Cloudesley A Tale 1830 is the fifth novel published by eighteenth century philosopher and novelist William Godwin . Publication details Cloudesley was published thirteen years after Mandeville novel Mandeville , Godwin s fourth novel, and two years after the completion of his four volume History of the Commonwealth of England . He was 74 when Cloudesley was issued. ref name Allen Allen, Cloudesley A Tale . ref Plot and themes According to the literary scholar Graham Allen, Cloudesley is a story of deceit and usurpation, fraud and prolonged guilt but, far more importantly, it is the story of how a man raises himself from crime to transcend not only his own past but the apparently inexorable laws of blood relations and class divisions. ref name Allen He argues that Cloudesley is the greatest example of a theme frequently returned to in Godwin s work, a theme obviously close to his heart the ability of human beings to transcend the apparent logic of consanguinity and to form parental and filial relations with those to whom they are not related by blood. ref name Allen Notes reflist Bibliography Allen, Graham.

The Board of Longitude was the popular name for the Commissioners for the Discovery of the Longitude at Sea . It was a British Government body formed in 1714 to administer a scheme of prizes intended to encourage innovators to solve the problem of finding longitude at sea. Origins Navigators and scientists had been working on the problem of not knowing a ship s longitude. The establishment of the Board of Longitude was motivated by this problem and by the 1707 Scilly naval disaster 1707 grounding of four ships of Vice Admiral Cloudesley Shovell Sir Cloudesley Shovell s fleet off the Isles of Scilly , resulting in heavy loss of life. Established by the Longitude Act in 1714, the Board gathered the greatest scientific minds of the day to work on the problem, including Sir Isaac Newton , and put up prizes for those who could demonstrate a working device or method. The main longitude prize s were 10,000 for a method that could determine longitude within 60 nautical miles 111 km 15,000 for a method that could determine longitude within 40 nautical miles 74 km 20,000 for a method that could determine longitude within 30 nautical miles 56 km . In addition, the Board had the discretion to make awards to persons who were making significant contributions to the effort or to provide financial support to those who were working towards a solution. The Board could also make advances of up to 2,000 for experimental work deemed promising. ref name egrtaylor Taylor, E.G.R., The Haven finding Art A History of Navigation from Odysseus to Captain Cook , Hollis & Carter, London 1971, ISBN 0 370 01347 6 ref Under this heading, the Board made many lesser awards, including some awards in total 5000 made to John Harrison before he received his main prize, an award of 3000 to the widow of Tobias Mayer , whose lunar tables were the basis of the lunar data in the early decades of the Nautical Almanac , 300 to Leonhard Euler for his assumed contribution to the work of Mayer, 5 ... more details
