The Claimants’ claim is for fraudulent misrepresentation, deceit and breach of trust. These claims arise out of various property dealings in and around Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea and Westminster, London, (the Area). 2. The First Claimant, Ms Clutterbuck has since 1985 been engaged in the business of acquiring, refurbishing, letting and selling and financing the development of properties in the Area. The Second Claimant, Mr Paton assists Ms Clutterbuck in her business by finding opportunities to acquire, refurbish, let, sell and redevelop properties. 3. But for the period during which it is alleged that unbeknownst to Ms Clutterbuck, Mr Paton and the Defendant were having an affair, it is not disputed that since about 1994 the Claimants have lived as man and wife.

His earliest known extended series of experiments were in chemistry and heat, specifically on arsenic and on specific and latent heats. This was around 1764,2 twelve years after he had left the university and four years after he had been elected to the Royal Society. His first publication came two years later, on the chemistry of air, when he was thirty-five; this was rather late for a scientific researcher to begin, but in this as in other ways he was not typical. Never in a hurry to bring his work before the world, he was concerned to perfect it before communicating it.

The life of Airy was essentially that of a hard-working, business man, and differed from that of other hard-working people only in the quality and variety of his work. It was not an exciting life, but it was full of interest, and his work brought him into close relations with many scientific men, and with many men high in the State.

  • 212 Publications of the Some Pioneer
    212 PUBLICATIONS OF THE SOME PIONEER OBSERVERS1 By Frank Schlesinger In choosing a subject upon which to speak to you this eve- ning, I have had to bear in mind that, although this is a meeting of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, not many of my audience are astronomers, and I am therefore debarred from speaking on too technical a matter. Under these circumstances I have thought that a historical subject, and one that has been somewhat neglected by the, formal historians of our science, may be of interest. I propose to outline, very briefly of course, the history of the advances that have been made in the accuracy of astronomical measurements. To do this within an hour, I must confine myself to the measurement of the relative places of objects not very close together, neglecting not only measure- ments other than of angles, but also such as can be carried out, for example, by the filar micrometer and the interferometer; these form a somewhat distinct chapter and would be well worth your consideration in an evening by themselves. It is clear to you, I hope, in how restricted a sense I am using the word observer ; Galileo, Herschel, and Barnard were great observers in another sense and they were great pioneers. But of their kind of observing I am not to speak to you tonight. My pioneers are five in number ; they are Hipparchus in the second century b.c., Tycho in the sixteenth century, Bradley in the eighteenth, Bessel in the first half of the nineteenth century and Rüther fur d in the second half.

Inventory of Gran Canaria fossil bryozoans in the Busk Collection known or believed to have come from the Charles Lyell Collection 1. Introduction Charles Lyell (1797–1875) was the leading geologist of his day.1 His work proved enormously influential to natural historians seeking to understand both the physical processes involved in the formation of geological structures, and the nature of the fossil record. The key concept of uniformitarianism – ‘the present is the key to the past’ – owes more to Lyell than to any other geologist. Among numerous other notable achievements, he was responsible for the subdivision of the Tertiary into Epochs that could be recognized largely from the proportions of extinct vs. extant species they contained. It is well known that Charles Darwin carried with him on the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle a copy of Volume 1 of Lyell’s Principles of Geology (Lyell 1830). This seminal book allowed Darwin to interpret the geology he saw in terms of gradual physical processes that have shaped the earth over the immensity of geological time; indeed, time sufficient to accommodate Darwin’s emerging belief that the diversity of life developed by the slow transmutation of species from a common ancestor, i.e.

  • The Legacy of Henri Victor Regnault in the Arts and Sciences
    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 4(13):377–400 (2011) Copyright c 2011 by InternationalJournal.org THE LEGACY OF HENRI VICTOR REGNAULT IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES Sébastien Poncet Laboratoire M2P2, France Laurie Dahlberg Bard College Annandale, USA The 21 st of July 2010 marked the bicentennial of the birth of Henri Victor Regnault, a famous French chemist and physicist and a pioneer of paper photography. During his lifetime, he received many honours and distinctions for his invaluable scientific contributions, especially to experimental thermodynamics. Colleague of the celebrated chemist Louis-Joseph Gay- Lussac (1778-1850) at the École des Mines and mentor of William Thomson (1824-1907) at the École Polytechnique, he is nowadays conspicuously absent from all the textbooks and reviews (Hertz, 2004) dealing with thermodynamics. This paper is thus the opportunity to recall his major contributions to the field of experimental thermodynamics but also to the nascent field, in those days, of organic chemistry. Avid amateur of photography, he devoted more than twenty years of his life to his second passion. Having initially taken up photography in the 1840s as a potential tool for scientific research, he ultimately made many more photographs for artistic and self-expressive purposes than scientific ones. He was a founding member of the Société Héliographique in 1851 and of the Société Française de Photographie in 1854. Like his scientific work, his photography was quickly forgotten upon his death, but has begun to attract new respect and recognition. Keywords: Henri Victor Regnault, Organic chemistry, Thermodynamics, Paper photography. INTRODUCTION Henri Victor Regnault (1810–1878) (see Figures 1a & 1b) was undoubtedly one of the great figures of thermodynamics of all time.

    Travels in America: Aelred Carlyle, His American “Allies,” and Anglican Benedictine Monasticism Rene Kollar Saint Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, Pennsylvania N FEBRUARY 1913, Abbot Aelred Carlyle and a majority of the Benedictine monks of Caldey Island, South Wales, renounced the Anglican Church and converted to I Roman Catholicism.1 For years, the Caldey Island monastery had been a show piece of Anglo-Catholicism and a testimony to the catholic heritage of the Anglican Church, but when Charles Gore, the Bishop of Oxford, tried to regularize their status within Anglicanism by forcing Carlyle and the monks to agree to a series of demands which would radically alter their High Church liturgy and devotions, the monks voted to join the Church of Rome. The demands of the Great War, however, strained the fragile finances of the island monastery, and during the spring of 1918, Abbot Carlyle traveled to America to solicit funds for his monastery. “And it was indeed sheer necessity that took me away from the quiet shores of Caldey,” he told the readers of Pax, the community’s magazine, but “Caldey has suffered grievously through the war.”2 Abbot Carlyle saw a possible solution to his problems. “In our need we turned to our Catholic Allies in the United States, and my duty seemed obvious that I should accept the invitation I had received to go to New York to plead in person the cause of Caldey there.” Carlyle had not forgotten lessons from the past. During his years as an Anglican monk, the American connection proved to be an important asset in the realization of his monastic dreams.
