JEAN-LAURENT PALMER

HMS Roebuck set out in 1699 with Dampier at the helm. It was intended as a circumnavigation, but it was the wrong season to navigate the horn of South America (which they must have known when they set out), so the ship, after sailing down the coast of South America, went east around the Cape of Good Hope instead, and, in 1701, it would return bythe same route.

When the Vatican Library sent a selection of its books and manuscripts to the Library of Congress in 1993, for exhibition, a manuscript of Biondo’s Roma instaurate was included (second image, above).The exhibition is still available online – here is the entry for Biondo. The title of the exhibition – Rome Reborn – was inspired by the title of Biondo’s book.LAURENT CASSEGRAIN
Laurent Cassegrain, a French instrument maker, died Aug. 31, 1693, at the age of about 64. Cassegrain, whose name is well known to amateur telescope makers, is the most shadowy of historical figures; we didn’t even learn his first name until 1997. In 1672, Cassegrain invented a new kind of reflecting telescope. IGNACE-GASTON PARDIES Ignace-Gaston Pardies, a French Jesuit physical scientist, was born Sep. 5, 1636. Pardies appears most often in historical narratives as an insightful critic of Newton’s early experiments on light, and as one of the earliest proponents of a wave theory of light. He was a fairly prolific writer, and we have 11 works in all by Pardies in our OGDEN ROOD - SCIENTIST OF THE DAY - LINDA HALL LIBRARY Ogden Nicholas Rood, an American physicist, was born Feb. 3, 1831. In 1879, Rood published Modern Chromatics, with Applications to Art and Industry, a lengthy title that would have been better phrased as Color Theory for Artists.There had been quite a few books published on color theory before Rood’s, but they tended to be written for other physicists and were lacking in practicalJOHN GRAUNT
John Graunt, an English tradesman, statistician, and epidemiologist, was born Apr. 24, 1620. To call Graunt a statistician and an epidemiologist, while true, is misleading, because neither discipline existed until Graunt published his milestone book, Natural and Political Observations Made Upon the Bills of Mortality, in 1662. As the title indicates, Graunt focused his attention on what were WALLACE CLEMENT SABINE Wallace Clement Sabine, an American acoustical physicist, was born June 13, 1868. Sabine was the first person to design a listening space on the basis of acoustics. Although he had no prior experience in acoustics or acoustical design, he was asked to improve the acoustics of the lecture hall in the new Fogg Museum in Harvard, which opened in1895.
JACQUES GAFFAREL
Gaffarel was born in 1601 in Mane, a little town in southeast France, not far from the important roads connecting France and Italy. De facto Gaffarel always lived between the two countries. He was a very successful student. Before the age of 25, he got a first PhD in theology from the University of Valence in France, a second PhD incanon law
NATHANIEL BAGSHAW WARD Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, an English physician and collector, died June 4, 1868, at age 77; his date of birth is unknown. In 1830, Ward accidentally discovered that plants, especially ferns, happily grow and flourish in glass boxes that are almost airtight (or, as he called them, “closely glazed”).816.363.4600
