The important memoirs of Peter Crosthwaite, a bound handwritten manuscript by Peter Crosthwaite, 56 pages. The memoirs were written "in an attempt to vindicate his character. Many scandalous and malicious reports had been propagated against him". The memoirs were an attempt to prove the worth of his character from the date of his birth until his Court Martial whilst serving with the East India Company and prior to his return to Keswick and setting up the Keswick Museum. The memoir is also sold with a letter from the Quaker Professor John Gough to Peter Crosthwaite at the museum, Keswick. The letter discusses John Dalton (the discoverer of atomic theory) and notes that he was engaged in the same pursuit, namely the observation of the Aurora Borealis and the effects thereupon of changes in the weather. The letter discusses the thermometer, quantity of rain and comparative states of the atmosphere in respect to humidity, etc. It also discusses methods of measuring the rain and moisture content of air.
