Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Nathaniel Sheldon Wheaton was the eldest son of Sylvester and Mercy (Sperry) Wheaton, of Marbledale, town of Washington, Connecticut. His grandfather, Joseph Wheaton, born in Seekonk, R. I, was one of the first Episcopalians to settle in that part of Connecticut.
Nathaniel was prepared for college at the Episcopal Academy, Cheshire, Connecticut, and was graduated from Yale College in 1814. After graduation, he taught in Maryland, and studied theology.
He was ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church by Bishop James Kemp of Maryland, June 7, 1817, and on May 24, 1818, was advanced to the priesthood. He was rector of Queen Caroline Parish in Anne Arundel County, Md. , for some time, but in March 1820 became assistant minister of Christ Church, Hartford, Connecticut He was made rector April 23, 1821, and served for over ten years. On the incorporation of Washington College (now Trinity) in Hartford in 1823, he was a member of the original board of trustees. Planning to visit England for his health, which was always precarious, he was requested by the trustees to solicit there books and philosophical apparatus. He remained abroad about a year, and secured useful gifts for the infant college. Some of the diaries he kept while in England are preserved in the college library. During his sojourn there he studied architecture, and when a new church for his parish was projected in 1827, he planned it, with the assistance of the architect Ithiel Town, and supervised its construction. It is said to be the first truly Gothic church to be built in America. On October 14, 1831, he was elected president of Washington College, in succession to Thomas Church Brownell, the founder. Wheaton served till Feburary 28, 1837, with conspicuous success, adding materially to the endowment and the property of the institution. He resigned the presidency to accept a call to the rectorship of Christ Church, New Orleans. An epidemic of yellow fever devastated the city during his pastorate, and he devoted himself unsparingly to ministering to the stricken people. At one time he was the only Protestant clergyman able to perform his duties. He himself contracted the disease, which permanently impaired his health. In the hope of improving it, he resigned his parish in 1844 and went to Europe. Unhappily his hope was only partially realized, and he was not able to resume the active work of his ministry. He lived in Hartford for a time, but soon removed to Marbledale, where he spent the remainder of his days, living quietly and performing such clerical duties as opportunity and his health permitted. Unmarried, with ample means, he gave a rectory and a tract of ground to St. Andrew's Church, Marbledale, and bequeathed $10, 000 to Trinity College, to be the nucleus of a fund for the building of a chapel. As his residuary legatee, the college also received some $10, 000 additional. Among his published writings were an anonymous pamphlet, Remarks on Washington College, and on the "Considerations" Suggested by Its Establishment, in reply to a pamphlet published in 1824 and attributed to Roger S. Baldwin. On May 7, 1828, Wheaton preached the Election Sermon in New Haven which was published in 1828 under the title The Providence of God Displayed in the Rise and Fall of Nations. His "Address at the Laying of the Corner-Stone of Christ Church, Hartford, " and a "Description of Christ Church, Hartford, " were printed in the Episcopal Watchman, in May 1828 and January 1830, respectively. He died in Marbledale, Connecticut, March 18, 1862, aged 70.
He contributed to the Episcopal Watchman periodical (June 1827 - August 1829) a number of papers entitled "Notes of a Traveller, " which were reprinted with additions under the title A Journal of a Residence of Several Months in London (1830). Other publications of his include An Address Delivered Before the Hartford County Peace Society (1834); "Happiness or Misery the Result of Choice" (Protestant Episcopal Pulpit, December 1834); and A Discourse on St. Paul's Epistle to Philemon; Exhibiting the Duty of Citizens of the Northern States in Regard to the Institution of Slavery (1851).
