This “remarkable variety of granite” was briefly described by Mr. J. J. Harris Teall, F.E.S., in his “British Petrography” (1888), p. 316, and an interesting account was given in a footnote of the process by which the author was able to identify the topaz found in the rock.

In the last September number of the “Archives de Neurologie,” M. Jules Voisin, of the Hôpital Bicêtre, has published an interesting account of “A case of hysteria major in a man with Double Personality.” The patient had before that attracted some notice in France for the same symptoms, and M. Camuset (of the Bonneval Asylum) has published a description of his very unusual state in 1880 and 1881 (Annales Médico-Psych., 1882, p. 75). Some important additions to our knowledge have been made by MM. Bourru and Burot (of Rochefort), of which the chief have been published in the “Revue Philosophique,” Oct., 1885, and “Arch, de Neurol.” Nov., 1885, and we may expect to see more in the “Annales Médico-Psychologiques.” They have very kindly allowed us to use some recent observations which they have privately sent us, and it has seemed a good opportunity for a brief retrospect of the whole case.

The interview with Jack Pringle (7/2, pp104–106) provides both an interesting account of how we got here and some useful pointers towards a more integrated future which, hopefully, the RIBA can be at the heart of. The background to this situation is, of course, more fully documented in previous issues of arq including my own paper (6/4, pp297–299).

The Way

This chapter considers the status of geometrical and kinematic representations in the foundations of 18th century analysis and in Kant’s understanding of those foundations. It has two aims. First, relying on relatively recent reassessments of the history of analysis, it will attempt to bring forward a more accurate account of intuitive representation in 18th century analysis and the relation between British and Continental mathematics. Second, it will give a better account of Kant’s place in that history. The result shows that although Kant did no better at navigating the labyrinth of the continuum than his contemporaries, he had a more interesting and reasonable account of the foundations of analysis than an easy reading of either Kant or that history provides. It also permits a more accurate and interesting account of how and when a conception of foundations of analysis without intuitive representations emerged, and how that paved the way for Bolzano and Cauchy.

Linguistic Framework

Foundations of Language (Jackendoff 2002) sets out to reconcile generative accounts of language structure with psychological accounts of language processing. We argue that Jackendoff's “parallel architecture” is a particularly appropriate linguistic framework for the interactive alignment account of dialogue processing. It offers a helpful definition of linguistic levels of representation, it gives an interesting account of routine expressions, and it supports radical incrementality in processing.

[This interesting account of the treatment of the insane in Malta was written by F. V. Inglott, C M G., the Comptroller of Charitable Institutions in the Island, and sent by him to the late Sir James Clark, Bart. It has been furnished to the Journal by Dr. Arthur Mitchell, Commissioner in Lunacy for Scotland. It bears date 3rd November, 1867. A few verbal changes have been made in passing it through the press, and some unimportant passages have been omitted.—Ed.]

Interesting Account

On 15 June this year an international conference opened in Belgrade with the aim of reviewing the progress made since September 1975 by the 35 signatories of the Helsinki Declaration on Détente and Cooperation in Europe, an important part of which is the so-called Basket Three dealing with human and civil rights. The Yugoslav authorities, who are playing hosts to the conference, continue to deny accusations of human rights infringements, such as the treatment - and indeed the very existence - of political prisoners in their country. Evidence of these infringements in Yugoslavia is provided in the three articles that follow. The first is an ‘Open Letter’ sent to the Yugoslav authorities before the Belgrade conference by Akim Djilas, a younger brother of the best-known Yugoslav dissident, Milovan Djilas. The section also includes an account of political trials and persecution in Slovenia, and finally some excerpts from a book by the Croatian poet Mirko Vidovic who spent five years in Yugoslav prisons before being released thanks to diplomatic representations by the French government. In his book, The Hidden Face of the Moon, Vidovic describes his treatment at the hands of the Yugoslav secret police and gives an interesting account of the hunger strike organised by himself and Mihailo Mihajlov.

Interesting Account

A recently discovered ‘Navigational Notebook’ contains an interesting account of day-to-day navigation during the early part of the eighteenth century. The document was brought to light by Mr. J. R. Timms, a student at the School of Navigation of Southampton University, whose father discovered it in a bank at Ventnor, Isle of Wight, its depositor long deceased and no longer known or traceable. The date of the manuscript is uncertain but references to John Robertson's Elements of Navigation and Archibald Patoun's Epitome seem to place it after 1730. However the account of actual navigation is given in the journal of a voyage, in 1704, from the Lizard to Madeira, which is reproduced in the Notebook. It seems likely that the author, John Wilson, eventually came ashore as an instructor in navigation (and probably mathematics) and copied out the journal from one of his earlier voyages for the benefit of his pupils. Whether this is a later work by the John Wilson referred to in E. G. R. Taylor's The Mathematical Practitioners of Tudor and Stuart England is not clear.
