Numbers' review of the article singled out the fact that of the 2,200 members of the AAAS before 1860 only four were women and Eunice, who was a nonmember, was the only woman who had presented a paper.

Newton Even more curious is that Eunice’s conclusion was born out of a flawed experiment; in recent years, various scientists have pointed out that the researcher’s system could not separate the action of visible and infrared light, and that in fact the glass prevented the long ultraviolet radiation that is responsible for global warming from entering the cylinders. The mechanisms that might explain her results have been discussed, and how they were possibly a chance finding that was misinterpreted but from which she drew a visionary interpretation; what is undeniable today is that Eunice Foote was the first scientist to establish the connection between the level of CO 2 and the warming of the atmosphere. 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]

(subscription required) Foote described her findings in a paper, "Circumstances Affecting the Heat of the Sun's Rays", that she submitted for the tenth annual AAAS meeting, held on August 23, 1856, in Albany, New York. [6] [29] [67] For reasons that are unclear, [4] [68] Foote did not read her paper to those present—even the few women who became members seldom presented their work at the conference [6] [7] [Notes 5]—and her paper was instead presented by Joseph Henry of the Smithsonian Institution. [4] [68] Henry introduced Foote's paper by stating "Science was of no country and of no sex. The sphere of woman embraces not only the beautiful and the useful, but the true". [29] Yet, he discounted her findings in the New-York Daily Tribune article about the presentation, saying "although the experiments were interesting and valuable, there were [many] [difficulties] encompassing [any] attempt to interpret their significance". [6] [69] One play, The Cozeners, is clearly based on the politician Charles James Fox who was a spendthrift and gambler. He had been duped by Elizabeth Harriett Grieve who had promised that she could arrange for him to marry a West Indian heiress. Grieve was tried and transported in 1773 and in the following year The Cozeners [29] opened with Mrs Gardner in the part of Mrs Fleece'em. [30] Foote's satires are based on caricatures of characters and situations from his era. His facility and wit in writing these earned him the title "the English Aristophanes." While, often, his subjects found his literary jabs just as humorous as his audiences, they often both feared and admired him. [1] Legal troubles [ edit ] Reed, Elizabeth Wagner (1992).

In her brief study, entitled Circumstances affecting the Heat of the Sun’s Rays , the amateur scientist described an experiment in which she exposed glass cylinders equipped with thermometers to the Sun and attached to a pump to draw air from one and compress it in the other. Eunice compared the heating and cooling in the two cylinders. She observed, first, that the cylinder with the compressed air heated up more than the other in which the vacuum had been drawn. Second, that the heating was greater with moist air than with dry air. Thirdly, and this was her great and almost fortuitous discovery—since she also experimented with hydrogen and oxygen—that the greatest degree of heating occurred when one of the cylinders was filled with carbonic acid gas: CO 2 . “The receiver containing the gas became itself much heated—very sensibly more so than the other—and on being removed, it was many times as long in cooling,” she wrote The first relationship between CO 2 and the greenhouse effect

In 1865, Elisha was appointed to serve an apprenticeship on the Board of Examiners-in-Chief for the United States Patent and Trademark Office. [46] The entire family relocated at that time to Washington, D.C. [40] While they were in Washington, both daughters married. Mary wed John B. Henderson, a US Senator from Missouri, a co-author of the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery and an advocate for the 15th Amendment to grant voting rights to former slaves. [47] They had a lavish ceremony in 1868, attended by many dignitaries, including US President Andrew Johnson. [48] The following year, Augusta married Francis Benjamin Arnold, a coffee importer from New York City. [49] [50]

But Foote was prohibited from reading her findings to the other members of the 1856 American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Albany, New York.

Two rival actresses captured the attention of London audiences and Foote's satire. Peg Woffington and George Anne Bellamy apparently took their roles rather seriously in a production of Nathaniel Lee's The Rival Queens. When Bellamy's Parisian fashions began to upstage Woffington, Bellamy was driven offstage by a dagger-wielding Woffington thus providing a source for Foote's The Green-Room Squabble or a Battle Royal between the Queen of Babylon and the Daughter of Darius. The text of this farce is now lost. [18] Sid Grant joined the company at this time as the manager and remained until retiring in 1982, when his position was taken over by Eddie Chase. In 1961, Ronald Foote left the company and in the same year, in store drum tuition was introduced with Frank King. Foote". New-York Tribune. New York, New York. October 3, 1888. p.7 .
