Pacific Northwest Americana Charles W SMITH'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA CHARLES W. SMITI-I'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA A CHECK LIST OF BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EDITION 3, REVISED AND EXTENDED BY ISABEL MAYHEW OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY BINFORDS Sc MORT, Publishers, PORTLAND, OREGON 1950 FOREWORD IN April 1908, Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, was induced by fellow librarians to prepare a co-operative check list of books and pamphlets relating to the Pacific Northwest and available in librar- ies of the region. A plan was agreed upon whereby each library furnished a card list of its holdings to Mr. Smith, who as compiler codified the records and edited the resultant union list. The volume was published in 1909 by the Washington State Library under the title, Check-List of Books and Pamphlets Relating to the History of the Pacific Northwest to be Found in Representative Libraries of That Region. The title indicates clearly that the intention of the compiler and his collaborators was to prepare a list of actual holdings and not a comprehensive bibliography. Twelve years later, most of the libraries had grown in stature and their hold- ings of Pacific Northwest Americana had more than trebled.It was time to prepare a second edition, revised and enlarged, and one might even say consider- ably improved for the librarians of the region had learned much about biblio- graphy in more than a decade of growth and experience. Ihis edition, bearing the short title, Pacific Northwest Americana, was published in 1921. Eighteen libraries co-operated in its preparation. The work became a popular and valued reference book and other libraries evinced an interest in being included in any future edition which might appear. Consequently, many libraries of the Pacific Northwest entered into an agreement to report regularly to the Bibliography Committee of the Pacific Northwest Library Association future additions to their holdings of Pacific Northwest Americana. Since 1921 there has been a tremendous increase in the number of Pacific Northwest titles published and, as the libraries of the region have been better off financially, the resources of the region have grown geometrically. The desirability of an up-to-date check list has been indicated for the past ten yeals; edition two is out of print, and the thousands of new library acquisitions deserve record- ing in a union list. Early in 1948 Isabel Mayhew of the Reference Division of the University of Washington was appointed editor of a third edition of the Check List.Her manuscript is a complete revision and the additions reflect not only new imprints dated 1948 and earlier, hut also the resources of many new libraries. In all, thirty-eight institutions have now contributed lists of their holdings. In such a compilation as this union Check List some errors are inevitable. This is due to the fact that it was prepared with the collaboration of many busy librarians and not by electronic robots. In spite of this, we have every right to believe that it will prove to be an invaluable guide to the location of more than 11,000 entries.Furthermore, it should prove a boon to book collectors and dealers as well as librarians. This new edition of Pacific Northwest A mericana is a project of the Biblio- graphy Committee of the Pacific Northwest Library Association. The production of a co-operative reference tool such as a union check list entails much work on the part of many people. Acknowledgment is due all librarians who supplied the card entries from the thirty-eight participating libraries.Without their whole-hearted support, the union check list simply would not exist today. Isabel Mayhew devoted almost two years to the meticulous work of editing and preparing the manuscript. J. Ronald Todd, Curator of the Pacific Northwest Collection at the University of Washington, has been largely responsible for the maintenance of the expanding union catalog of Pacific Northwest resources from which the check list entries were drawn. He has also taken a lively part in fostering the work of the Editor. To the extent that the Check List is good, we are indebted to Charles W. Smith, compiler of the first two editions, who has guided the cumulation of manuscript entries for the third. What is more, he has examined the new manuscript searchingly. On the basis of his knowledge of Pacific Northwest Americana, it has been possible to winnow out many in- appropriate entries that otherwise might have found their way into the final draft. In the fall of i949, the Executive Board of the Pacific Northwest Library As- sociation endorsed the publication of the third edition, and agreed to sponsor its publication by the Oregon Historical Society. A debt of gratitude to this Society should be acknowledged.Its Superintendent, Lancaster Pollard, made an early publication possible. His enthusiastic willingness to publish the Check List and his skill in producing an attractive volume are much appreciated. Inez Haskell, Librarian of the Society, has also done much to augment the manuscript by supplying additional entries and bibliographical information essential toa well edited book. Finally, a word of thanks to the authors of books about the Pacific Northwest. Their enterprise has made a new Check List of Pacific Northwest Americana essential and its contents of interest to everyone who appreciates the growth and development of Western United States and Canada. HARRY C. BAUER Chairman, Bibliography Committee Pacific Northwest Library Association 3 july 1950 PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION THE third edition of the Smith Check List, Pacific Northwest Americana, is based directly on the second edition (1921) which has been enlarged and ex- tended to and including the year 1948. Both editions were sponsored by the Bibliography Committee of the Pacific Northwest Library Association. The present edition shows in one volume the library regional resources of the area now served by the Pacific Northwest Bibliographic Center. Included within the area are the states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington; together with British Columbia, Alaska, and the Yukon. To (1u()te from the preface to the second edition, "The word history [as it appears in the subtitle] has been used in the broadest sense including a wide range of literature bearing upon the region." Furthermore, certain regional imprints have been arbitrarily included as have certain general works written by regional authors. In order to keep the present edition within hounds, certain criteria have been established to govern content thus excluding whole classes of material, regardless of rarity or historical importance.For example, the second edition included "some few state and federal documents of rarity and inlpOrtal1ceandreprints and excerpts from magazines, when of historical importance." Ihe third edition includes no documents, reprints, or excerpts because itis felt that these are covered by standard lists and indexes. Following is the list of material excluded: Broadsides, Chamber of Commerce publications, clippings, directories, documents (federal, state and local), excerpts from periodicals and books, manuscripts, maps, periodicals, reprints from periodicals, scrapbooks, and general works with only parts or sections pertaining to the Pacific Northwest. Books or pamphlets published as special numbers of periodicals have been includedifthey are devoted entirely to one Pacific Northwest subject. Imprints later than 1948 have not been included. Pacific Northwest Americana is a union list of holdings of 38 retjresentative libraries of the region, not a comprehensive bibliography of imprints. Conse- quently, no attempt has been made to check publishers' catalogues or other printed sources of information in order to assure coverage of all items relating to the region. If a title is not contained in one or more of the participating libraries, it is not included in the Check List, no matter how rare or important it may be. The "Key to co-operating libraries" lists the symbols which are used to show the locations of each item unless seven or more libraries have a particular book, in which case the word "Many" is used. Obviously, the full strength of the co- operating libraries cannot be accurately guaged by the Check List because of excluded classes listed above, because most libraries have arrearages in catal- oging, and because entries for the third edition were closed on July 1, 1949 when final editing began. It was the original intention of the Bibliography Committee to submit manuscript copies of the Check List to the contributing libraries in order that they might check their own holdings and thereby greatly increase the accuracy of the list. This proved inexpedient because of the time inolved and the prohibitive cost of issuing the volume under such conditions.

  • Lomonosov, the Discovery of Venus's Atmosphere, and Eighteenth Century Transits of Venus
    Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, 15(1), 3-14 (2012). LOMONOSOV, THE DISCOVERY OF VENUS'S ATMOSPHERE, AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURY TRANSITS OF VENUS Jay M. Pasachoff Hopkins Observatory, Williams College, Williamstown, Mass. 01267, USA. E-mail: [email protected] and William Sheehan 2105 SE 6th Avenue, Willmar, Minnesota 56201, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The discovery of Venus's atmosphere has been widely attributed to the Russian academician M.V. Lomonosov from his observations of the 1761 transit of Venus from St. Petersburg. Other observers at the time also made observations that have been ascribed to the effects of the atmosphere of Venus. Though Venus does have an atmosphere one hundred times denser than the Earth’s and refracts sunlight so as to produce an ‘aureole’ around the planet’s disk when it is ingressing and egressing the solar limb, many eighteenth century observers also upheld the doctrine of cosmic pluralism: believing that the planets were inhabited, they had a preconceived bias for believing that the other planets must have atmospheres. A careful re-examination of several of the most important accounts of eighteenth century observers and comparisons with the observations of the nineteenth century and 2004 transits shows that Lomonosov inferred the existence of Venus’s atmosphere from observations related to the ‘black drop’, which has nothing to do with the atmosphere of Venus. Several observers of the eighteenth-century transits, includ- ing Chappe d’Auteroche, Bergman, and Wargentin in 1761 and Wales, Dymond, and Rittenhouse in 1769, may have made bona fide observations of the aureole produced by the atmosphere of Venus.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

EDITED BY: Wayne Bailey [email protected] 17 Autumn Lane, Sewell, NJ 08080 RECENT BACK ISSUES: http://moon.scopesandscapes.com/tlo_back.html FEATURE OF THE MONTH – JANUARY 2019 CARDANUS & KRAFFT Sketch and text by Robert H. Hays, Jr. - Worth, Illinois, USA September 24, 2018 04:40-05:04 UT, 15 cm refl, 170x, seeing 7/10, transparence 6/6. I drew these craters and vicinity on the night of Sept. 23/24, 2018. The moon was about 22 hours before full. This area is in far western Oceanus Procellarum, and was favorably placed for observation that night. Cardanus is the southern one of this pair and is of moderate depth. Krafft to the north is practically identical in size, and is perhaps slightly deeper. Neither crater has a central peak. Several small craters are near and within Krafft. The crater just outside the southeast rim of Krafft is Krafft E, and Krafft C is nearby within Krafft. The small pit to the west is Krafft K, and Krafft D is between Krafft and Cardanus. Krafft C, D and E are similar sized, but K is smaller than these. A triangular-shaped swelling protrudes from the north side of Krafft. The tiny pit, even smaller than Krafft K, east of Cardanus is Cardanus E. There is a dusky area along the southwest side of Cardanus. Two short dark strips in this area may be part of the broken ring Cardanus R as shown on the. Lunar Quadrant map.

  • An Early St'at'imcets-Chinook Jargon Bilingual' Text 1 Introduction 1 2 About the Newspaper
    "Fox and Cayooty": an early St'at'imcets-Chinook Jargon bilingual' text Henry Davis and David Robertson University of British Columbia and CHINOOK List This paper contains a transliteration (from the original Duployan shorthand) and . translation of an early bilingual St'at'imcets-Chinook Jargon text, with accompanying historical, orthographical and grammatical notes. The story was first published in 1892 in the Kamloops Wawa newspaper by the oblate priest J-M.R. Le Jeune; it thus counts as one of the earliest texts in either language. 1 Introduction 1 It is well known to the student of Salishan languages and cultures that before the time of Franz Boas, extremely few coherent texts, as opposed to relatively numerous fragmentary word-lists, of northwest Native American languages were collected and published. The nascent modern disciplines of anthropology and linguistics demanded such documentation. However, another force besides science played a considerable role in the earliest recordings of indigenous languages of this region: The activities of Christian missionaries, which led to work allowing in some cases (viz. Joseph Giorda, S1's 1871 dictionary of Kalispel) an excellent view of historical stages in the lives of these languages otherwise lost to us.2 An example of the same phenomenon is available to us also in the Kamloops Wawa newspaper published by Oblate father J.-M.R. Le Jeune from 1891 to about 19043, primarily in the Chinook Jargon, of which it is an extensive and often overlooked document. In volume 2, Issue 47 of Kamloops Wawa, dated October 16 [sic], 18924, we find under the English heading "Recreative" the following: Kopa Pavilion ilihi nsaika tlap ukuk hloima syisim kopa Lilwat wawa[:] Fox and Cayooty.~.

TRANSIENT LUNAR PHENOMENA: REGULARITY AND REALITY Arlin P. S. Crotts Department of Astronomy, Columbia University, Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, 550 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027, USA Received 2007 June 27; accepted 2009 February 20; published 2009 April 30 ABSTRACT Transient lunar phenomena (TLPs) have been reported for centuries, but their nature is largely unsettled, and even their existence as a coherent phenomenon is controversial. Nonetheless, TLP data show regularities in the observations; a key question is whether this structure is imposed by processes tied to the lunar surface, or by terrestrial atmospheric or human observer effects. I interrogate an extensive catalog of TLPs to gauge how human factors determine the distribution of TLP reports. The sample is grouped according to variables which should produce differing results if determining factors involve humans, and not reflecting phenomena tied to the lunar surface. Features dependent on human factors can then be excluded. Regardless of how the sample is split, the results are similar: ∼50% of reports originate from near Aristarchus, ∼16% from Plato, ∼6% from recent, major impacts (Copernicus, Kepler, Tycho, and Aristarchus), plus several at Grimaldi. Mare Crisium produces a robust signal in some cases (however, Crisium is too large for a “feature” as defined). TLP count consistency for these features indicates that ∼80% of these may be real. Some commonly reported sites disappear from the robust averages, including Alphonsus, Ross D, and Gassendi.

    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.
