Bell Rock, a small outcrop lying just below the roiling waves of the North Sea, had long been the site of smashed ships and doomed sailors, with an estimated 6 shipwrecks per year as the 18th century drew to a close. With the need for navigational warning, Robert Stevenson took command of the planning and construction of what would become the legendary Bell Rock Lighthouse. In his Account, Stevenson details the monumental task of building a structure to stand up to the ferocity of the open ocean, using revolutionary engineering and construction techniques, on a rock only visible a few hours a day at low tide.

"My aim in it has been to convey a juster and less prejudiced notion than prevails at present respecting the Danish and Norwegian conquests." -Jens Jacob Asmussen Worsaae, An Account of the Danes and the Norwegians (1852) An Account of the Danes and the Norwegians in England, Scotland and Ireland (1852) by Jens Warsaae, was based on his research into the Scandinavian invasions of the European mainland. During the 10th century, the European mainland was invaded by Norse settlers from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, who intermarried with native tribes and came to be known as "Normans." While their influence on the history of France was significant, it was even stronger in England, which the Normans conquered in the 11th century. Warsaae's book, commissioned by the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, was his attempt to revise the impressions that the 19th century British had of the effects of the Norman conquests on England. This replica of the original text is accompanied by numerous woodcuts.
