    Extractions: 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.

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.

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.

Although the content is highly varied, there is significant strength in astronomy, natural history, conchology, and geology. Administrative information Scope and content The Scientists Collection is a miscellaneous assemblage of individual letters and small groups of correspondence of American and European scientists from the 17th through 20th centuries. The disciplines represented are varied, with significant depth in natural history, conchology, geology, and astronomy, and there are separate series for physicists (58 items, relating especially to Max Planck), and American-Russian scientific exchange prior to the Russian Revolution (46 items). The circle of Darwin and, more generally, of mid-19th century British natural historians, is also well represented in the Scientists Collection. Included in the collection are valuable letters from John Edward Gray, William Whewell, John Lubbock, and John Stevens Henslow, and there is a small set of letters from Robert Chambers, as well as a fascinating exchange between the publisher John Murray and the naturalist, Henry W. Bates, concerning publication of Bates'

97. Commentary, April 21, 2000 - Lives Of The Conjurers

    Extractions: 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."

     Extractions: 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.
