Shirley Woolmer

Exeter (1811), 2nd Edition, Printed and sold by S Woolmer. illus. 104 pp.

Index prepared by Michael Steer

Shirley Woolmer esq. was born about 1759 at Stepney, London. He died 19 Feb 1831 at Upper Southerhay, Exeter. Initially a printer and bookseller in Exeter, his obituary states "As a bibliopolist he was never surpassed, whilst his indefatigable exertions in the pursuit of the sciences of Mineralogy and Geology have rendered his name renowned amongst those who have devoted themselves to these branches of useful knowledge. He frequently contributed papers on these subjects to periodical publications, and it is some consolation to those who hope to join him in another and a better world, to know that his exertions ever tended to enhance the goodness of the Creator, and to vindicate his Sacred Book from the attempt of the sceptic to bring it into contempt". This rare and much sought-after book was produced digitally from a copy held by the New York Public Library, and can be downloaded from Google Books. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
