His tales of the Southern frontier include Guy Rivers (1834) and Beauchampe (1842; one part rewritten as Charlemont, 1856); those of colonial times are The Yemassee (1835) and The Cassique of Kiawah (1859); romances of Revolutionary times include a series— The Partisan Mellichampe (1836), and Katharine Walton (1851)—and The Forayers (1855) and its sequel, Eutaw (1856). He also wrote less successful novels of Spanish history. Besides continually writing fiction, he edited (1849–56) the Southern Quarterly Review and wrote local history and biographies of Francis Marion (1844), Nathanael Greene (1849), and others. His volumes of short stories are entitled Carl Werner (1838) and The Wigwam and the Cabin (two series, both 1845). His home and fortune were destroyed in the Civil War.

25. OASI - Brief History Of Troughton & Simms The firm was owned by two brothers, John and edward troughton. edward troughtoncollaborated closely with the Astronomers Royal Maskelyne and Pond on http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~ipswich/History/Troughton_and_Simms.htm

By Roy Gooding In the second half of the eighteenth century, a firm of instrument makers established itself as one of the best in the country. The firm was owned by two brothers, John and Edward Troughton. Of the two, Edward became the most widely known. Edward was born in 1753 in Corney, Cumberland. He spent his boyhood on his father's farm, before being sent to London to join his eldest brother, John, in 1770. John was managing an instrument making business that had been left to him by an uncle. Originally the business was located in Surrey Street, Strand, London, where it remained until 1782 when it was transferred to 136 Fleet Street. Edward was taken on as an apprentice before he was made a full partner. Both Troughtons suffered from the family trait of colour blindness. They were therefore not able to specialise in optics and had to contract out any optical work to either Dollonds or the Tulleys. The Troughtons concentrated on improving methods of graduating instruments. At first they constructed simple surveying and drawing instruments. During 1778 John made a dividing engine, after which they manufactured sextants and protractors. Edward invented a new way to divide and test arcs but was unable to take over that side of the business until 1785. One of his first jobs was to scribe a three foot radius astronomical quadrant, ordered by the Bilboa Observatory in Spain. It was one of the last quadrants to be made, as observations at this time were changing over to circular angular measuring instruments.

Pioneer of Precision Captain Henry Kater, FRS Largely forgotten today Captain Henry Kater (1777-1835) conducted pioneering researches in England in the early 19th century to improve the precision of weights and measures. Associated with this was the development of the reversible pendulum for gravity measurements. Kater was actively involved in the Royal Society of London and closely associated with scientists whose names are still familiar today such as Thomas Young, Humphry Davy and William Hyde Wollaston. Sponsored by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia, in its fiftieth year. Who was Captain Kater? Portrait of Captain Kater Early 20th century copy by Thea Proctor of original in the National Portrait Gallery, London (Private Collection) Kater was born in Bristol in 1777, joined the army at 22 and was sent to India where he assisted William Lambton in surveying for the Madras government. After some years he returned to England due to ill health, and was placed on half pay in 1814. Later that year he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. Kater was active as an officer of the Society as well as engaging in its scientific programs. He was especially engaged in precision measurements relating to the standardisation of weights and measures. In connection with this work Kater devised the reversible pendulum. He also made a number contributions to astronomy, including devising a method for graduating circles and the inventing the floating collimator. Kater corresponded widely on technical subjects with numerous British and European scientists. He died in London in 1835.

By Land and Sea Instruments of Place This display has been sponsored by The Institution of Surveyors (NSW Branch) How do we know where we are? This is no simple matter. With the modern satellite-based Global Positioning System, we can define a position on the globe with great accuracy. It has taken centuries of patience and ingenuity to achieve this result. As one hour is equivalent to 15 degrees difference in longitude, it became possible for the first time in the late 18th century for accurate maps to be produced. The quality and precision of the instruments required for determining local time by solar and stellar observations, and for charting reefs and coastlines, mountains and rivers, also improved dramatically in the late 18th century. The settlement of Australia was in part the legacy of these technological improvements. The Institution of Surveyors Pillar Mounted Sextant A large pillar-mounted sextant such as this was used for making accurate equal-altitude observations of the sun or a star for determining local time. By comparing local time with the time of another place such as Greenwich in England, maintained on a marine chronometer, it was possible to determine longitude. Thjis was particularly important in hydrographic surveying. Signed, "

The assistant to Fallows , Captain Ronald, brought the instrument out to the Cape and arrived on 19 November 1826.

Edward Troughton Edward Troughton (October June 12 ) was a British instrument maker, who was notable for making telescopes and other astronomical instruments. In he became a partner with his brother John, and soon established himself as the top maker of navigational, surveying and astronomical instruments in Britain. He created the Groombridge Transit Circle in , which Stephen Groombridge used to compile his star catalogue . He did not merely build instruments, but designed and invented new ones. He was awarded the Copley Medal of the Royal Society in In , in failing health, he took on William Simms as a partner and the firm became known as He was involved in a notorious lawsuit against Sir James South , who was dissatisfied with the quality of an equatorial mounting that Troughton had made for him. Troughton sued for payment, and with informal legal counsel provided by Richard Sheepshanks , he prevailed.

Yates, William R.; Cadoret, Remi J.; Troughton, Edward P.; Stewart, Mark; Giunta, Trista S. Abstract: Objectives: The objective of this study is to examine the effect of fetal alcohol exposure on later substance dependence using an adoption study method. Methods: One hundred ninety-seven adoptees were interviewed for substance abuse disorders, including nicotine, alcohol, and drug dependence. Twenty-one adoptees had mothers who drank during pregnancy. Adoptees with fetal alcohol exposure were compared with those without fetal alcohol exposure for symptoms of adult nicotine, alcohol, and drug dependence. Results: Adoptee symptom counts for alcohol, drug, and nicotine dependence were higher for those exposed to alcohol in utero. The effect of fetal alcohol exposure remained after controlling for gender, biological parent alcohol dependence diagnosis, birth weight, gestational age and other environmental variables. Conclusions: Fetal alcohol exposure may produce increased risk for later nicotine, alcohol, and drug dependence. Possible effects of fetal alcohol exposure on development of adult substance use patterns needs attention in genetic studies of substance abuse.
