About this deal

While riding with Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany in 1766, he was thrown from his horse and the injury cost him his leg. Even in this state, he continued to act and as possible compensation for his injury was granted a license to legally operate the Haymarket Theatre. He produced a summer season of "legitimate plays" in 1767, engaging Spranger Barry and his wife to perform. [1] He bought the theatre outright and remodelled the interior the same year [26] and continued to operate the theatre until he was forced to give up his patent to George Colman the Elder the following year. Near London, Foote lived and wrote in his much loved villa, 'The Hermitage', in North End village in the Parish of Fulham. [27] He died on 21 October 1777 in Dover, while en route to France.

Foote noted that CO 2 reached a temperature of 125°F (52°C) and that the amount of moisture in the air contributed to temperature variances. [61] [63] In connection with the history of the Earth, Foote theorized that "An atmosphere of that gas would give to our earth a high temperature; and if, as some suppose, at one period of its history, the air had mixed with it a larger proportion than at present, an increased temperature from its own action, as well as from increased weight, must have necessarily resulted." [61] [65] [66] Her theory was a clear statement of climatic warming caused by increased levels of CO 2 in the atmosphere. [65] During the Second World War, both Charles and Ronald left to fight for their country and the shop was left in the safe hands of Fred Della Porta, then Sales Director of Premier Drums. Following the bombing of the Hornsey Road premises, the shop was moved in 1946 to 40 Rupert Street, Soho in Central London, close to Premier’s office and showroom at 8 Golden Square. So began a long association between Foote’s and Premier Drums. Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with Wikisource reference Foote, Samuel.

In 1902, Susan B. Anthony made a speech calling on younger feminists to take up the reins from founders of the movement like "Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Eunice Newton Foote, Mary Livermore, and Isabella Beecher Hooker." [102] Institutionalized neglect of women's history and distortion of the historical record by historians who did not analyze or include women's experiences led to little being known about early feminists. Before 1960 only thirteen texts published in the United States dealt with women's history. Of those, five focused on colonial women, and three focused on Antebellum Southern women.

That notation would say that she was also a science-loving woman; her surname is no coincidence, as her father was apparently a distant relative of Sir Isaac Newton, and in fact bore the same first name as him. Among Eunice’s influences was Amos Eaton, who is credited with introducing higher education in science in the USA. Trained in science but without a university degree—which at the time was an avenue generally closed to women—Eunice spent part of her time experimenting, publishing the first two physics studies by a woman in the US, and dreaming up inventions such as a filling for the soles of shoes and boots to prevent squeaking when walking.

She put a thermometer in each of two glass cylinders, pumped carbon dioxide gas into one and air into the other and set the cylinders in the Sun. The cylinder containing carbon dioxide got much hotter than the one with air, and Foote realized that carbon dioxide would strongly absorb heat in the atmosphere.

Many other dealerships followed as drums from the USA became more available in the 1960’s. The marriage produced two daughters, Mary, born July 21, 1842, who became an artist, writer and women's rights advocate; [33] [40] and Augusta, born October 24, 1844, who became a writer. [41] Both daughters were born in Seneca Falls. [31] Elisha became a judge who worked at the Court of Common Pleas in Seneca County, but he resigned from his post in 1846. [42] [43] He continued working as a lawyer and Eunice designed and built a laboratory in their home. [22] [32] [44] By the spring of 1860, the family had relocated to Saratoga Springs, New York, where Augusta was privately schooled. [41] [45] Elisha ran a private practice and was a specialist in patent law. [46] Foote, Eunice (August 1857). "On a New Source of Electrical Excitation".

Foote's paper, "On a New Source of Electrical Excitation", was again read by Henry at the annual AAAS conference held in Montreal, on the third day of proceedings, August 14, 1857. [82] [85] In November 1857, her findings were published in the Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The publication of this paper was the first time an American woman's work in physics had been included in the journal. [71] [86] During the nineteenth century, only sixteen physics papers were published by American women. The only two published before 1889 were Foote's 1856 and 1857 papers. [87]

In 1965, scientists warned U.S. President Lyndon Johnson about the growing climate risk, concluding: "Man is unwittingly conducting a vast geophysical experiment. Within a few generations he is burning the fossil fuels that slowly accumulated in the earth over the past 500 million years." The scientists issued clear warnings of high temperatures, melting ice caps, rising sea levels and acidification of ocean waters.
