1677 1st ed Yarranton England Improvement Economics Dutch Wars London Fires Beer

Andrew Yarranton was a 17th-century English engineer who is best remembered for his improvements to English waterways, which eventually made them more navigable to sea goers. His waterway improvements, along with several other notable infrastructural upgrades. However, Yarranton also sought to improve England's economic status regarding the financial war with the Dutch.

According to the DNB, this work

"was one of the first promoting inland navigation on rivers & canals, amongst other modern economic ideas (including the establishment of a national land registry). It was influential because it gave the economic arguments for such projects rather than the technical aspects of their construction."

"Every educational reformer owes much, in the way of inspiration and suggestion, to his predecessors, and of none is this truer than of John Amos Comenius."
– Will S. Monroe, Comenius and the Beginnings of Educational Reform"
Shortly after 'JanuaLinguarumReserata' was first published in1629, it was translated into nearly every European language. In fact, by the 1630s, it was the second most read book in Europe, second only to the Bible. This textbook by Johann Amos Comenius was simply a text of Language, as the English title suggests, "The Door of Languages Unlocked."
'Janua' comprehends the elements of all the sciences and arts – from the origin of words to the mind and its faculties." (Monroe, 126).


It was written with 1,000 short sentences comprising of roughly 8,000 words. In all, there have been over 100 editions of this book printed! Comenius is now remembered as an innovator, who first introduced… Read More

1680 1ed Scottish Morison BOTANY Plantarum Plants Classification Science FOLIOS

Robert Morison was a 17th-century Scottish botanist best-known for his book 'Plantarum Umbelliferarum Distributio Nova'. This book was an enormous work and one of best books of botany from the 17th-century. The successes of the 1672 'Plantarum' propelled Morison to write 'Plantarum Universalis Oxoniensis', which became his magnum opus. Sadly, Morison was never able to finish this work before his death. This book was written to describe fifteen classes of his botanical classification system. A second (or third overall volume) was published later to include the final sections not covered in the first tome.

While mostly known for his contributions to natural philosophy and science, Robert Boyle was highly interested in theology, devoting much of his time to studying the existence of God, using his philosophical and even scientific discoveries as evidence. One of his many important treatises was his "Against Swearing and Cursing" – a discussion on the sins of cursing, dealing with anger, agreeing to and breaking oaths, and admissions of guilt.

The 'Printing and the Mind of Man' calls Boyle
"the best-known English scientist of his day, and the greatest experimental scientist of the mid-17th-century." (PMM 141).
