Main September 06, 2002 A Cheerful Casaubon From time to time I'm going to be posting excerpts from Aubrey's Brief Lives , a set of charming biographies generally more talked about than read, at least until the republication of Oliver Lawson Dick's 1957 version by Nonpareil Books. As background for these posts, here are the opening paragraphs to Dick's life of John Aubrey (1626-1697). Not long after John Aubrey's death, a wise man warned us against treating books like members of the nobility: that is, against learning their titles and bragging afterwards of acquaintance with them. Yet this has been peculiarly Aubrey's fate; for his reputation is founded almost entirely upon hearsay and the piecemeal quotation of his work by other writers. The reason for the extraordinary neglect of this man of genius is not hard to find and the fault, it must be admitted, is entirely his own. For Aubrey's love of life was no intense, his curiosity so promiscuous and insatiable, that he proved quite incapable of completing any work he undertook. Each one was started in a most businesslike and practical fashion, but before long the original plan was always buried beneath the flood of digressions and notes, of horoscopes, letter and stories, which his restless mind seemed powerless to control. Having decided to write a life, Aubrey selected a page in one of his notebooks and jotted down as quickly as possible everything the he could remember about the character concerned: his friends, his appearance, his actions, his books and his sayings. Any facts or dates that did not occur to him on the spur of the moment were left blank, and as Aubrey was so extremely sociable that he was usually suffering from a hangover when he came to put pen to paper, the number of these omissions was often very large. In the first flush of composition, too, his mind raced so far beyond his pen that he frequently resorted to a sort of involved shorthand and made use of signs instead of words.

September 06, 2002 An Interesting Counterfactual Tim Hames sets up an interesting hypothetical to clarify the case for pre-emption: Let us suppose that the various US intelligence agencies had been more skilful (or more fortunate) in piecing together the few clues they had about al-Qaeda 12-15 months ago. Suppose then that George W. Bush had announced that he had reason to believe that at some point shortly (he did not know where, when or how) a major attack would be undertaken against American targets. He was convinced that the source of the potential outrage would be the al-Qaeda organisation and that it could conduct such an operation only because it was being actively assisted and sheltered by the Taleban in Afghanistan. He wished therefore, to complete the scenario, to launch a huge missile assault on alQaeda and also planned to impose “regime change” in Kabul. He could not be sure whether his statement would prevent whatever was being plotted against the United States occurring but it would make any further outrages much more difficult. What would have been the reaction of the Liberal Democrats, chattering class opinion, church leaders, most European nations, the Arab world or the members of the UN Security Council? Would they have said, as Mr Blair might have, that the President was acting reasonably or would they have demanded considerably more “proof” and a transnational “consensus” before action was taken? I think we know the answer. The same people, organisations and countries who now oppose taking on Iraq would also have opposed intervention against Afghanistan. And they would have been wrong, while Mr Bush would have been right.

This list contains names found in Christ Church books catalogued on OLIS , the Oxford University online union catalogue. Additional information on book provenances may also be found in old catalogues, shelflists and library accounts held in Library Records Names may be present in books for a variety of reasons. It was the custom for many years for members of the House to present books to the Library on graduation , and such donations were often recorded in inscriptions. In these cases, the books were unlikely ever to have been in the personal library of the donor, who may have given money for their purchase rather than the books themselves. The presence of more famous names may record presentations by authors of one of their works, either to the library itself or to a previous owner. A proportion of these names represents former owners of the books, which later made their way by bequest, donation or purchase to the library at Christ Church. Finally, there are a small number of names of binders, second-hand booksellers and authors of letters found inside books. Forms of name are taken where possible from the Library of Congress Name Authority File, supplemented by Joseph Foster's

Book Review
Philip J. Davis Mathematical Apocrypha
Steven G. Krantz
Mathematical Association of America, Washington, DC, 2002, 214 pages (with an outstanding collection of photos, including one of Sonya Kowa-levskaya dressed for a party in a cat costume) "I love anecdotes . . . [but] if a man is to wait till he weaves anecdotes into a system, we may be long in getting them, and get but few, in comparison of what we might get."
-Samuel Johnson, in Boswell's A Tour of the Hebrides Dr. Johnson loved anecdotes. Steven Krantz, a professor of mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, loves anecdotes. Everyone loves anecdotes. Anecdotes are multi-purpose. They can serve as an antidote for a dull rainy afternoon when theorematic inspiration seems remote, or for a dull stuffy evening when the TV is saturated with stupid reruns. Anecdotes can spice up a classroom lecture or a dreary sermon. They can be garnered at International Congresses or used there for purposes of name-dropping. They can be picked up in otherwise mind-numbing biographies of mathematicians. They can, in the words of Constance Reid, in her preface to the book under review, "encapsulate a mathematician's character or personality with all the economy of a formula." At the same time, they can serve to encapsulate character falsely; such was the case with George Washington and the cherry tree. They can reduce a character to dust and ashes. I suppose the three most famous anecdotes about mathematicians would include the story of how Pythagoras (c. 550 BC) sacrificed an ox after he discovered that the square root of 2 is irrational. A second would be Archimedes yelling "Eureka" in the public bath. And a third would be Newton and his apple.

SIN-EATING IN THE AMMAN VALLEY
By Dr. Huw Walters, B. Lib.
Carmarthen Historian, Volume XV (1978)
A biography which recently proved to be of considerable interest to me was that written by Paxton Hood on the life and times of that fiery Welsh preacher, Christmas Evans (1). In the first chapter of the work, the author deals with the characteristics of Welsh preaching during the period 1750-1850, and also deals in a somewhat romantic manner with the Welsh language and its speakers' superstitions. Whilst dealing in detail with some of these superstitions, he says: "No doubt the proclamation of the Gospel and the elevated faith which its great truths bring in its train, broke the fascination, the charm and power of many of these superstitions, but they lingered even until the last forty or fifty years-indeed the superstition of the sin-eater is said to linger even now in the secluded vale of Cwmaman in Carmarthenshire." (2) Being a native of the Amman Valley, my interest and curiosity in the sin-eater were naturally aroused. Subsequent research revealed that the duty of the sin-eater was to take upon himself the sins of a deceased person. Upon the death of an inhabitant of a locality, the sin-eater would be summoned and would place a plateful of salt covered with a slice of bread upon the breast of the deceased. After the recitation of appropriate charms over the body, the sin-eater would then proceed to eat both bread and salt, and wash them down with a tankard of beer. It was generally believed that the sins of the deceased were transferred to the unfortunate wretch through his consumption of the salt and bread. A paltry sum of sixpence or a shilling would then be paid to him before he was driven over the threshold to the sound of oaths, and threats never to return again.

Science and Human Values
The Search for Truth
Chapter Two
We cannot shirk the historic question, "What is truth?" On the contrary: the civilization we take pride in took a new strength on the day the question was asked. The four great developments of human intellect - I think they are religion, art, philosophy, and science - have their marching orders each in their own unique ways to search for truth. While the search for truth in religion is vastly different than that in science, and the search in art contrasts enormously with that in philosophy, there have always been two ways of looking for truth found in each approach. One is to find concepts which are beyond challenge. The other is that all truth is accessible to test. In the first case, concepts were held to be true because they are held by faith or by authority or the conviction that they are self-evident. This is the mystic submission to truth which the East has chosen, and we shall consider that in a later chapter. It is also the method which dominated the axiomatic thought of the scholars of the Middle Ages (to which we shall also return later on). So Saint Augustine (354-430 A.D.), one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of early Christianity and the leading figure in the church of North Africa would argue that "I must believe in order to understand." Augustine had a profound influence on the subsequent development of Western thought and culture and, more than any other person, shaped the themes and defined the problems that have characterized the Western tradition of Christian theology. And by the middle of the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas produced a synthesis between Aristotelian philosophy and Christian doctrine, stressing the harmony between reason and faith, thus establishing the foundation of natural theology. He was a traditionalist who upheld reason as a respected method for extending the boundaries of human knowledge, and he more than anyone helped make science once again respectable in Christian Europe after a long period of being its being considered pagan. Aquinas held that faith is a higher guide to truth than knowledge is: the master of medieval science put science firmly into second place.

Overview of the life of Francis Bacon Rawley's Life of Bacon William Rawley(1588-1667) became Bacon's domestic chaplain and secretary shortly after the latter was made Lord Keeper. After Bacon's death Rawley edited a number of his works and became the (self-appointed) guardian of Bacon's legacy. His life of Bacon was published in 1657 alongside a collection of Bacon's English works in the Resuscitatio Aubrey's Description of Verulam and Gorhambury The antiquary John Aubrey (1626-1697) visited Verulam and Gorhambury in 1656 and provided the fullest account we have of the house on which Bacon lavished great attention. Ben Jonson, 'Lord Bacon's Birthday' Ben Jonson wrote this ode in 1621, to celebrate the sixieth birthday of the Lord Chancellor. A lavish banquet was held on the occasion at York House, which was leased by the Archbishop of York to the incumbent Lord Keeper. As Jonson mentions in the poem, Bacon was born in the house, during his father's tenure as Lord Keeper. Aubrey's Account of the Death of Bacon The first printed account of Bacon's death, by Pierre Amboise (1631) described him as staying out of doors too long while conducting experiments into the effects of cold. The celebrated account given by Aubrey, on the authority of Thomas Hobbes, is far more picturesque. Bacon's Letter to the Earl of Arundel This letter written by Bacon to Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel, to explain his presence in the earl's house where he had been taken after being taken ill on a journey lends some credence to Aubrey's account. It was printed by Tobie Matthew in his

Zénith
I found the images below, of the balloon Zénith on its twenty-four hour flight from Paris to Arcachon (near Bordeaux) in March of 1875, amongst the many prints and photographs of the Tissandier collection , held at the Library of Congress . On doing a follow-up search about the Zénith We are descending. Temperature, 3 degrees. I throw out ballast. Barometer, 12.4 inches. We are descending. Sivel and Croce still in a fainting state at the bottom of the car. Descending very rapidly. All this is an extremely confused remembrance, quickly extinguished, for again I fell back inert more completely than before, and it seemed to me that I was dying. What happened? It is certain that the balloon, relieved of a great weight of ballast, at once ascended to the higher regions. The above account is taken from Chapter XIX of The Dominion of the Air: The Story of Aerial Navigation by Rev. J. M. Bacon (1902), as reproduced here Posted by misteraitch at 02:54 PM Comments (1) TrackBack
