The mill reek and the Devonshire colic.
According to the Statistical Account of Scotland (Maconochie, 1792) the village of Leadhills in Lanarkshire contains the most famous and ancient lead mines in Scotland. They were included in a grant of lands to the monks of Newbattle Abbey in 1239 and, from a lawsuit soon afterwards, it is clear that the mines were in production about that date. Depending on demand and the price of lead they ha...
متن کاملJames Hardy and the Devonshire Colic.
JAMES HARDY figures little in most reports of the Devonshire Colic. Instead, authors have concentrated mainly on the role of Sir George Baker in the discovery of the cause of the disease. 6, 18, 19, 28. 29 The work of Baker is undoubtedly of the first importance when considering the history of the Devonshire Colic and his essays published in 1767 and 1768, 3, 4 discussing the results of his exp...

We reanalyse the cell theory of Lennard-Jones and Devonshire and find that in addition to the critical point originally reported for the 12−6 potential (and widely quoted in standard textbooks), the model exhibits a further critical point. We show that the latter is actually a more appropriate candidate for liquid-gas criticality than the original critical point. Typeset using REVTEX

In the eighteenth century the cider making counties of England were the shires of Devon, Hereford and Gloucester. Cider was being made in Devonshire in the thirteenth century. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, when Defoe visited the county he remarked on t...
متن کاملFluctuations and Landau-Devonshire expansion for Barium Titanate
The experimentally observed temperature dependence of the quartic coefficients in the Landau-Devonshire expansion for BaTiO3 is naturally accounted for within a proper fluctuation model. It is explained, in particular, why one of the quartic coefficients varies with temperature above Tc while the second is constant. The tetragonal phase in BaTiO3 is argued to exist essentially due to the therma...
