Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 August 2, 1922) was an eminent scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone. Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work. His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone in 1876. In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study. Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Alexander Graham Bell became one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society. Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on March 3, 1847. The family home was at 16 South Charlotte Street, and now has a commemorative marker at the doorstep, marking it as Alexander Graham Bell's birthplace. He had two brothers: Melville James Bell (18451870) and Edward Charles Bell (18481867). Both of his brothers died of tuberculosis. His father was Professor Alexander Melville Bell, and his mother was Eliza Grace (née Symonds). Although he was born "Alexander", at age ten, he made a plea to his father to have a middle name like his two brothers. For his 11th birthday, his father acquiesced and allo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=852 ... Read more

Etc. Etc.My Dear Lord Napier,This Memorial of your great Ancestor, which it has been my ambition to present in a form worthy of the genius it records, I dedicate to you, in remembrance of the exemplary liberality with which the Archives of your noble family have been always open to illustrate the History and the Letters of Scotland.Yours affectionately,MARK NAPIEH.Edinburgh, November 1, 1839-INTKODUCTION.chapter{Section 4INTRODUCTION.In the Memoirs of Napier of Merchiston, published in 1834, some account was given of two manuscript treatises—one of Arithmetic, and the other of Algebra—composed in Latin by that celebrated mathematician, and which had remained in- edited in the charter-chest of his family, and indeed unknown to the world, until the Memoirs were published. Upon that occasion, little more could be afforded than a very imperfect review of their contents. The idea subsequently occurred, that it might gratify the lovers of science if these mathematical studies of (to adopt the expressions of the historian Hume) " The celebrated Inventor of Logarithms, the person to whom the title of Great Man is more justly due than to any other whom his country ever produced,"—were added as an appendixto a new edition of his Life. I have been induced, however, to publish the treatises in their present independent and more becoming form, by the spirited interposition of the Bannatyne and Maitland Clubs of Scotland ; whose unanimous patronage of the work,—with their characteristic care for, and pride in, the ancient letters of Scotland,—has alone enabled me to render the volume so worthy a memorial of Scotish genius.Napier's scientific manuscripts came into the possession, not of his ... ...
