# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Slide (brass instruments)

​SLIDE (Fr. Coulisse; Ger. Zugstange, Stimstück; It. a tirarsi). A contrivance applied at a very early date to instruments of the trumpet and trombone family, for lengthening and shortening the sounding tube, and thus filling the gaps between the fundamental note and its successive harmonics. Two slide-trombones, essentially identical with the modern pattern, are to be seen, one in the Museo Borbonico at Naples, the other in the Queen's collection at Windsor. Both were found at Pompeii. [Trombone.] In the trombone the mouthpiece, upper joints, and bell of the instrument are held to the mouth of the player by means of the left, while the slide is held and adjusted by means of the right hand and arm. In the G bass trombone, the length of a man's arm not being sufficient to reach the lower slide positions, a jointed handle is fixed to the cross-bar of the slide by way of prolongation. In the trumpet, the extent of travel of the slide being far less, and that instrument being held in the right hand, the slide is placed between the bell and the upper part of the tube, and drawn to its closed position by a spiral spring, or an elastic ligature of caoutchouc. It is drawn out to the required length by the fore and middle fingers, acting in opposition to the thumb.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Noah (II)

​NOAH. An early Jaredite leader, the son of Corihor and the father of Cohor. Noah rebelled against king Shule, and against his own father, drawing from their allegiance all his brothers and many of the people. When sufficiently strong, he attacked and defeated Shule, and took possession and reigned over the land of the Jaredites' first ​inheritance, probably Moron, (near the land known to the Nephites as Desolation). A second time he attacked Shule, defeated and captured him, and carried him to Moron. It was Noah's intention to put Shule to death, but before he could do so some of the sons of Shule crept into the house of Noah by night and slew him. They then broke down the door of the prison in which their father was confined, liberated him and restored him to his throne, while Cohor reigned over that portion of the land originally conquered by his father, Noah. (Ether, 7:20.)
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Noah (III)

​NOAH. The Bible Patriarch. His name is mentioned four times in the Book of Mormon—once in the promise (Alma, 10:22) that the people should not again be destroyed by a flood; twice in a quotation, by the Savior, of Isaiah, 54:9; and once in the statement that the Jaredite barges "were tight like unto the ark of Noah.” (Ether, 6:7.)
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ogath

​OGATH. A place in North America not far from the hill Ramah (Cumorah), and consequently in the modern State of New York (Ether, 15:10). Here Shiz, for four years, gathered those of the Jaredites, men, women, and children, who sympathized with his cause, preparatory to the final contest which ended in the utter destruction of the Jaredite race.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Noah, Land of

​NOAH, LAND OF. A region in the land of Zarahemla, contiguous to Ammonihah, between the river Sidon and the Pacific Ocean. We are of the opinion that it was situated in the wilderness that ​bordered on that great sea. It was unsuccessfully invaded by the Lamanites in B. C. 81 and B.C. 73; but doubtless fell into their hands in the days of Moronihah (about B. C. 34), when the whole of South America fell into the hands of Laman's savage soldiery.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nob

​NOB. A sacerdotal city in the tribe of Benjamin, situated not far from Jerusalem. It is only mentioned in the Book of Mormon in Nephi's transcription of the writings of Isaiah (II Nephi, 20:32).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nuem

​NUEM. A Hebrew prophet, quoted by Nephi (I Nephi, 19: 10). He prophesied that the Son of God should be crucified.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Noah, City of

​NOAH, CITY OF. One of the western cities of the Nephites, not far from Ammonihah. After destroying the latter city (B. C. 81), the Lamanites came around by the borders of Noah, slew a number and took many prisoners. These captives were afterwards liberated by the Nephite general, Zoram, and restored to their homes. This city was strongly fortified by Moroni, so that when the armies of Amalickiah attempted to carry it by assault (B. C. 73), being unable to force the gates, they endeavored to dig down the wall built by Moroni; but in this vain attempt they left more than a thousand dead and wounded in the ditch surrounding it, while the Nephites, had not one soldier slain, and only about fifty were wounded. (Alma, 49.)
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nimrod, Valley of

​NIMROD, VALLEY OF. A valley in Mesopotamia, or in the adjacent regions, called after the mighty hunter who founded the Babylonian empire. There the Jaredites assembled and organized for their journey. In this valley, also, the Lord talked with the brother of Jared, and commanded that the company should go forth into that region where man had never yet been; but the ​brother of Jared did not at that time see the Lord, for He was hidden from him in a cloud. (Ether, 2.)
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nimrod

​NIMROD. An early Jaredite prince, the son of Cohor. In his days the kingdom was a divided one, Shule reigning over one portion and Cohor over the other. Cohor, desiring to obtain undivided dominion, gave battle to Shule, was defeated and slain. Nimrod, recognizing the superior rights of Shule surrendered the region his father had ruled over to that monarch. For this act and for his faithful allegiance, Nimrod found favor in the eyes of Shule, and he had authority given him to do "according to his desires" in the latter's kingdom. (Ether, 7: 22.)

# A History of Mathematics/Middle Ages

MIDDLE AGES.
THE HINDOOS.
The first people who distinguished themselves in mathematical research, after the time of the ancient Greeks, belonged, like them, to the Aryan race. It was, however, not a European, but an Asiatic nation, and had its seat in far-off India.
Unlike the Greek, Indian society was fixed into castes. The only castes enjoying the privilege and leisure for advanced study and thinking were the Brahmins, whose prime business was religion and philosophy, and the Kshatriyas, who attended to war and government.
Of the development of Hindoo mathematics we know but little. A few manuscripts bear testimony that the Indians had climbed to a lofty height, but their path of ascent is no longer traceable. It would seem that Greek mathematics grew up under more favourable conditions than the Hindoo, for in Greece it attained an independent existence, and was studied for its own sake, while Hindoo mathematics always remained merely a servant to astronomy. Furthermore, in Greece mathematics was a science of the people, free to be cultivated by all who had a liking for it; in India, as in Egypt, it was in the hands chiefly of the priests. Again, the Indians were in the habit of putting into verse all mathematical results they obtained, and of clothing them in obscure and mystic language,

# A History of Mathematics/Modern Europe

MODERN EUROPE.
We find it convenient to choose the time of the capture of Constantinople by the Turks as the date at which the Middle Ages ended and Modern Times began. In 1453, the Turks battered the walls of this celebrated metropolis with cannon, and finally captured the city; the Byzantine Empire fell, to rise no more. Calamitous as was this event to the East, it acted favourably upon the progress of learning in the West. A great number of learned Greeks fled into Italy, bringing with them precious manuscripts of Greek literature. This contributed vastly to the reviving of classic learning. Up to this time, Greek masters were known only through the often very corrupt Arabic manuscripts, but now they began to be studied from original sources and in their own language. The first English translation of Euclid was made in 1570 from the Greek by Sir Henry Billingsley, assisted by John Dee. About the middle of the fifteenth century, printing was invented; books became cheap and plentiful; the printing-press transformed Europe into an audience-room. Near the close of the fifteenth century, America was discovered, and, soon after, the earth was circumnavigated. The pulse and pace of the world began to quicken. Men's minds became less servile; they became clearer and stronger. The indistinctness of thought, which was the characteristic feature of mediæval learning, began to be remedied chiefly by the steady ​cultivation of Pure Mathematics and Astronomy. Dogmatism was attacked; there arose a long struggle with the authority of the Church and the established schools of philosophy. The Copernican System was set up in opposition to the time-honoured Ptolemaic System. The long and eager contest between the two culminated in a crisis at the time of Galileo, and resulted in the victory of the new system. Thus, by slow degrees, the minds of men were cut adrift from their old scholastic moorings and sent forth on the wide sea of scientific inquiry, to discover new islands and continents of truth.
