‎Stability of Aeroplanes.‎

‎(Washington, Government Printing Office, 1915). 8vo. As extracted from ""the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution"". A fine and clean copy. Pp. 209-216.‎

‎First printing of Orville Wright's speech on the longitudinal equilibrium, or how to keep the stability of aeroplanes, thus being one of the very first manuals on how to fly an aeroplane. ""Although in learning to fly the beginner finds most difficulty in mastering the lateral control, it is his lack of knowledge of certain features of the fore-and-aft equilibrium that leads to most of the serious accidents"". (From the introduction to the present speach). The Wright brothers were early on aware of the importance of longitudinal control. Most of the early airplanes - the ones that could actually lift off ground - had the decisive flaw of having bad, in some cases non-existing, longitudinal control which eventually caused the airplanes to crash. In the summer of 1910, the Wright Company introduced what would become their most popular aircraft - the Wright Model B. The Model B was a pusher biplane with wing warping to control roll, like their earlier aircraft. But unlike earlier aircrafts it also had a conventional tail assembly, which gave it better longitudinal stability, and it rested on wheels rather than skids, doing away with the need to launch the aircraft from a rail. This model was produced from 1910 through 1914. In 1911 the U.S. Congress made its first appropriation for military aviation. Four airplanes were ordered and numbers 3 and 4 were Wright Model B's. Both were accepted at Fort Sam Houston, Texas on April 17, 1911.The two brothers were also investigating automatic stability systems. They devised a mechanism that could sense changes in attitude and longitude which would make compensating adjustments to keep the aircraft flying evenly in the desired direction. It consisted of a pendulum, which sensed and controlled roll or yaw, and a vane, which sensed the aircraft's pitch. They applied for a patent for this automatic stabilizing system on February 8, 1908.""The culmination of the Wrights’ achievements came with Wilbur’s two flights at New York in 1909. On 29 September, taking off from and landing at Governors Island, he made a circuit of the Statue of Liberty"" on 4 October he flew a twenty-one-mile course to Grant’s Tomb and back. After their triumph the brothers quietly turned to teaching others to fly and to directing the Wright Company. They now had many imitators and rivals, and were forced to defend their pioneer patent in the courts."" (DSB).‎

‎By studying the vocabulary of the millers, millwrights and blacksmiths of the past who were active in northern France, the author preserves an immense lexical treasury, one that is especially important since the region has always been renowned for its production of oil and flour. This lexicon is an indispensable complement to traditional dictionaries, which have devoted little attention to technical vocabulary: more than twenty per cent of its definitions and words are new. It provides clear and precise definitions, examples that are as diverse and detailed as possible, and numerous illustrations, which will interest not only the specialist in mills but any researcher who, in working with archives, is confronted with technical texts.Through the varied entries in this dictionary, we see a new image of the mill, one that has evolved over the centuries and that commands our admiration. Here at last is a dictionary that gives a voice to manual workers over the centuries, it is they who have freed us from the heaviest of our labours and indirectly facilitated the blossoming of intellectual life. En etudiant le vocabulaire des meuniers, des charpentiers de moulins et des forgerons d'autrefois, qui furent actifs dans le nord de la France, l'auteur sauvegarde un immense tresor lexical d'autant plus important que la region a toujours ete renommee pour sa production de farine et d'huile. Ce lexique est un complement indispensable aux dictionnaires traditionnels qui ne s'interessent guere au vocabulaire technique : plus de vingt pour cent des definitions ou des mots sont nouveaux. Les definitions claires et precises, les exemples aussi diversifies et detailles que possible, ainsi que les nombreuses illustrations interesseront non seulement le specialiste des moulins, mais tout chercheur qui, dans les archives, se voit confronte a des textes techniques. A travers les differents articles de ce dictionnaire, c'est une nouvelle image du moulin qui emerge, une image qu'on voit evoluer au cours des siecles et qui force notre admiration. Voici enfin un dictionnaire qui donne la paro'e aux travailleurs manuels : au cours des siecles ils ont libere l'homme des travaux les plus lourds et indirectement facilite l'essor de l'esprit.

‎QUAESTIONUM MEDICO-LEGALIUM, TOMI TRES.‎

‎Editio prima Vemeeta, Lugdunensi & Noribergensi, quae passim foedis scatebant erroribus, multa emendatior: Accedunt Interpolationes & Auctaria ex novis Inventis & Observationibus Recentiorum Auctorum, Cur JOANNIS DANIELIS HORSTII... Opus omnibus medicinae et juris utriusque peritis, necnon Tribunalium (Ecclesiastici, Civilis) Assessoribus maxim necessarium. ex Typogr. Bonifacii Viezzeri, Venetiis, 1737. In 4 gr. (mm. 345x232), 3 volumi, p. pergamena coeva (piccole manc., due voll. con macchie), titolo ms. al dorso, pp.num. (16),404; 371; (8),336; testo su due colonne.L'opera divisa in dieci libri, i quali contengono in un'ampia esposizione tutta la materia medico-legale e fuono considerati come un testo classico non solo in Italia, ma in Europa. Tutte le questioni che l'A. sottopone sono risolte con l'autorit di medici e di giureconsulti, con la citazione delle pi importanti norme legislative di ogni tempo; nell'ultimo libro si trovano 85 consigli, responsi e decisioni dei Tribunali (raccolti da Lanfranco Zacchia suo nipote), cosicch, per chiunque voglia occuparsi a fondo di questa disciplina, il libro di Zacchia costituisce una miniera preziosa di cognizioni importantissime. Cos Castiglioni, p. 563.Paolo Zacchia (1584 - 1659), medico del Papa Innocenxo X e Protomedico Generale di tutto lo Stato Ecclesiastico, e l'uno dei pi dotti uomini del XVII secolo, era nativo di Roma. Coltiv egli le belle lettere, la poesia, la musica, la piattura, la giurisprudenza, la teologia, e tutte le altre scienze, il che non imped di essere uno dei pi periti medici del suo secolo; non manc chi il chiamasse il Mercurio dei Medici e dei Giureconsulti, e chi l'Ermete italiano.. La sua opera "Quaestionum Medico-Legalium" eccellente; vi si trova molta erudizione, e giudicio, ed necessaria ai teologi che applicano allo studio dei casi di coscienza. Cos Eloy Dizionario sotrico della medicina,VII, p. 281.Cfr. Castiglioni Storia della Medicina, p. 563: La medicina legale trov uno sviluppo notevole ed un mirabile progresso nel libro di Paolo Zacchia "Quaestiones medico-legales" stampato a Roma nel 1621-1635.. Pochi medici raccolsero cos universale venerazione dai contemporanei come lo Zacchia, del quale si leggono in tutti gli scrittori del tempo elogi tali da far ritenere che egli veramente godesse un'autorit indiscussa, non solo fra i medici, ma anche fra i giureconsulti.. Il Haller ne parl con un plauso grandissimo; il Portal, un secolo e mezzo dopo la pubblicazione di quest'opera, chiedeva che essa fosse pubblicamente spiegata in tutte le Universit di Francia; il Platner ne loda l'erudizione profonda; non vi opera che tratti di quest'argomento fino al principio dell'800, nella quale non si ritrovino le tracce della poderosa impronta lasciata da quest'uomo veramente geniale. Risg. con spacchi e arross.; con qualche arross., fiorit. e lievi aloni margin., ma complessivam. buon esemplare. ‎
