tacular” fashion than before (212). And he makes the case that the physical forms of the books themselves were meant to exude dignity, signifying their noble patron whilst maximizing “profits and prestige” for the authors and publisher in return (225). Chapter 4 provides a thorough overview of how the Bridgewaters were reviewed in the scientific and religious periodicals, offering prospective readers a domesticated vision of science safe for Christian consumption. Part 3, consisting of four chapters, is dedicated to the readers of the Bridgewaters and the diverse contexts in which the books were read. Scientific reading as a form of religious practice is taken-up in Chapter 5 where we encounter the remarkable story of Ellen Parry. The daughter of the physician, Charles Henry Parry, Ellen had incorporated the reading of scientific works into her daily devotional practices since the age of seven. Amongst the books she consulted were several Bridgewaters which furnished her with the necessary materials for “rational recreation and pious reflection” (295). Unfortunately, Ellen did not live to see her eighteenth birthday, having succumbed to illness before she could read Buckland’s geological treatise. Yet, Ellen’s devotional practice and experiences as reader were not atypical, but reflective of Christian readers across Britain. This theme is explored further in Chapter 6 by looking at how Christian preachers integrated the Bridgewaters into their weekly sermons. In Chapter 7, Topham documents how scientific practitioners, including the authors, used the Bridgewaters to cultivate an image of the Christian man of science, thereby securing moral legitimacy for themselves and their work. The treatises were also read against the backdrop of attempts to reform British universities in regard to scientific education. Here Topham reaches the counterintuitive conclusion that the Bridgewaters were more successful in furthering scientific studies at secular institutions such as the universities of Edinburgh and London than at the traditional Anglican strongholds of Oxford and Cambridge. Chapter 8 contains a series of case studies, exploring how the Bridgewaters informed and shaped the scientific practice of its readers. By reconstructing the readings of Charles Darwin, Charles Babbage, Richard Owen, and William Carpenter, Topham manages to show how the Bridgewaters served as an entry point for these readers to explore the relation – and tension – between arguments for design and those grounded in scientific observation. In the conclusion, Topham returns to the idea that the Bridgewaters gave shape to a “theistic science” that emphasized the “uniformity of nature” and upheld the notion that God oversaw his creation via natural laws (476). This vision of science, argues Topham, was much closer to the scientific naturalism of late Victorian Britain than the natural theology of William Paley. By employing a book history approach, Topham has succeeded in providing f

several children with his last two wives, while legality of both unions remained questionable. The situation grew increasingly complex, with competing potential heirs and wives clamoring for financial support and settlements. As Ralph lay sick and dying, he created three separate and contradictory settlements to prepare for the potential outcomes of several pending lawsuits: one settlement if Elizabeth was found to be his lawful wife, another one for if the courts agreed that Ann was his wife, and one if neither were his wife. After Ralph’s death, another court decided that Ann’s annulment from John was faulty and reversed it. Elizabeth’s claim to be Ralph’s lawful wife was also rejected. Married three times and the father of at least ten children, Ralph died a bachelor without a single legitimate heir. In the complex but unfinished legal instruments Ralph had prepared, he did provide financial benefits and settlements via trusts for his many children and their mothers, so he did not entirely leave them out in the cold. These alternate agreements and methods provided common ways for Tudor men to provide for illegitimate offspring. Ralph’s brother – his legal heir – and two surviving wives(?), and their children, continued to fight over property in multiple lawsuits after Ralph’s death. In retelling the Rishton story, Poos expounds at length on sixteenth century practices the disputes reveal. When describing Ralph’s first marriage at the tender age of eight or nine, Poos provides an in-depth discussion about the history of child marriages, with a focus on the evidence from Lancashire. Agreeing with other scholars who have studied the phenomena in the northwest and providing an in-depth statistical analysis, Poos argues that while still not common, child marriages occurred more frequently in the Lancashire region than elsewhere and was a means for parents and relatives to make property agreements. Based on a comparative study of gentry marriage distances in Lancashire, Wiltshire, and Northamptonshire, Poos also concludes that the Lancashire gentry found marriage partners closer to home, creating a close-knit network of familial and financial connections. Poos also argues convincingly that the Lancashire gentry were not just very litigious, but remarkably adept at nimbly navigating the multi-layered legal systems and overlapping jurisdictions, skilled at shopping around for legal courts that may provide the most desirable outcomes, using the different levels of church, common law, and equity courts. Several persons involved in the Rishton disputes had legal training and were well versed in byzantine property law. Poos pays close attention to the procedural, linguistic, and administrative limitations of using court documents as evidence of individual voices and is careful to say what the records can tell us and what they leave out.
