The Stereoscope And The Stereograph

http://www.yale.edu/amstud/inforev/stereo.html

Extractions: Democritus of Abdera, commonly known as the Laughing Philosopher, probably because he did not consider the study of truth inconsistent with a cheerful countenance, believed and taught that all bodies were continually throwing off certain images like themselves, which subtle emanations, striking on our bodily organs, gave rise to our sensations. Epicurus borrowed the idea from him, and incorporated it into the famous system, of which Lucretius has given us the most popular version. Those who are curious on the matter will find the poet's description at the beginning of his fourth book. Forms, effigies, membranes, or films are the nearest representatives of the terms applied to these effluences. They are perpetually shed from the surfaces of solids, as bark is shed by trees. Cortex is indeed, one of the names applied to them by Lucretius. These evanescent films may be seen in one of their aspects in any clear, calm sheet of water, in a mirror, in the eye of an animal by one who looks at it in front, but better still by the consciousness behind the eye in the ordinary act of vision. They must be packed like the leaves of a closed book; for suppose a mirror to give an image of an object a mile off, it will give one at every point less than a mile, though this were subdivided into a million parts. Yet the images will not be the same; for the one taken a mile off will be very small, at half a mile as large again, at a hundred feet fifty times as large, and so on, as long as the mirror can contain the image.

G. Edward White first sketches Holmes's early years-his childhood in Boston, undergraduate years at Harvard, and his valiant service in the Civil War, during which he was severely wounded three times. After the war, Holmes went into private law practice, wrote his landmark treatise The Common Law in 1881, had a short tenure on the Harvard Law School faculty, and spent 20 years as a judge on the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts before being named to the U.S. Supreme Court. The author focuses on his remarkable 30-year service as a Supreme Court Justice, beginning in 1902, and details Holmes's most significant cases Abrams v.

http://www.quarterman.org/who/owholmesjr.html

Extractions: As you can see there is no known direct blood relation. However, the Holmes family was of the same general group of Puritans in Mass. as the Ways and others of the Midway group Justice Holmes' grandfather Rev. Abiel Holmes was pastor of Midway Congregational Church from 1785 to 1791; then he was pastor in Cambridge, Mass., for 40 years. That latter period, 1791-1831, overlapped with the period, 1823-1849, that Rev. Robert Quarterman was pastor at Midway. Hm, that leads to an interesting question. I wonder if the Cambridge church preserved any correspondence between them? The Holmes family, which mostly resided in Woodstock Connecticut, is also part of the Connecticut connection. As late as the Justice's father's generation there was active communication between the Midway people and some descendants of the other branch of the Dorchester Mass. church that had moved to Windsor, Conn.

PAPERS "This microfilm collection of Holmes’s papers is truly of major significance as a primary source of information. This is information not just about the man, but also about a most remarkable, nearly 80-year chapter in the history of America. These years witnessed momentous changes in almost every aspect of American life, and this presented unprecedented challenges to the American legal tradition. When preparing this review, the reviewer had access to all 72 microfilm reels. He observed that the photography was universally first-rate. Images were crystal clear and sharply focused." Microform Review The papers of Justice Holmes consist mainly of his correspondence, spanning the years 1861 through 1935. Holmes was a prolific and brilliant correspondent. His letters have long been acknowledged as an extraordinary record of a wide-ranging and imaginative intellect. Here, too, one sees Holmes freed from the glare of public attention, and the letters give us a vigorous expression of his views on a host of topics and events.

Extractions: at Amazon To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old. Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust. The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce. Nothing is so common-place as to wish to be remarkable. Why can't somebody give us a list of things that everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks. Nature, when she invented, manufactured, and patented her authors, contrived to make critics out of the chips that were left. What I call a good patient is one who, having found a good physician, sticks to him till he dies. What a comfort a dull but kindly person is, to be sure, at times! A ground-glass shade over a gas-lamp does not bring more solace to our dazzled eyes than such a one to our minds. All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called "facts." They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no "facts" at this table.

The author achieved prominence as a physician, poet, and humorist. His son, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., became a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. It is necessary, for the sake of those to whom the whole subject may be new, to give in the smallest possible compass the substance of the Homeopathic Doctrine. Samuel Hahnemann, its founder, is a German physician, now living in Paris, at the age of eighty-seven years. In 1796 he published the first paper containing his peculiar notions; in 1805 his first work on the subject; in 1810 his somewhat famous "Organon of the Healing Art;" the next year what he called the "Pure Materia Medica;" and in 1828 his last work, the "Treatise on Chronic Diseases." He has therefore been writing at intervals on his favorite subject for nearly half a century. [Hahnemann died in 1843.] The one great doctrine which constitutes the basis of Homeopathy as a system is expressed by the Latin aphorism

Extractions: Gallery of Images At once a well-known and easily mistaken identity, this name has meaning for the literary, legal, and medical communities the world over. This page is offered as a starting point for those who would like to know more of the Oliver Wendell Holmeses, the family, and their works. A brief introduction will be useful. Let's start from a point just about two hundred years ago, with a minister of religion (who was also an author ) named Abiel Holmes (1763-1837). His second wife, Sarah Wendell, and he had five children: Mary, Ann, Sarah, Oliver and John. This first Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894), doubtless somewhat influenced by family precedent, became a physician. He also became a writer , and was much in demand as a speaker. Doctor Oliver Wendell Holmes married Amelia Lee Jackson when he was thirty. They had three children: Oliver Wendell, Jr. (1841-1935), Amelia Jackson Holmes, and Edward Jackson Holmes. In 1875, Dr. Holmes was chosen to be the first President of the Boston Medical Library, remaining such until 1888 when he resigned primarily to meet his growing literary commitments. In the following year, Dr. Holmes gave nearly one thousand medical books to the Boston Medical Library, together with the shelving necessary to make them available to readers. His devotion was shared by his daughter, Mrs. Turner Sargent. She continued his generosity the next year with a bequest of a handsome sum of money to be paid over after the deaths of both the doctor and her brother, who was a judge. Dr. Holmes and his wife are interred in Cambridge at Mount Auburn Cemetery, where their monument can be
