William E. Wilson (1851-1908) - The Work and Family of a Westmeath Astronomer
Wilson was a wealthy gentleman who could afford to indulge his hobby of Astronomy. He was attracted to this subject when, as a teenager, he took part in the Total Eclipse Expedition to Algeria in 1870. He set up a well-equipped private Observatory at Daramona House in Streete, County Westmeath. His contributions to Astronomy included: The first fairly accurate estimate of the temperature of the Sun's visible surface; the first photo-electric measurements of the brightness of stars; a series of superb celestial photographs with a 24-inch Grubb reflector; The first use of cinematography in solar physics; One of the first to suggest that radio-activity might keep the stars shining. The book covers all these initiatives and much more. Wilson, though he never attended university, was elected to Fellowship of the (London) Royal Society and received an honorary doctorate from Dublin University. But the book covers his family and life style, with brief biographies of his contemporary scientific colleagues. The book is well illustrated with family and astronomical photographs. It is written for the 'educated layman', and no knowledge of Astronomy (or indeed science) is required.
The Arte of Defence
The rapier has been immortalized over the centuries and no more-so than today on stage and in film. Princess Bride, the Three Musketeers, and other films have brought this sword to life. Today, stage combatants, fencers, and re-enactors study the world of the rapier. William E. Wilson the founder of the Tattershall School of Defence brings the history and use of the rapier to life in this manual. He dispels many misconceptions about the weapon, discusses its history, and also its purpose and use. The theory and practice of many of the historical masters such as Capoferro, Fabris, Marozzo and others are distilled into a set of lessons, drills and theory simple enough for the beginner to follow.

Mobile
Beautiful Mobile, Alabama, on the Gulf of Mexico, has a colorful history dating back to its founding in 1702. View its rich past in photographs throughout time. Few photographers have captured the essence of Mobile to the extent of master photographer William Ernest Wilson. Wilson's photography vividly depicts Mobile life at the turn of the 20th century: from nationally elected officials such as Theodore Roosevelt to local Mardi Gras royalty; from entrepreneur Gordon Smith of Smith's Bakery to Africa Town founder Cudjoe Lewis; from a stately cathedral to country churches; from thriving banks and theaters to lumber yards and banana docks, the people and places of Mobile are revealed through W...

Previous control number 2/210. Archer should attend discussion. Will regret it if the affair goes off without him.
