INTRODUCTION. The present work comprises a record of publications on North Ameri­ can geology, paleontology, petrology, and mineralogy for the year 1895. It is planned on the same lines as the previous bulletins (Nos. 130 and 135), excepting that abstracts appearing in regular periodicals have been omitted in this volume. Bibliography. The bibliography consists of full titles of separate papers, classified by authors, an abbreviated reference to the publica­ tion in which the paper is printed, and a brief summary of the con­ tents, each paper being numbered for index reference.

OF SEVENTH AND CHERRY STREETS. 1868.

STEREOTYPED BY MACKELLAR, SMITHS & JORDAN, PHILADELPHIA. CAXTON PRESS OF SHERMAN & CO., PHILADELPHIA- PREFACE. This work is designed to fill a vacuum in academies, seminaries, and families. With the advancement of science there should be a corresponding advancement in the facilities for acquiring a knowledge of it. To economize time and expense in this department is of as much importance to the student as frugality and in- dustry are to the success of the manufacturer or the mechanic. Impressed with the importance of these facts, and having a desire to aid in the general diffusion of useful knowledge by giving them some practical form, this work has been prepared. Its language is level to the comprehension of the youthful mind, and by an easy and familiar method it illustrates and explains all of the principal topics that are contained in the science of astronomy. It treats first of the sun and those heavenly bodies with which we are by observation most familiar, and advances consecutively in the investigation of other worlds and systems which the telescope has revealed to our view.

Qui n’a jamais entendu parler de la Grande Ourse ou observé la casserole dans le ciel ? Qui ne s’est jamais posé la question de la signification de ces figures, qu’on appelle « constellations », illustrant le ciel nocturne ? En fait d’explication, il n’y en a qu’une : ces figures sont le fruit du hasard, de notre position dans l’espace, de notre vision du ciel en 2 dimensions et surtout de notre imagination … 4 OrigineOrigine desdes nomsnoms L'origine des noms de nos constellations est très ancienne. On a retrouvé en Arménie sur des dalles datant du 4e millénaire avant notre ère des représentations du Cygne, du Taureau ou du Lion. Les Babyloniens utilisaient déjà une bonne partie des constellations attribuées ensuite aux Grecs, en particulier celles du zodiaque. 5 On retrouve l’origine des constellations peu de temps après l’apparition de l’écriture, puisque des symboles cunéiformes représentant ces constellations ont été décelés sur des textes et des objets de civilisations aujourd’hui disparues, situées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, il y a plus de 5 000 ans … Toutefois, il faudra attendre le IIème siècle ap. J-C. pour que l’astronome Grec Ptolémée procède à un découpage du ciel sur 1022 étoiles groupées en 48 constellations. Les constellations étaient ainsi la plupart du temps apparentées à des animaux ou figures mythologiques, dont l’utilité était aussi bien ésotérique (astrologie) que géographique, cartographique ou calendaire.

  • The Constellations and Asterisms of Petrus Apianus (1524–1536)

    The Constellations and Asterisms of Petrus Apianus (1524–1536)

    Appendix A The Constellations and Asterisms of Petrus Apianus (1524–1536) Petrus Apianus (Fig. A.1), also known as Peter Apian, Peter Bennewitz, and Peter Bienewitz, was one of the foremost mathematical publishers, instrument makers and cartographers of the sixteenth century. Born on 16 April 1495 in Leisnig, Saxony, he was one of four sons of Martin Bienewitz, a shoemaker of comfortable middle-class extraction. He was educated first at the Latin school in Rochlitz, and then from 1516 to 1519 at the University of Leipzig where he studied astronomy, mathematics, and cosmography. While at Leipzig, he Latinized his surname to “Apianus”, deriving from apis (“bee”) and equivalent to Biene in German. Apianus relocated to Vienna in 1519 to complete his degree at the University of Vienna, taking a B.A. 2 years later during an outbreak of plague. Fleeing the city, he landed first in Regensburg before settling in Landshut. He married Katharina Mosner, the daughter of a local councilman, in 1526 and by her had fourteen children. Among his sons was Philip Apianus, born 1531, who would later follow his father into the study of mathematics. Apianus was fascinated first and foremost by cosmography, a broad science of the Renaissance which set out to explain everything in the universe within a mathematical framework. He excelled in its study and later became one of its most famous practitioners; by modern standards, he can be thought of as one of the best applied mathematicians of his day. His interest in cartography was stimulated during one of the most momentous periods in European history: the Age of Exploration, witnessing the trailblazing voyages of the likes of da Gama, Columbus, and Magellan.
