Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Xiv, 487 Pp. Clean Pages, Slightly Aged, In A Modern Sturdy Blue Cloth Binding, Spine Gilt, By Tassinari Bros. Of Indian Orchard, Ma. Light Wear. Two New Hampshire Institutional Stamps. Simon Newcomb (1835 -1909) Was A Canadian-American Astronomer, Applied Mathematician And Autodidactic Polymath. Newcomb Visited Paris, France In 1870, Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris, He Realized That, In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used, There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672, And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878, Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light, Using A Refinement Of The Method Of Léon Foucault. A Letter From Albert Abraham Michelson Began A Long Collaboration And Friendship. In 1880, Michelson Assisted At Newcomb's Initial Measurement, But Michelson Left To Start His Own Project. Miichelson Published His First Measurement In 1880 (Reprinted Here), But Newcomb's Measurement Was Substantially Different, And, In 1883, Michelson Revised His Measurement To A Value Closer To Newcomb's. In 1881, Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law, Formulating The Principle That, In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data, More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit. In 1891, Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude, Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble, Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble, As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth, Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel. He Wrote On Economics And His Principles Of Political Economy (1885) Was Described By John Maynard Keynes As "One Of Those Original Works Which A Fresh Scientific Mind, Not Perverted By Having Read Too Much Of The Orthodox Stuff, Is Able To Produce From Time To Time In A Half-Formed Subject Like Economics." He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Hostility To C. S. Pierce, And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight. (Source: Wikipedia). Albert A. Michelson (1852-1931) Performed Early Measurements Of The Velocity Of Light With Amazing Delicacy And In 1881 He Invented His Interferometer For The Purpose Of Discovering The Effect Of The Earth's Motion On The Observed Velocity. In Cooperation With Professor E.W. Morley, And Using The Interferometer, It Was Shown That Light Travels At A Constant Speed In All Inertial Systems Of Reference. The Instrument Also Enabled Distances To Be Measured With Greater Accuracy By Means Of The Length Of Light-Waves. At The Request Of The International Committee Of Weights And Measures, Michelson Measured The Standard Metre In Terms Of Wavelength Of Cadmium Light. He Invented The Echelon Spectroscope And During His Wartime Service In The Navy He Performed Research Work On Devices For Naval Use - He Developed A Rangefinder Which Was Adapted As Part Of U.S. Navy Equipment. On His Return To Civilian Life, Michelson Became More Interested In Astronomy And In 1920, Using Light Interference And A Highly Developed Version Of His Earlier Instrument, He Measured The Diameter Of The Star Betelgeuse: This Was The First Determination Of The Size Of A Star That Could Be Regarded As Accurate. He Was The First American To Receive The Nobel Priize For Physics. (Nobel Lectures, Physics 1901-1921, Elsevier Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1967). With 1985 Purchase Receipt Of Space Scientist Richard E. Bateman From Astronomy Book Dealer Paul Luther.

"He thinks in a peculiar train, and he thinks always as a man of genius; he looks round on Nature and on Life with the eye which Nature bestows only on a poet; the eye that distinguishes, in every thing presented to its view, whatever there is on which imagination can delight to be detained, and with a mind that at once comprehends the vast, and attends to the minute.

"A striking, though little commented on, feature of late seventeenth-century Ulster society was the writing of family histories. The two best examples of the phenomenon are the histories of the families of Montgomery, written by William Montgomery of Rosemount, Co. Down in the years 1697 to 1704, and of Hamilton, written by William Hamilton in the 1690s. Of these two compilers William Montgomery is of most relevance here. He was born on 27 October 1633, the eldest son of Sir James Stewart of Rosemount. He spent a good deal of the 1640s in Scotland, a refugee from the war of the early 1640s, and from 1649 in university at Glasgow and Leiden, a refugee from the parliamentary regime. A convinced royalist and loyal member of the Church of Ireland he was active in Restoration politics and was a member of the Irish parliament of 1661-1866. "After 1688 ill health forced him to retire from political life. He spent his remaining years at Rosemount, apart from a brief period in Scotland in 1689-90 during the Jacobite war, during which that text we now know as The Montgomery Manuscripts was written. selections from which appeared in the columns of the Belfast Newsletter in 1785 and 1786 and were reprinted in the Newsletter in 1822. These extracts were subsequently published in book form together with a preface by William McKnight in 1830. Over thirty years later George Hill prepared a new edition and included some fragments omitted from the 1830 edition. Hill's edition was published in 1869 by James Archer. It was published as a volume of 472 pages although it was never completed, because Hill never compiled the appendices that were to occupy the final ten pages."

2pp., 12mo, bifolium. Very good, on lightly aged paper. The letter reads: 'Strawberry Hill is to the classic world much more important than the turmoil of everlasting Politics. It will be a little refreshing as a contrast to your readers to hear of Horace Walpole - the Inclosed is from Gallignani's Journal[.] in Paris they give a better attention to the Arts as well as the nuisance of everlasting Politics'. Postscript reads: 'Would you like to have a card to see'. On the inner blank of the bifolium, there's a bookseller's catalogue entry for this letter (no.250 in the Catalogue of origin)According to his entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Robins's 'posthumous fame, or infamy, rests on the sale of 'the classic contents of Strawberry Hill collected by Horace Walpole' (25 April 21 May, and 1213 July 1842) when the bidding exceeded the wildest estimates. The Times reported the sale daily and the Illustrated London News had a profusely illustrated double page spread (21 May 1842). But Robins's cataloguing of the books and prints fell short and they were withdrawn, after six inexpert attempts, recatalogued by Leigh and Sotheby and sold in a separate ten-day sale in London, 1323 June 1842. On that occasion a notorious booksellers' ring operated.' The "Morning Chronicle"advertisement or coverage appeared on Tuesday 26 April, which suggests this letter was written on (Friday) 22nd (see Snodin etc, "Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill").
