Page 24 - It should not be assumed that the inhabitants are enemies to our government, and it is to be hoped that every effort will be made to prevent any wanton destruction of property, or any unkind treatment of citizens.
Page 1 - ... absolute quantity of that resistance in these greater velocities •will be near three times as great as it should be by a comparison with the smaller velocities.
Page 18 - As it had been found by our experiments of 1868 that the resistance of the air varied as the square of the velocity...
Page 4 - Teldgraphie, p. 106. On the institution of the Advanced Class of Royal Artillery [1864] Officers, 1864, the Council of Military Education invited me to undertake the Professorship of Applied Mathematics. I accepted that office, as it then appeared to me possible to obtain a satisfactory solution of the problem of the resistance of the air to the motion of projectiles, and also that this work might be completed in two years, supposing that reasonable assistance was afforded me in the small demands...
Page 15 - In the list of Candidates for the Royal Society which has just " reached me I see your name. Your certificate has never been " before me, and when I took my round in the Society's Meeting " Room expressly to look at certificates, I am most confident that " it was not there. Had I seen it I should assuredly have given " myself the pleasure of signing it.
Page 2 - in [1775 " conjunction with some able officers of the Royal Regiment of " Artillery, and other ingenious gentlemen, first instituted a course " of experiments on fired gunpowder and cannon balls" for government. His "account of them was presented to the Royal " Society, who honoured it with the gift of the annual gold medal, " and printed it in the Philosophical Transactions for the year
