Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Theophrastus of Eresus: On Winds, Robert Mayhew provides a critical edition of the Greek text with English translation and commentary on the sole Peripatetic treatise devoted specifically to winds, by Aristotle’s successor in the Lyceum. This is the first edition of this text to appear in over forty years, and the first ever to make use not only of the twelve medieval manuscripts but also of the Oxyrhynchus papyrus fragment of this work (first published in 1986). The lengthy commentary attempts to explain this difficult (and often corrupt) text and its relationship to Aristotle’s meteorological theory and scientific methodology.

(6) Columns for Discount on Purchases and Discount on Notes on the same side of the Cash Book; (c) Columns for Discount on Sales and Cash Sales on the debit side of the Cash Book; (d) Departmental columns in the Sales Book and in the Purchase Book. Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical...

Excerpt: ...but capable itself of being conditioned, and even capable of appropriating the conditions of its fellows. See further on this point, Introd., p. 14. whenever the N. wind has been so cold that it continues freezing the moisture brought up by the S. wind; at least it more frequently freezes than thaws.68 The foregoing are what may be called the winter successions 55 and oppositions of the winds. But the confusion of winds that happens at the rising and setting of Orion happens because, at times of change, everything is naturally liable to get into confusion.69 Now, Orion rises at the beginning of Autumn and sets at the beginning of winter; so that as there is no established season for the time being, one in fact commencing and the other ending, the winds are of necessity uncertain and confused, because they stand on, as it were, debatable ground between the two seasons. And so it is that this constellation has acquired the reputation of being fierce, both when setting and when rising, by reason of the indefiniteness of the season; for it needs be that it should be disturbed and irregular. Such, and such as these, then are the phenomena that occur 56 in the air and throughout the Heavens; others are connected with our own conditions. For instance, with Southerly winds men find themselves more weary and incapable; and the reason is that, instead of a little, a great deal of moisture is produced, being melted out by the heat; and so instead of a light air, there is a heavy damp. Again power and strength reside in the joints; and these are relaxed by Southerly winds. For the lubricating matter in the joints when congealed prevents our moving ourselves; but when too fluid70 prevents our exerting 69 I cannot say that I am satisfied with this; nor...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theophrastus of Eresus on Winds and on Weather Signs: Translated, With an Introduction and Notes, and an Appendix, on the Direction, Number and Nomenclature of the Winds, in Classical and Later Times It is, perhaps, desirable to say a few words respecting the circumstances which have led to the preparation of this book. For nearly thirty years I have been a persistent searcher for old works upon Meteorology, partly like other hunters, from the universal desire to capture something; but I hope more with two other objects, (1) to form a centre where much of the meteorological literature of past ages could be consulted, and, as far as my own small efforts could go, to insure its permanent preservation; (2) to learn from it all that I could as to the growth of our knowledge of meteorology. I have always had before me, but I fear only as a vision never to be realised, the translation and publication of, at any rate, the most important of these works. Aristotle's Meteorology has been translated into English (but copies are very scarce), and there is the excellent French translation of Barthelemy St. Hilaire, and it is a large work. I thought, therefore, that it would be more prudent to begin with the smaller works of Aristotle's favourite pupil Theophrastus, which existed only in Greek and Latin; and in the Meteorological Magazine for July, 1892, I asked whether any one would volunteer to prepare the translation, promising that in that event I would undertake the cost of publication. I was favoured with no fewer than four offers, and accepted the first. Of how Mr. Wood has carried out his "congenial labour" it would be presumptuous for me to say one word, but it cannot be wrong to express my hearty thanks for his help, also for that proffered by others which it was not necessary to accept.

Download or read book Theophrastus of Eresus On Weather Signs written by C.W. Brunschön and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Weather Signs, traditionally ascribed to Theophrastus, contains the most complete list of such signs in antiquity and it was, in this or some very similar form, consulted by Aratus, Vergil (in Georgics I), and Pliny the Elder, as well as by many other authors throughout the Byzantine period. This edition is the first to take account of all the manuscripts and the commentary, the first in over a century, is on a far grander scale than earlier ones by Schneider (1818-21) and Wood (1894), listing almost all parallel texts for each sign. The introduction places the work in the context of its genre and for the first time lays out the details of its manuscript tradition.
