William Hilton RA (3 June 1786 – 30 December 1839), was an English portrait and history painter. Hilton was born in Lincoln, the son of a portrait-painter; he may be known as "William Hilton the Younger". Although he is best known today for simple portraits of the poets John Keats and John Clare, he was successful in his lifetime with huge history paintings in the "Grand Manner", which have not benefited from the revival of interest in 19th-century British Academic art, and unlikely to be on display in the museums that own them.

The History of Tasmania: Two Volumes Annotated by John West. The first reported sighting of Tasmania by a European was on 24 November 1642 by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who named the island Anthoonij van Diemenslandt, after his sponsor, the Governor of the Dutch East Indies. The name was later shortened to Van Diemen's Land by the British. In 1772, a French expedition led by Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne landed on the island. Captain James Cook also sighted the island in 1777, and numerous other European seafarers made landfalls, adding a colourful array to the names of topographical features. The author takes this opportunity to thank the gentlemen who have allowed him, for several years, the use of their works on the colonies, and valuable original papers; especially the trustees of Lady Franklin's Museum, Messrs. R. Lewis, Hone, Gunn, Joseph Archer, Henty, P. Roberts, Wooley, and Pitcairn. This work includes a section on Tasmanian Zoology; and a useful list of the chief places in this country. [mehr]

Thomas Mayne Reid (April 4, 1818 – October 22, 1883), was a Scots-Irish American novelist. "Captain" Reid wrote many adventure novels akin to those written by Frederick Marryat and Robert Louis Stevenson. He was a great admirer of Lord Byron. These novels contain action that takes place primarily in untamed settings: the American West, Mexico, South Africa, the Himalayas, and Jamaica. Biography Reid was born in Ballyroney, a small hamlet near Katesbridge, County Down, in the north of Ireland, the son of Rev. Thomas Mayne Reid Sr., who was a senior clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. His father wanted him to become a Presbyterian minister, so in September 1834 he enrolled at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. Although he stayed for four years, he could not motivate himself enough to complete his studies and receive a degree. He headed back home to Ballyroney to teach school. In December 1839 he boarded the Dumfriesshire bound for New Orleans, Louisiana, arriving in January 1840. Shortly afterward he found a job as a clerk for corn factor, or trader in the corn market. He stayed in New Orleans for six months. It is said that he left his position for refusing to whip slaves. (Reid later used Louisiana as the setting of one of his best-selling books, an anti-slavery novel entitled The Quadroon.) [mehr]

British Columbia, the western-most province of Canada, is known nationally & globally for its natural beauty, picturesque mountain scapes, coastal scenery, near endless miles of shoreline, inlets and fjords. Each year, the province draws massive numbers of tourists from both Canada and the United States to enjoy its ecological splendor during the height of summer. But it is also the domain of over 20, 000 deep, glacially made lakes and the vast oceanic depths which continue to hold many surprises. And, over forty of those ancient bodies of freshwater are said to contain something else within them, swimming beneath their surfaces, only ever breaking placid waters occasionally to a lucky few fortunate enough to be in the right place and the right time. From Okanagan Lake to Harrison Lake to Cameron Lake on Vancouver Island, Kootenay Lake in the Rocky Mountains and the province’s coastal waters, sightings of large, unidentified aquatic creatures have been reported for countless centuries, and for some they continue to be reported by unsuspecting yet honest eyewitnesses. This thorough research guide and part-field book will provide a thorough look at this phenomenon by investigating sightings from each British Columbian Lake and the provincial coastlines from the oldest to most recent. Appearing for the first time are newly discovered or forgotten reports that have never been read in book form, along with obscure water creatures in their pages. Whether you are fascinated by watery mysteries, Cryptozoology, lesser-known regional trivia or plain curious about British Columbia’s natural wonders, The Mystery Creatures of British Columbia is an excellent primer for those wanting to dive deep into the western-most province's mysteries of the deep.
