Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, Vol. 2 This volume forms the second of a series, composed of original memoirs on different branches of knowledge, published at the expense, and under the direction, of the Smithsonian Institution. The publication of this series forms part of a general plan adopted for carrying into effect the benevolent intentions of James Smithson, Esq., of England. This gentleman left his property in trust to the United States of America, to found at Washington an institution which should bear his own name, and have for its objects the "increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." This trust was accepted by the Government of the United States, and an Act of Congress was passed August 10th, 1846, constituting the President and the other principal executive officers of the general government, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Mayor of Washington, and such other persons as they might elect honorary members, an establishment, under the name of the "Smithsonian Institution, for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." The members and honorary members of this establishment are to hold stated and special meetings for the supervision of the affairs of the Institution, and for the advice and instruction of a Board of Regents, to whom the financial and other affairs are entrusted. The Board of Regents consists of three members ex officio of the establishment, namely, the Vice President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the Mayor of Washington, together with twelve other members, three of whom are appointed by the Senate from its own body, three by the House of Representatives from its members, and six citizens appointed by a joint resolution of both houses. To this board is given the power of electing a Secretary and other officers, for conducting the active operations of the Institution. To carry into effect the purposes of the testator, the plan of organization should evidently embrace two objects, - one, the increase of knowledge by the addition of new truths to the existing stock; the other, the diffusion of knowledge, thus increased, among men. No restriction is made in favor of any kind of knowledge, and hence each branch is entitled to and should receive a share of attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, Vol. 13 Having given the tidal record in a form ready for use, the observations next require to be properly tabulated for the purpose of deducing empirically their laws, and for comparison with theory. In the United States Coast Survey two blank forms are in use for this tabulation; they have in their essential part been adopted as suitable for the Van Rensselaer Harbor tides, and were used with permission of the Superintendent of the Survey. They are strictly applicable only for such cases where the diurnal inequality is comparatively small, or is at least not approximating to the production of single day tides. In order to show, at a glance, the general character of the tides under discussion, they were plotted a second time, and are given in Plates I, II, and III; the observations having previously been referred to the same mean level. From these diagrams it appears that the diurnal inequality is not of so great an effect as to render the use of the ordinary method of reduction unavailable; on the other hand, it is sufficiently large to require a special discussion for time and height. The extension of the series of observations over a whole year must be considered as a fortunate circumstance, since the results thereby gain considerably in accuracy over others deduced only from a few disconnected lunations. The tidal record would not be complete without the observations for direction and force of the wind, and for atmospheric pressure; the reader will find these records in my discussion of the meteorological material of the expedition, in Vol. XI, Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, 1859. The following pages contain the first tabulation of the preceding record, viz: column 1 contains the date, civil reckoning, adopted for convenience sake. Co lumu 2 gives the apparent time (civil reckoning) of the moon's superior and inferior transit over the Van Rensselaer meridian, obtained by adding nine minutes to the time of transit at Greenwich, allowing for a difference of longitude of 411 4sam W. The mean time was converted into apparent time by applying the equation of time. The time for the lower transit was obtained by taking the mean of the time of the preceding and following upper transit. Columns 8 and 4. Contain the apparent time of high and low water, taken from the record; in some cases a graphical method was resorted to, to obtain the instant of these phases with greater precision. The equation of time has been applied to the mean time in which the observations are expressed. Columns 5 and 6 contain the lunitidal interval between the time of high water and low water, and the time of the transit of the moon immediately preceding, though in some cases, owing to the half-monthly inequality, it may be the second preceding, the establishment being about 11% hours. This transit of comparison has been called transit F by Mr. Lubbock.1 The next columns, 7 and 8, give the height of high and low water, extracted from the preceding abstract. The remaining columns contain the moon's parallax and declination at noon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, 1871, Vol. 17 The Act of Congress, establishing the Institution, directs, as a part of the plan of organization the formation of a Library, a Museum, and a Gallery of Art, together with provisions for physical research and popular lectures, while it leaves to the Regents the power of adopting such other parts of an organization as they may deem best suited to promote the Objects of the bequest. After much deliberation, the Regents resolved to divide the annual income into two parts - one part to be devoted to the increase and diffusion of knowledge by means Of original research and publications - the other part of the income to be applied in accordance with the requirements of the Act of Congress, to the gradual formation of a Library, a Museum, and a Gallery of Art. The following are the details of the parts of the general plan of organization provisionally adopted at the meeting of the Regents, Dec. 8, 1847.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution: Showing the Operations, Expenditures, and Condition of the Institution for the Year 1874 From a comparison Of the several distances Of the planets, taking five. Ninths Of the distance Of Neptune from the center of attraction and five ninths Of this product, &c., he finds among the several terms of the geometrical series thus formed, those which represent the relative dis tance Of Saturn and Jupiter, also a position among the asteroids and those which represent the distance Of Mars, and of Mercury in aphelion. There are, however, in the geometrical series just mentioned, terms which do not find their correspondences in the series Of distances of the planets, but which the author very ingeniously supplies by attributing to certain Of the planets the characteristic Of half planets, the term pertaining to them being indicative of the distance between the two planets at which their masses would be united. Section III exhibits an explanation of the phenomena founded on the nebular hypothesis of La Place, which seems to reconcile and account for the laws in question as well as a number of other phenomena. Approximation to these laws have, from time to time, been exhibited by the author Of this paper to the American Association for the Advance ment Of Science at several Of its meetings, beginning with that at New Haven, in 1850; but it is only within the past few months that the entire form and consistency Of the results have been quite fully made out. The principal part of the memoir was read before the National Acad emy of Sciences at its meeting in April, 1873, and some additional por tions Of the same at the meeting in April, 1874. In accordance with usage in such cases, the work was accepted for publication in the Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge.
