In 1969, Footes moved to 17 Golden Square and became established as the Premier drum showroom. Following the sudden passing of Frank King, the drum tuition seat was taken over by John Tayler who remained in situ until his retirement in 2012. 1991 saw another move to 10 Golden Square, just a few doors along from the original Premier office.

Born into a well-to-do family, [1] Foote was baptized in Truro, Cornwall on 27 January 1720. [2] His father, Samuel Foote, held several public positions, including mayor of Truro, Member of Parliament representing Tiverton and a commissioner in the Prize Office. [3] His mother, née Eleanor Goodere, was the daughter of Sir Edward Goodere Baronet of Hereford. [4] Foote may have inherited his wit and sharp humour from her and her family which was described as "eccentric. ..whose peculiarities ranged from the harmless to the malevolent." [5] About the time Foote came of age, he inherited his first fortune when one of his uncles, Sir John Dineley Goodere, 2nd Baronet was murdered by another uncle, Captain Samuel Goodere. [2] This murder was the subject of his first pamphlet, which he published around 1741. [6]Yocum, Barbara A. Pearson (1998).

Among other students of the Troy Female Seminary was future women's right activist Elizabeth Cady, (later Stanton), who attended in 1830. [12] Cady's sister Margaret attended the school between 1834 and 1836, and another sister Catharine attended between 1835 and 1837. [13] The fifty-year memorial publication Emma Willard and her Pupils or Fifty Years of Troy Female Seminary 1822–1872 (1898) does not mention Newton, but the introduction explains that a committee divided some 7,000 students into geographic regions and committee members attempted to research the students. Inquiries were made of living pupils, family members, friends, and officials who might have information on known students. Biographies included in the work were culled from personal correspondence received from the queries of committee members. [14] The introduction also notes that records of graduates prior to 1843 were sporadically kept, as diplomas were not granted until that year. [15] At the time of the publication in 1898, Foote had been dead for a decade. [16] [17] Lorenz, Ralph D. (2019).

Foote's paper was abbreviated and published in the American Journal of Science and Arts and the Philosophical Magazine. The Philosophical Magazine had rejected publication of her first paper in favor of reprinting Elisha's 1856 work. [82] The article about Foote's findings published in The New-York Daily Times on August 18, 1857, [88] [Notes 6] praised her work, claiming that her findings had been "never heretofore proven", [88] although in fact, they confirmed the ideal gas law, published in 1834. She proved that adiabatic heating or cooling, or changes in temperature that occur without the addition or removal of heat, is the result of changing pressure. Temperature changes alter the vapor pressure in the air, which in turn, impacts the generation of static electricity. [89] Inventions [ edit ] Foote's paper-making machine, 1864 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.

Humans were already increasing carbon dioxide in the 1800s

Retrieved December 28, 2021. The year was 1856. Foote's brief scientific paper was the first to describe the extraordinary power of carbon dioxide gas to absorb heat—the driving force of global warming. After marrying attorney Elisha Foote in 1841, Foote settled in Seneca Falls, New York. She was a signatory to the Declaration of Sentiments and one of the editors of the proceedings of the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, the first gathering to treat women's rights as its sole focus. In 1856 she published a paper notable for demonstrating the absorption of heat by CO 2 and water vapor and hypothesizing that changing amounts of CO 2 in the atmosphere would alter the climate. It was the first known publication in a scientific journal by an American woman in the field of physics. She published a second paper in 1857, on static electricity in atmospheric gases. Although she was not a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), both her papers were read at the organization's annual conferences—these were the only papers in the field of physics to be written by an American woman until 1889. She went on to patent several inventions.

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. [103]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. Phelps was a pioneer of women in science and a botany expert, who was the fourth woman to become a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). [21] [25]
