I had for months an engineer working in this territory – George E. Bent… He opened up the great Le roi mines in British Columbia and was for years associated with the Rothschilds of London in the development of their properties in Africa and in India. Mr. Bent’s opinion as expressed to me is that this copper country in Ontario is going to be a second Butte." Accompanying the typed letter signed is a retained typed copy of a letter by Bent to Peard offering upbeat ore analysis and development recommendations for four mining claims owned by the Canadian Gold and Copper Estates. Bent’s letter mentions a “statement” on these claims by Robert W. Armstrong and R.A. Teasdale. A copy of this mining statement is included here. It analyzes in detail the gold and copper ore potentials of seven mines owned by the Canadian Gold and Copper Estates. Accompanying the letters and statement is a blueprint map showing the location of the claims owned by the Canadian Gold and Copper Estates near Lake Huron. Rounding out the group is a Memorandum proposing the incorporation of the Canadian Gold and Copper Estates. A Board of Directors is proposed with a majority of them to be Canadians and with field management to be supervised by George E. Bent. unknown

Sweet Anticipation: Music And The Psychology Of Expectation

2008Best.-Nr. 192216Cambridge Massachusetts: The MIT Press 2008. Softcover. VG light wear to edges & corners; rubbing to spine ends. green & orange illustrated wraps w/ white printing. 462 pgs w/ figures charts & tables. A nice bright copy. "The psychological theory of expectation that David Huron proposes in Sweet Anticipation grew out of the author's experimental efforts to understand how music evokes emotions. These efforts evolved into a general theory of expectation that will prove informative to readers interested in cognitive science and evolutionary psychology as well as those interested in music. The book describes a set of psychological mechanisms and illustrates how these mechanisms work in the case of music. All examples of notated music can be heard on the Web." "Huron proposes that emotions evoked by expectation involve five functionally distinct response systems: reaction responses which engage defensive reflexes; tension responses where uncertainty leads to stress; prediction responses which reward accurate prediction; imagination responses which facilitate deferred gratification; and appraisal responses which occur after conscious thought is engaged. For real-world events these five response systems typically produce a complex mixture of feelings. The book identifies some of the aesthetic possibilities afforded by expectation and shows how common musical devices such as syncopation cadence meter tonality and climax exploit the psychological opportunities. The theory also provides new insights into the physiological psychology of awe laughter and spine-tingling chills. Huron traces the psychology of expectations from patterns of the physical and cultural world through our imperfectly learned heuristics used to predict that world to the phenomenal qualia we experience as we apprehend the world."--Jacket.
