Nevil Maskelyne (1732—1811) Fifth Astronomer Royal (1765—1811) Born: 1732, London, England Died: 1811 Buried: St Mary the Virgin, Purton, Wiltshire Astronomer Royal: 1765 - 1811 A graduate of Trinity College Cambridge, Nevil Maskelyne became assistant to the then Astronomer Royal, Bradley in 1757. He was ordained in 1755 but never took a post in the Church. In 1761 he was sent by the Royal Society to the island of St Helena to observe the transit of Venus, with the aim of using this information to calculate the distance of the Earth from the Sun. Bad weather prevented any useful observations being made, however Maskelyne used his journey to develop a method of calculating longitude called the lunar distance method. A vested interest in an astronomical solution to the longitude problem could have been seen as a conflict of interests, but this did not stop the Board of Longitude sending Maskelyne to Barbados in 1763 to test Harrison 's No. 4 timekeeper.

Home Geography Digest Archives One Nevil Maskellyne August 2000 The distinctive conical shape of Schiehallion in Perthshire is one of Scotland's best known landmarks. It was first identified on Ptolemy's map about 145AD. Schiehallion has a unique place in science. In 1774 Nevil Maskelyne , British Astronomer Royal, conducted his famous experiment on the deflection of a pendulum caused by the mass of Schiehallion itself. The experiment required that Maskelyne first establish observation stations at various points of equal height around the base of the upper hill. He could then compare the apparent difference in latitude, measured astronomically, with the true difference in latitude. Archives Digest DMCA and other information 11-Aug-2004 9:10

After the ‘Australianisation’ of the Australian Corps in the spring of 1918 Smyth commanded the British 58th and 59th Divisions. His courage at Lone Pine in 1915 won him the respect and admiration of the Australians that he never lost. Brudenell White, Chief of Staff of the Australian Imperial Force, described him as ‘sphinx-like, silent and imperturbable’. He was certainly a man of few words and the Australians, perhaps with their training in Egypt in mind, referred to him as ‘The Sphinx’. Major-General Smyth emigrated to Australia in 1925.

Our magic 'ai lu ce texte, il y a de cela quelques années déjà, et il me semble qu'il s'agit de l'un des textes théoriques les plus importants sur l'art de la magie (peut-être avec Magie et Mise en scène de Henning Nelms et Strong Magic de Darwin Ortiz) . Ce livre doit être étudié par toute personne qui se dit un tant soit peu magicien. Il s'agit (à ma connaissance) du premier ouvrage théorique sur l'art de la magie. Bien que la forme soit un peu vieillotte, il reste étonnamment d'actualité. Loin de moi l'idée de faire une traduction "littéraire" et littérale de cet ouvrage (j'en serai d'ailleurs bien incapable). J'ai simplement essayé de le traduire de la manière la plus efficace possible, en tentant de simplifier dans la mesure du possible, les tournures de phrases, souvent alambiquées de l'anglais du début du XX ème siècle. J'ai pris la liberté de supprimer quelques passages lorsqu'ils m'ont semblé obsolètes. Un grand merci à Michael Pillevesse pour sa patience lors de sa relecture systématique de ma traduction, ses corrections et son aide.

97. Commentary, April 21, 2000 - Lives Of The Conjurers John nevil maskelyne was the famous magician of the period, who with his partnerCooke very proficiently exposed the frauds of his day. http://www.randi.org/jr/04-21-2000.html

April 21, 2000 Lives of the Conjurers In a 1876 book printed in London and titled, "Lives of the Conjurors," author Thomas Frost discusses the interesting life histories of magicians, without giving away any professional secrets and concentrating on the impact these persons had on the entertainment world in general. When he gets to the conjurors of his own day, he provides his readers with some observations about the flim-flamartists who were plying their trade so successfully, riding the coattails of the conjurorsa situation not unlike what we are faced with today. In fact, this has been the situation all through history. I quote from Frost's book in order to indicate to you the parallels to be found between this present situation and that of 125 years ago. The language is somewhat different, the references are of course dated, but we can see here that human nature has not changed very much. "Some amount of mischief may have been done by Mesmerists, and a great deal has undoubtedly been wrought by so-called Spiritualists; but a broad and readily recognised line separates the conjuror from the quack. The former honestly avows, that he is going to take advantage of the fallibility of our senses to perform a seeming impossibility by means which we cannot detect but which he acknowledges to be derived from the natural laws by which the universe is governed. The latter pretends to be the medium of a supernatural power, and attempts, not merely to illude1 the senses, but to impose upon the understanding."

100. 2/Alistair Maskelyne's Response Jasper maskelyne, descendant of the famous English magician John Nevilmaskelyne (1839 1917), tells a similar story that was a personal experience in his http://www.maskelynemagic.com/2alistairmaskely.html

Previous Next Part Two " ...most books in the field are badly written: either egregiously overwritten for effect, drama, suspense; or given to hypothesised dialogue in order to lend the air of a story to the proceedings... or ghost-written, plain tales from the ranks turned into gussied-up fabrications at the hands of professional ghost writers..." "...No wonder, then, that as a field the literature is not taken seriously by serious readers. This is too bad. It is a very serious field." American historian Robin Winks Inspired by Booth's articles in The Linking Ring, I originally hoped to present an account of Jasper Maskelyne's wartime adventures based not only on the material in David Fisher's book but also on Maskelyne's own account, "Magic-Top Secret", if it could be located. In addition, by exploring recently released information about parallel wartime deception operations, I aimed to provide a more up-to-date analysis of the events in question. As you will see over the next few articles, I have still kept to this general plan. However, the story of Jasper Maskelyne is a complex one and before discussing his adventures in the North African campaign we need to clear some important preliminary ground.
