A Narrative Of The Captivity Of Nehemiah How In 1745-1747, Nehemiah How, Victor Hugo Paltsits Dec 1747

A Narrative Of The Captivity Of Nehemiah How In 1745-1747, Nehemiah How, Victor Hugo Paltsits

Electronic Texts in American Studies

Nehemiah How was captured by a raiding party of Abenaki Indians October 11, 1745, outside the fort at Great Meadow (now Vermont). He was taken to Quebec and held captive until his death from "fever" on May 27, 1747. He was among several hundred English colonists taken prisoner during the war. His account recalls his treatment and records the comings and fates of dozens of other prisoners held at Quebec during what was known as King George's War, part of the global War of Austrian Succession.

A.G. Wineman & Sons Records, and Wineman, Williams, Guice, and Stockwell et al Family Papers

These copied pages from the Fairfax County Deed Book Liber A-1, 1742-1746 contain a deed between Hugh Cotswell and William Williams for one thousand, seven hundred and forty acres in Truro Parish, Fairfax County, Virginia. Handwritten notes on the margin and at the top of the first page of the deed indicated that Myrtis Wineman does not believe the William Williams named in the deed is her ancestor and why.

This paper begins with an expression of the trapezoid rule for "formal mechanical quadrature." Euler also sums the first ten terms of ζ(2) to get 1.549768 and gives an expression for the error term. Then he determines the sum of the first million terms of the harmonic series to be 14.392669.

De Indorum Anno Solari Astronomico, Leonhard Euler

All Works by Eneström Number

This work is an appendix following two other appendices in a book by Euler's friend and St. Petersbrg Academy colleague T. S. Bayer, Historia regni Graecorum Bactriani (History of the Bactrian kingdom of the Greeks). The original appendices were written by a Danish missionary in Tranquebar, C. T. Walther ("The Indian Doctrine of Time," pp. 145-190), and by Bayer himself, based on his correspondence with Walther and other Tranquebar missionaries ("Supplement to the Indian Doctrine of Time," pp. 191-200). Euler's contribution appears immediately after these.

All Works by Eneström Number

For an equation of degree n, Euler wants to define a "resolvent equation" of degree n-1 whose roots are related to the roots of the original equation. Thus, by solving the resolvent one can solve the original equation. In sections 2 to 7 he works this out for quadratic, cubic, and biquadratic equations. In section 8 Euler says that he wants to try the same approach for solving the quintic equation and general nth degree equations. In the rest of the paper he tries to figure out in what cases resolvents will work.

A Brief History Of The Pequot War (1736), John Mason, Paul Royster , Editor Dec 1735

A Brief History Of The Pequot War (1736), John Mason, Paul Royster , Editor

Electronic Texts in American Studies

John Mason’s posthumously published account is the most complete contemporary history of the Pequot War of 1636–1637. Written around 1670, and published in part in 1677 (although misattributed by Increase Mather to John Allyn), the complete text was issued by Thomas Prince in 1736. That text is reproduced here in a corrected and annotated edition that includes Prince’s biographical sketch of Mason and various dedicatory and explanatory documents.

John Mason (c.1600–1672) commanded the Connecticut forces in the expedition that wiped out the Pequot fort and village at Mystic and in two subsequent operations that effectively eliminated the Pequots as a …
