    Hi All,
    Am doing research for a paper. Can anybody point me to any books that discuss science (preferably the rise of science, or an increased interest in science) during the last quarter of the 19th century in London/England?
    Greatly appreciated.

    Check out www.Victorianweb.org , it is a great site.

    The Victorians were amazing, just look at the London underground and sewage system for proof of that.

    There is a good book on the origins of 19thC science, Davies et. all.
    "Age of Wonder" by Richard Holmes.

    We don't really approve of homework threads here, Fred's answered your question, so locked.
