Given, Arthur

The thought of Arthur had never troubled me much, and not at all now that I, too, had given Edward a son. Arthur s mother seemed content to live retired, and he was a pretty child who caused no trouble when he did lodge in the nursery with my children. But I would not have Edward think of him, even were it only to take his thoughts from his murdered brother, this night of all nights.

Readers familiar with the Arthurian legends, may wonder why none of the practices given in this book, enact the famous scene of Arthur drawing the sword from out of the stone. The reason for this is that, as soon as you commence to perform the practices you have, in effect, drawn the sword of spiritual will from out of the stone of material inertia. Furthermore, each time you sit with the intention of performing the Work, the royal sword is freed from the stone and you again prove your unalienable right to rule your inner kingdom. 

Many recent publications have focused on the chemical revolution of Lavoisier, providing a much broader context within which this work clearly fits. Perhaps the most important contemporary writer is Frederic Lawrence Holmes, who has published two books on Lavoisier, both based on detailed examination of Lavoisier s laboratory notebooks. These have provided the modern reader with a reliable analysis of Lavoisier s chemical thinking. Accounts of Lavoisier s broader activities have also been given by Arthur Donovan and Jean-Pierre Poirier. ... 

Ashm. 195, fo. 195 208, fo. 54 where the dare is given as 25 Nov. This might have been Timothy Willis, an alchemist who was himself called before rhe Censors in August 1596 Annals, 6 Aug. 1596, p. 102. See J. H. Appleby, Arthur Dee and Johannes Banfi Hunyades, 24 (1977), 96-109, esp. 99. 

ARTHUR Infometrix, 2200 Sixth Ave. 833, Seattle, Wash. 98121, USA cca 7000. This package of Fortran programs has been developed at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Washington, Seattle. For many years it was the most widely used program for PCA and other pattern recognition applications in chemistry. ARTHUR has been written for mainframe computers, but also PC-versions are used (e.g. TNO CIVO Institute, P.O.Box 360, NL-3700 AJ Zeist, The Netherlands). An overview of ARTHUR is given in Wolff and Parsons (ref. 14). 

Cellulose powders can be created by cutting fibers into small particles, perhaps with a Wiley mill (Arthur H. Thomas Company, Swedesboro, New Jersey). On a laboratory x-ray system, powder diffraction patterns take 30 min. The positions of the peaks indicate the polymorphic form (I-IV) the powder diffraction pattern is often used as a fingerprint for comparison with the known pattern for a given crystalline form [207]. The breadth of the peaks is related to the extent of crystallinity (Figure 5.17, bottom). Using the Scherrer formula [245,246] and assuming no other distortions, the crystallite size can be calculated. Values for cotton perpendicular to the molecular axis are around 40 A. That corresponds to a 6x6 array of... 

As several researchers have shown empirically, the use of —log(reflectance) can provide, analogous to a transmittance measurement, a linear relationship between the transformed reflectance and concentration, if the matrix is not strongly absorbing as can be found for many samples studied by near-infrared spectroscopy. This issue is presented in detail below. A different approach based on a physical model was considered for UV/VIS measurements and later also applied within the mid-infrared. A theory was derived by Kubelka and Munk for a simple, onedimensional, two-flux model, although it must be noted that Arthur Schuster (1905) had already come up with a reflectance function for isotropic scattering. A detailed description of theoretical and practical aspects was given by Korttim. The optical absorption... 

The matching of outcrop samples with debitage and other artifactual material is an ideal problem for computer-assisted pattern recognition techniques (8). The use of ARTHUR for the analysis of the soapstone from Labrador will be discussed in a future publication, but the important parameters for comparing soapstone are given in Table II. For this table, the samples from a given quarry were taken as one or two groups. The... 

Source radiation can also be generated by a particle accelerator, such as a synchrotron facility. There are many advantages to such an experiment, including the possibility for a small beam size with high signal/noise ratio that does not suffer from the limitations described above. Some recent reviews are given by Arthur (1996) and Rufifer and Chumakov (1996).
