John and Thomas William Webb Manuscripts
John Webb ( 1776- 1869 ) wrote a two-volume history of the Civil War in Herefordshire and the surrounding counties which was completed by his son Thomas (1806-85 ). The latter became more celebrated as an astronomer, publishing Ã- Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes Ã- which was a standard text for over a century. The manuscripts include extensive notes on the Civil War and other historical subjects, as well as ThomasÃ's observations on astronomy and natural history and his diary for 1826-37 and 1840. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01432 383607 | Telephone: | 01432 383600 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:7804 | Go to resource |
