James Smithson Named Illegitimate Son of Duke of Northumberland

The May 12 1838 note to the Secretary of State states that James Smithson was the Duke of Northumberland's natural son born to Mrs. Macie of Wiltshire. He studied at Oxford earning an honorary degree in 1786, used the name James Lewis Macie before adopting Smithson, lived without a fixed home, and died in Genoa. The Duke’s generous provision supported him as he traveled Europe, and the fortune later passed to the United States. The writer asks readers for insights into why he left his wealth to the United States rather than Britain.

Remarkable Automaton Clock by Casson of Ateguillon France

A 25 year old French farmer named Casson in Ateguillon builds a nine clock with multiple dials showing hours minutes days weeks months and celestial events. The device features a glass front and a guided display where Time and a Savior chase the Grim Reaper between cells, with a three daily Angelus and a Virgin scene.
