Etat : Sehr gut. 5 octavo - pages on 2 sheets, folded. Excellent condition. Signed by Hay and dated probably "Monday, 19 Oct. [1829]". References: I. See "The Quarterly Review - Volume XLI (July & November 1829), page 465 and following pages, in which a report is discussed of a deposition by the British Vice-Consul 'Wood', that in the month of June 1829 the arrival of the lost papers of the murdered Major Alexander Gordon Laing were imminent at Tripoli. It was then reported that the French consul général, Baron Jean-Baptiste de Rousseau was given these valuable papers of Major Alexander Gordon Laing and these then were demanded to be returned to the British in a personal visit to the French consulate at Tripoli by British consul, Hanmer Warrington, who was also the father-in-law of murdered explorer Aexander Laing. According to the report in te Quarterly Review, Baron de Rousseau was appaled to be ccused to have thes epapers or to hold them back and demanded evidence. The consequence of this was a full blown French-British diplomatic conflict and on page 471 of "The Quarterly Review" it is mentioned, that "We understand that our ambassador in Paris was instructed to demand from the French Government an investigation of the conduct imputed to Baron Rousseau; and that a commission was appointed to inquire, accordingly, into the transaction". The here offered letter by Robert William Hay to Baron de Rothesay, is the letter which reflects this report and the action of the British Crown to protest at Paris. Source II: Essay for "The National Archives", on April 5th, 2018, by Dr. Juliette Desplat: "From Tripoli to Timbuktu": In this essay, Dr.Desplat explains: "One hundred and ninety years ago, in April 1828, French explorer René Caillé became the first European to reach Timbuktu, in present-day Mali, and return alive. He was awarded 10,000 francs by the Société de Géographie, the French geographical society, and the book he published was funded by the French government. Caillé, however, had been preceded in Timbuktu Englishman [sic][correct: Scotsman], Major Alexander Gordon Laing. In January 1825, Laing was instructed by Lord Bathurst, the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, to 'proceed from Tripoli to Timbuctoo' to gather information on the Niger basin and determine the exact location of this city. Timbuktu's legend was based on the accounts of Arab travellers who had visited the city before the 16th century. Its name alone conjured up wondrous images of wealth and mystery. The roofs, they said, were made of gold These stories prompted a race to Timbuktu between two old rivals: Britain and France. In the words of the British consul at Tripoli, Hanmer Warrington, 'the French were making efforts to pluck from England's brow those laurels to which the latter was so justly entitled' so time was of the essence. Laing left Britain in February 1825, and reached Tripoli on 9 May. Warrington was quite taken with him, although he feared that 'the delicate state of his health' would prevent him from completing the mission. Laing seemed to get better in Tripoli, however, and started planning. It was agreed that the expedition would go through Ghadames, in what is now North-western Libya. The road from Tripoli to Ghadames was virtually unexplored and travelling along it would provide Laing with an opportunity to fill in a blank space on the map. On 14 July 1825, rather unexpectedly and after a whirlwind romance, Laing married Emma, Warrington's second daughter. The consul wasn't pleased. Sure enough, he found Laing 'clever and gentlemanly', and thought 'his talents were conspicuous' but, given the circumstances, he tried to block the wedding.[.] A few days after his wedding, Laing set out for Timbuktu under the guidance of Sheikh Babany, a merchant who had lived in Timbuktu and promised he could take Laing there in two and a half months. Having travelled across the Sahara, he reached Ghadames on 13 September, after what he described as 'a very ted.…

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Great interest is now being shown in computational and mathematical neuroscience, fuelled in part by the rise in computing power, the ability to record large amounts of neurophysiological data, and advances in stochastic analysis. These techniques are leading to biophysically more realistic models. It has also become clear that both neuroscientists and mathematicians profit from collaborations in this exciting research area.Graduates andresearchers in computational neuroscience and stochastic systems, and neuroscientists seeking to learn more about recent advances in the modelling and analysis of noisy neural systems, will benefit fromthis comprehensive overview. The series of self-contained chapters, each written by experts in their field, covers key topics such as: Markov chain models for ion channel release; stochastically forced single neurons and populations of neurons; statistical methods for parameter estimation; and the numerical approximation of these stochastic models.Each chapter gives an overview of a particular topic, including its history, important results in the area, and futurechallenges, and the text comes complete with a jargon-busting index of acronyms to allow readers to familiarize themselves with the language used. A text for graduates and researchers in computational neuroscience and stochastic systems, concentrating on the intersection between stochastic dynamics and neuroscience, through the presentation of a series of self-contained chapters on major aspects of noise and neuroscience, each written by an expert in their particular field.
