Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Philosophical Society of Washington, Vol. 15 Samuel Pierpont Langley, the third Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, astronomer and physicist, famed the world over for epoch-making contributions to our knowledge of the sun and the establishment of tho principles of aerial flight, passed away in his seventy-second year, at Aiken, South Carolina, on the twenty-seventh of February, 1906. Mr. Langley was descended of families which came to Massachusetts in the early part of the 17th century, and to a great extent remained in the colony and even in the State itself. In a biography prepared by the late George Brown Goode eleven years ago, it was pointed out that an unusual number of his ancestors were skilled mechanics and artisans, while, on the other hand, a group of them were of the most intellectual men of early New England - clergymen, schoolmasters, and indeed one of them, Increase Mather, a president of Harvard College and the author of the first American work upon astronomy.
