Early Modern Herbals and the Book Trade: English Stationers and the Commodification of Botany explains how printed botanical books became valuable commodities within the competitive print marketplace. Highlighting the shifting contingencies and regulations surrounding English printing during the 16th and early 17th century, Neville argues that the construction of scientific authority in Renaissance England was inextricably tied up with the circumstances governing print.

ALASTAIR SWEENY ’68
Thomas Mackay: The Laird of Rideau Hall and the Founding of Ottawa explores the life and times of the chief founder of Bytown/Ottawa. Engaged by Colonel By of the Royal Engineers to build the Ottawa and Hartwell Locks of the Rideau Canal, Mackay used his profits to found the village of New Edinburgh and build a mill complex at Rideau Falls, as well as the residence his daughter named Rideau Hall. With his hefty canal profits—paid in Spanish silver pieces of eight—Mackay was a major financier of the Ottawa and Prescott Railway, and chief promoter of Ottawa as the capital of Canada.
