Andrew Ure (1778-1857), Scottish chemist, scientific writer and professor at the University of Glasgow, was an enthusiast of the new manufacturing systems that were emerging in the nineteenth century.His Dictionary is a well-known and much-used work, which went to several editions. This, a reprint of the 1867 6th edition, is alphabetically arranged and well-illustrated with nearly 2000 wood engravings, plus numerous tables. Packed with thousands of useful technical and statistical information on material, chemical and machine processes, and industries, it covers an exceptional range of topics from manufacture and export figures of biscuits, cotton, steel or sugar, to descriptions of minerals, tools, machinery, elements, and organic chemistry.Ure's Dictionary is a standard work in nineteenth-century history and remains invaluable as a record of this extraordinary period of industrial development.

As the storm booms out in the bay and the waves smash against the rocks, the masts of a cursed and spectral vessel are drawing near. As the mists roll over Bodmin moor, the moonlight reveals a night alive with spirits.Welcoming a fresh roster of seaside spectres, tin-mine terrors and holiday haunters, this return to the bountiful fold of Cornish horror fiction features more lost classics from Victorian periodicals alongside atmospheric tales from the great twentieth-century writers of the Cornish weird such as Mary Williams, Mary Butts and Sabine Baring-Gould.
