I am dismayed to learn that the indexation of 'Josiah Conder' doesn't include the earlier J. Conder born 1789, died 1855. He was an author ahead of his time on a wide variety of topics. His Magnus Opus was perhaps a 30 volume copilation with the title Modern Traveller: A Description of the Various Countries of the Globe (1824-30) [Masuzawa, Tomoko (2005) The Invention of World Religions] (Mark the modern use of language: modern, description, countries, globe).

The early J. Conder is very significant as a "time marker" in the transition period between a pre-modern and modern age. And I wonder what circumstances and events that influenced this early "modernist". Among other, I think that he was made subject to a bad smallpox vaccination, which caused him to lose sight on his right eye, was one such influential event. Perhaps the early Josiah Condor could be mentioned under the rubick "modernism"?
