004873Alnwick: H. H. Blair Four pieces of ephemera and three photographs relating to the Alnwick Mechanics' Institute dated between 1869 and 1878. All are lightly worn with evidence of being removed from a scrapbook one of the photographs has a small surface abrasion and tear leading to slight loss of image towards lower right hand corner. The ephemera includes a broadside dated 1869 with list of prize winners for various subjects including chemistry art and mathematics; two handbills about the fiftieth and fifty-fourth anniversary of the Institute; and a handbill about an extension to the building as the class sizes have grown with a list of subscribers. The three photographs are probably c.1874 and probably show the interior of the building during the fiftieth anniversary exhibition. The building still stands is now a Grade 2 listed building and is possibly the oldest surviving purpose-built Mechanics' Institute. Though famously dismissed by Engels in 'The Condition of the Working Class in England' as where "all education is tame flabby subservient to the ruling politics and religion so that for the working-man it is merely a constant sermon upon quiet obedience passivity and resignation to his fate" the Mechanics' Institutes did provide an introduction to education for many who otherwise would not have had any access.

Fine English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (28 x 20 cm). In Turkish. 32, [6] p., b/w ills. Ebu'l-Izz-Cezerî Kongresi. 14 Mart, 1996, Kayseri. A study on Abu al-'Iz Ibn Isma'il ibn al-Razaz al-Jazari, (1136-1206). It's considered that he was pioneer in the field of cybernetics. He was a polymath; a scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, craftsman, artist, and mathematician from Jazirat ibn Umar (current Cizre, Ottoman Turkey), who lived during the Islamic Golden Age (Middle Ages). He is best known for writing the al-Jami? bain al-?ilm wa al-?amal al-nafi? fi ?ina?at al-?iyal (The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices) in 1206, where he described 100 mechanical devices, some 80 of which are trick vessels of various kinds, along with instructions on how to construct them. Some of his devices were inspired by earlier devices, such as one of his monumental water clocks, which was based on that of a Pseudo-Archimedes. He also cites the influence of the Banu Musa brothers (and also Leonardo Da Vinci) for his fountains, al-Asturlabi for the design of a candle clock, and Hibat Allah ibn al-Husayn (d. 1139) for musical automata. Al-Jazari goes on to describe the improvements he made to the work of his predecessors, and describes a number of devices, techniques and components that are original innovations which do not appear in the works by his precessors.
Second edition, corrected, and very much enlarged, 4to (245 x 185 mm), [2], viii, [2], 284p., 43 copper-engraved plates, cont. calf, rebacked, corners rubbed. "William Emerson (1701-1782), an English amateur scientist who spent most of his life in seclusion at Hurworth in Durhamshire, Emerson was mainly interested in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and medicine. He is known for his so-called "Emerson Paradox"... the Mechanics was very popular and went through several editions. It deals with the general laws of motion, descent of bodies, centers of gravity, mechanical powers, comparative strength of timber and its failure, forces of engines and their motion, as well as friction, hydrostatics, and pneumatics. The volume also poses the Emerson Paradox..."?Roberts & Trent. Robert & Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica, pp. 101-02.
