Download or read book Routes, Roads, Regiments and Rebellions written by Colin McCall and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a contribution to the definition of the history of Scotland. It reflects the difficulties faced by those who wanted to access the troublesome Highlands following the Disarming Act of 1725, and how those difficulties were curtailed by the construction of a network of military roads between 1725 and 1736. It provides a comprehensive review of the life and work of the principal architect of that network, General George Wade. It examines the contribution to the road-building programme of Wade's friend and ally William Caulfield and explores the development of the roads from Wade's death until their decline through the advent of more modern means of road construction. In general, the book traces Wade's life as a soldier, MP, road builder and philanthropist. It covers instances where Wade had to deal with certain effects of the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745, and it traces connections between Wade's life and that of other famous contemporaries such as Samuel Johnson, James Wolfe, Jack Porteous and the sculptor Louis-Francois Roubiliac. These interesting facts are supplemented by an attractive set of sketches. Taken together, the text and illustrations serve to provide a liv

Book excerpt: In 1725 an extensive military road and bridge-building programme was implemented by the British crown that would transform 18th-century Scotland. Aimed at pacifying some of her more inaccessible regions and containing the Jacobite threat, General Wade's new roads were designed to replace 'the old ways' and 'tedious passages' through the mountains. Over the next few decades, the laying out of these routes opened up the country to visitors from all backgrounds. After the 1760s, soldiers, surveyors and commercial travellers were joined by leisure tourists and artists, eager to explore Scotland's antiquities, natural history and scenic landscapes, and to describe their findings in words and images. In this book a number of acclaimed experts explore how the Scottish landscape was variously documented, evaluated, planned and imagined in words and images. As well as a fascinating insight into the experience of travellers and tourists, it also considers how they impacted on the experience of the Scottish people themselves.

Download or read book Weighing the World written by Edwin Danson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of the 18th century there were no maps, anywhere in the world. No one knew, with any certainty, the shape of the earth or what lay beneath its surface. Was it hollow or solid? Were the Andes the highest mountains on the Earth or was it the peak of Tenerife? Was the Earth a perfect sphere or slightly squashed as Sir Isaac Newton prophesized? In Weighing the World, master-surveyor and bestselling author Edwin Danson presents the stories of the scientists and scholars who cut their way through jungles, crossed the artic tundra, and braved the world's highest mountains to discover the truth about our Earth. Danson also recounts the extraordinary experiment, conducted on a desolate Scottish peak by Astromer Royal Neville Maskelyne, to understand the so-called "attraction of mountains," the curious capability mountians have to bend gravity, without which it would be impossible to accurately map Earth's surface. A spell-binding scientific adventure story, Weighing the World will intrigue anyone curious about the shape of our planet and how we have come to know it.

Book excerpt: In Westminster Abbey a magnificent marble monument honours the memory of Field Marshal George Wade. He is best remembered for his role in disarming and pacifying the clans after the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, and for the network of roads and bridges he built in the Scottish Highlands. In all he did he was regarded as a gentleman of the highest honour and integrity; and numerous worthy causes benefited from his generosity, particularly in Bath, where he was the Member of Parliament for twenty-six years.
