notes:
This book tells the fate of the surgeon of La Condamine's scientific expedition, Jean Semiergues, who was killed by a mob in a bullring on August 29, 1639, after defending a woman, Manuele de Quesada, who had been jilted by her fiancé. La Condamine, explorer, physicist, and advocate of smallpox innoculation, went to South America in 1735 to measure a meridian that would establish the flattening of the Earth toward its poles.
