Adam Walker (1730/31-1821), itinerant lecturer and writer. Born into the family of a woollen manufacturer, Walker was almost entirely self-educated and developed 'considerable mechanical skill, constructing models of the milling machinery employed locally for fulling, grinding, and papermaking' (ODNB). In 1766 he bought the apparatus of a previous itinerant lecturer and began travelling himself, developing numerous spectacular exhibits including a transparent orrery. Walker published and lectured extensively and extremely successfully, establishing his sons in what was now the family business, becoming friendly with many eminent members of the Lunar Society, and developing various mechanical inventions, among them early steam engines and the rotary lights installed under his direction in St Agnes Lighthouse in the Scilly Isles. This present volume of travel writing was one of two such works inspired by visits to the continent. Scarce. ~Robust packaging. Overseas orders trackable on request.
