El Idioma Analitico de John Wilkins por Jorge Luis Borges en Otras inquisiciones Las palabras del idioma analitico de John Wilkins no son torpes simbolos arbitrarios; cada una de las letras que las integran es significativa, como lo fueron las de la Sagrada Escritura para los cabalistas. Mauthner observa que los ni~os podrian aprender ese idioma sin saber que es artificioso; despues en el colegio, descubririan que es tambien una clave universal y una enciclopedia secreta. He registrado las arbitrariedades de Wilkins, del desconocido (o apocrifo) enciclopedista chino y del Instituto Bibliografico de Bruselas; notoriamente no hay clasificacion del universo que no sea arbitraria y conjetural. La razon es muy simple: no sabemos que cosa es el universo. "El mundo escribe David Hume es tal vez el bosquejo rudimentario de algun dios infantil, que lo abandono a medio hacer, avergonzado de su ejecucion deficiente; es obra de un dios subalterno, de quien los dioses superiores se burlan; es la confusa produccion de una divinidad decrepita y jubilada, que ya se ha muerto" (_Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion_, V. 1779). Cabe ir mas lejos; cabe sospechar que no hay universo en el sentido organico, unificador, que tiene esa ambiciosa palabra. Si lo hay, falta conjeturar su proposito; falta conjeturar las palabras, las definiciones, las etimologias, las sinonimias, del secreto diccionario de Dios. La imposibilidad de penetrar el esquema divino del universo no puede, sin embargo, disuadirnos de planear esquemas humanos, aunque nos conste que estos son provisorios. El idioma analitico de Wilkins no es el menos admirable de esos esquemas. Los generos y especies que lo componen son contradictorios y vagos; el artificio de que las letras de las palabras indiquen subdivisiones y, divisiones es, sin duda, ingenioso. La palabra salmon no nos dice nada; la voz correspondiente. define (para el hombre versado en las cuarenta categorias y en los generos de esas categorias) un pez escamoso, fluvial, de carne rojiza. (Teoricamente, no es inconcebible un idioma donde el nombre de cada ser indicara todos los pormenores de su destino, pasado venidero,)

ArmyInfantry Regiment, 3rd (1815- ) United States. ArmyInfantry Regiment, 15th (1861- ) Service: Background note: West Pointer John Darragh Wilkins was a career army officer with fifteen years of service behind him when the Civil War broke out. Having already received a commendation for gallant and meritorious conduct at the Battles of Contreras and Churubusco during the Mexican War, Wilkins had the reasonable expectation of personal advancement, and when he received a promotion from Adjutant to Captain of the 3rd Infantry in April, 1861, his notions might have seemed confirmed. Like many ambitious officers in the regular army, Wilkins was skeptical about the value of volunteer troops, and by the early months of 1862, his attitudes began to sour as he felt increasingly frustrated with the poor performance of the non-professionals in combat, the self-seeking leadership in the military, and the army's general ineffectiveness. Yet gnawing away even more at Wilkins' morale was his sense that while his class-mates from West Point and other officers rose through the ranks with ease, he remained mired in the sargassum of a captaincy. He moaned about having become the only field officer in his regiment, and was thus acting commander, while promotion still managed to elude him.

Classics Home Postgraduate Home Undergraduate Home Taught Masters ... Contact Professor John Wilkins I am a specialist in the history of food in Greco-Roman culture, with current interests in literature (especially comic drama) and medicine (especially nutrition). The texts I am currently working on are the Deipnosophistae (Philosophers at Dinner) of Athenaeus and On the Powers of Foods of Galen, both written in the last 2nd/early 3rd centuries AD, at a time when Greek authors were reviewing the previous millennium of Greek culture. I enjoy spending time in the countries of Europe, eating unusual food and (best of all) sitting round a table with friends, sharing food and drink and arguing about things that really matter. I have co-organised conferences on food, comedy, Athenaeus and international exchange in Britain and abroad. I am also developing electronic aids to teaching and research. I have strong links and a number of shared projects with colleagues in Paris. I have had research grants from the AHRB and the Wellcome Trust for visits to Germany and Poland. I was a visiting professor in Paris in 2000. My publications include: Euripides: Heraclidae (Oxford, 1993)

Heraldry Major General John Wilkins, Jr. 7th Quartermaster General June 1796-June 1802 John Wilkins, Jr. was born in Donegal township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1761, but within two years his father had moved the family westward to Carlisle. Ardent supporters of the Revolution, both father and son fought in its campaigns. John Wilkins enlisted at the age of sixteen, still in his teens, he was officially listed as a surgeon's mate in the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment in 1780. He transferred to the 1st Pennsylvania at the beginning of 1783 and served until the close of the Revolutionary War. It was undoubtedly as a result of his service as surgeon's mate that he won the nickname "doctor." After the war to Wilkins established a store in western Pennsylvania. He was a brisk, energetic trader, alert to every venture that promised profit. By the summer of 1790 he moved his store to Presque Isle to tap into the fur trade. During the next five years Wilkins eagerly pursued every business opportunity. He engaged in a profitable trade. But his arrangements to deliver flour to the William Duer, who was supplying rations to the western army garrisons and was soon to be responsible for supplying the St. Clair expedition, did not prove advantageous. Wilkins continued to build up his business and land interests and was still serving as a Brigadier General of the Allegheny militia when Washington appointed him Quartermaster General of the army on June 1, 1796. He immediately wrote General Wayne that he would proceed "with all expedition" as soon as his instructions and commission arrived from the Secretary of War. Four months later he informed the commander-in-chief that he had ''particular business at Pittsburgh, which induces me to relinquish my appointment." Apparently his resignation was not accepted because he continued as Quartermaster General for six years until the office was abolished by Congress on March 16, 1802.

75. The Analytical Language Of John Wilkins The Analytical Language of john wilkins. I have checked, and the fourteenth editionof the Encyclopaedia Britannica has dropped its article on john wilkins. http://www.entish.org/Wilkins.html

The Analytical Language of John Wilkins Jorge Luis Borges, from Otras Inquisiciones Translated by Will Fitzgerald I have checked, and the fourteenth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica has dropped its article on John Wilkins. This makes sense when you think of how trivial the article is20 lines of purely biographical facts: Wilkins was born in 1614, Wilkins died in 1672, Wilkins was chaplain for Charles Louise, Elector Palatine; Wilkins was named rector of one of the colleges at Oxford, Wilkins was the first Secretary of the Royal Society of London, etc. It is wrong, though, if we consider Wilkins's speculative work. He was abundantly curious: he was interested in theology, cryptography, music, the fabrication of transparent beehives, the orbit of an invisible planet, the possibility of traveling to the moon, the possibility of, and the principles underlying, a universal language. To this last problem he dedicated his book Towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Langauge (600 pages in quarto, 1668). Our National Library does not have a copy of this book; I have consulted, to write this note, The Life and Times of John Wilkins (1910), by P.A. Wright Henderson; the

My Notes and Research on the Wilkins Families... From in and around Mecklenburg Co., Virginia to Wilkes and Franklin County, in Georgia, to my direct line in Hickman and Perry Counties, in Tennessee. WILKINS SURNAME DISTRIBUTION IN THE U.S. (Provided by Hamrick Software The color of each state indicates how frequently you will find someone with this surname in each state. For instance, if a state is colored red, then 1 in 100 people (or more) in that state have the surname. Similarly, yellow means approximately 1 in 300 have the surname, green means 1 in 1000, and blue means 1 in 10,000 (or less). The following notes were located in the Centerville, Hickman County, Tenn. Library and were found in a document titled History of The Only, Tenn. Wilkins The name of the authors were William Almond Knight and his brother Harold Thomas Knight. The first couple of paragraphs of this writing state that "John Wilkins (1596-1649) came to the Colony of Jamestown in 1623 from Wales. This was just 11 years after the English had established there in what is now Virginia. His son was Benjamin Wilkins (1648-1747). His son was Joseph Wilkins (1704-1780). His son was Clement Wilkins. The Wilkins family that settled in what is now Hickman County, Tennessee, have been traced back to Clement Wilkins who was born in the Colony of Georgia. It was here that he married Clarissa Dicker. The Virginia State Library has a record that Clement Wilkins repaired arms during the Revolutionary War."
