Book Details
Edition Notes
Published anonymously. By F.-X. de Feller. Originally published in his Journal historique & littéraire de Luxembourg for June 15, 1775, Feller's observations questioned the calming effect oil was supposed to exert on rough seas. The essay appeared in response to the offer of a prize for studies on the subject made by Frans van Lelyveld. Lelyveld's publication in 1776 of his Essai sur les moyens de diminuer les dangers de la mer par l'effusion de l'huile, du goudron ou de toute autre matière flottante led Feller to reprint his observations together with a refutation of points in Lelyveld's essay. He includes also a full reprinting of all pertinent contributions on the subject to his Journal historique from June 1775 to Jan. 1777. Cf. p. 3-5.
