with notes about other
surviving copies. It is a valuable resource for historians of
stenography and its uses.
Marine Propellers and Propulsion, Fourth Edition, offers
comprehensive, cutting edge coverage to equip marine engineers,
naval architects or anyone involved in propulsion and hydrodynamics
with essential job knowledge. Propulsion technology is a complex,
multidisciplinary topic with design, construction, operational and
research implications. Drawing on experience from a long and varied
career in consulting, research, design and technical investigation,
John Carlton examines hydrodynamic theory, materials and mechanical
considerations, and design, operation and performance. Connecting
essential theory to practical problems in design, analysis and
operational efficiency, the book is an invaluable resource, packed
with hard-won insights, detailed specifications and data.
Poems. Some Bleak. Some Funny. Some Sensual. Some involving
Religion. Some directly Autobiographical. (All indirectly
Biographical.) I enjoy reading them and others enjoy hearing them.
I suspect you too will enjoy them.
