Very excited to announce that the final essay on our special issue of Notes and Records of the Royal Society is now out, Eleanor Lucy Bird on ‘Humphry Davy, transatlantic slavery and his constructions of racial difference in an early notebook’: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

This is the very page where Davy mentions that the summit of Helvellyn is made of greywacke - failing to mention the presence of William Wordsworth and Walter Scott! I hadn’t realised that he also refers to Lancaster and Chorley on the same page though.
