    Extractions: Joseph Fourier 's father was a tailor in Auxerre. After the death of his first wife, with whom he had three children, he remarried and Joseph was the ninth of the twelve children of this second marriage. Joseph's mother died went he was nine years old and his father died the following year. His first schooling was at Pallais's school, run by the music master from the cathedral. There Joseph studied Latin and French and showed great promise. He proceeded in 1780 to the Ecole Royale Militaire of Auxerre where at first he showed talents for literature but very soon, by the age of thirteen, mathematics became his real interest. By the age of 14 he had completed a study of the six volumes of 's Cours de mathematique. In 1783 he received the first prize for his study of Bossut 's In 1787 Fourier decided to train for the priesthood and entered the Benedictine abbey of St Benoit-sur-Loire. His interest in mathematics continued, however, and he corresponded with C L Bonard, the professor of mathematics at Auxerre. Fourier was unsure if he was making the right decision in training for the priesthood. He submitted a paper on algebra to

This letter concerns the various offers for reprinting Delambre's eulogy of Lalande, in which he summarizes his many accomplishments, as an astronomer, teacher, friend, and inspiration to other great astronomers. Delambre himself had been approached by a M. Sauro of Du Moniteur, while a M. Millin had been dealing with Mme. Lalande. Delambre discusses the possible formats in which the eulogy could be produced, and questions who would bear the costs of the production. He proposes a compromise in which Sauro would be granted the right to produce offprints, and Millin would reprint the eulogy in his journal, Magasin encyclopédique.II.

    Extractions: Article taken from "Backsights" Magazine published by Surveyors Historical Society Jean Baptiste Joseph Delambre (1749-1822), an eminent mathematician and astronomer, was born at Aiens, September 19, 1749. Delambre and Smithson - by F. D. Bud Uzes Few people today are aware of the indebtedness of the United States to Jean Baptiste Joseph Delambre, one of the best known geodesist-astronomers of his time. Delambre's Base du system Metrique was published in three volumes (1806-10), which shows that he was still engaged upon it at the time he wrote the letter which forms the basis for this story. A leading English scientist, Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society, wrote to Delambre in 1809, who at that time was the Permanent Secretary of the Mathematical Sciences from France. Banks advised Delambre that Mr. M. Smithson, one of the members of the Royal Society and a person held in high esteem in the scientific community, was being held as a political prisoner of war by the French military, and urgently requested his release. Upon receipt of Banks' letter, Secretary Delambre wrote a letter to the French Minister of War requesting Smithson's release from prison. The original document is reportedly now in the Columbia University Library. Noted along the upper left corner of the letter are words, added by the Minister of War or his deputy, indicating the request was granted.
