‎CROMMELIN - LONGITUDE AT SEA‎

‎An Adaptation of Major Grant's Graphical Method of Predicting Occultations to the Elements Now Given in the Nautical Almanac‎

‎8vo. 6 pages, plus 2 large folding diagrams. A rare separate offprint printed for the Royal Geographical Society. Publisher's blue titled wrappers, string-tied and bearing the society's crest. Some light foxing, otherwise in very good and original condition. The author, a respected astronomer and well-known authority on comets, renders praise to the primary research and calculations of Major S.C.N. Grant in 1896, which forms the basis for his dissertation. With meticulous and detailed instruction Crommelin presents a simplified method to predict and decipher the instantaneous and momentary occultation of stars which greatly simplifies the detremination of Longitude at Sea. He further introduces the application to the Solar Eclipse phenomenon. Exceedingly rare dissertation by an important nineteenth century astronomer. Six years prior to Crommelin's study, Grant published a six page report and illustration, titled "Diagram for Determining the Parallaxes in Declination and Right Ascension of a Heavenly Body, and its Application to the Prediction of Occultations." Crommelin was famed for his computations of cometary orbits. He took part in expeditions to observe total solar eclipses in 1896, 1900, 1905, 1912, and 1927. In 1919 he participated in the solar eclipse expedition to Brazil which aimed to determine the amount of the deflection of light caused by the gravitational field of the Sun. The results from these observations were crucial in providing confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity, which Albert Einstein had proposed in 1916.‎

‎From Cornwall to Queensland and Beyond: Dr Adoniah Vallack Explorer and Adventurer‎

‎North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2019. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Black and White Photographs. 145 pages Dr Adoniah Vallack was well known in Australia especially in Sydney in 1848–49. He had played a vital part in the aftermath of Edmund Kennedy's ill-fated expedition to explore the coast of Queensland up to Cape York. Recruited as the expedition's doctor Vallack had arranged to join the 13 others at Port Albany. In this he was fortunate since only Galmarra the Aboriginal tracker made it that far. Vallack led the rescue of the two other survivors and reported Galmarra's extraordinary story. Vallack was Cornish-born and had lived for a decade at Singleton in the Hunter Valley where he was known for his medical skills community spirit and concern for the well-being of Aborigines. Immediately after the Kennedy expedition he left for California where he sent reports to the Australian press of the gold rush of 1849–50. He returned for the Victorian gold rush but soon travelled again this time to Canada where he was involved in the mystery surrounding the murder of a government official in the years leading to Union of the provinces in 1867. .

‎Probable effects of over female emigration, or importing the fair sex from the savage islands in consequence of exporting all our own in Australia !!!!‎

‎Londres Bogue s.d. [1851] in-12 oblong (15 x 39 cm) en feuille‎

‎Très célèbre caricature colorisée du grand Cruikshank (1792-1878) parue dans le Comic almanack and diary. Elle illustre à sa manière satirique les effets délétères de l'envoi en Australie de jeunes femmes anglaises à fin de fournir des compagnes à la surabondante population masculine de l'Australie, qui, depuis les années 1800, avait surtout reçu détenus et mauvais garçons dont l'Angleterre souhaitait se débarrasser. Donc, les jeunes filles épousables étant parties au loin, des négociants avisés font venir d'Australie et du Pacifique des cargaisons de jeunes indigènes : débarquées sur le quai, d'allure plus que fortement mélanésienne, aguichantes et provocatrices, elles suscitent l'immense stupeur - pour ne pas dire plus - d'un groupe de gentleman anglais à la fois pâles et guindés.‎
