| | Hermeneutics: 1. Nineteenth Century |
| | Hermeneutics, as opposed to exegesis, is the theory, rather than the practice, of interpretation. | | | Before the nineteenth century, interpretation is identified with textual exegesis as a process that yields a single valid meaning. | | | Initially concerned with how we interpret texts, hermeneutics in the nineteenth century becomes the theory of understanding itself, dealing with texts only as one example of the event of understanding between persons. |

| | During the nineteenth century there was no clear boundary line between those who were considered to be part of the scientific community and those who were seen as outsiders. | | | By examining how the theories and practices of scientists were shaped by Victorian beliefs about religion, gender, imperialism and politics, the dictionary presents a rich panorama of the development of science in the nineteenth century. | | | It was during this century that the categories of 'professional scientist', 'amateur' and 'popularizer of science' were being debated and constructed. |

| | EH.Net Encyclopedia: Turnpikes and Toll Roads in Nineteenth-Century America |
| | In nineteenth century America, "turnpike" specifically means a toll road with a surface of gravel and earth, as opposed to "plank roads" which refer to toll roads surfaced by wooden planks. | | | Like the eighteenth century British turnpike trusts, the twentieth century American governmental toll projects financed (in part) by privately purchased bonds generally failed, relative to the nineteenth century American company model, to draw on use and esteem motivations. | | | It should be noted that turnpikes were not entirely exceptional enterprises in the early nineteenth century. |
