Sundial at Fredericton.

[Mike Cowham]

Dear Richard,     In your reply to John Carmichael about EoT + Longitude Correction Table you mentioned a sundial at the Fredericton Soldiers Barracks.  This immediately started bells ringing in my brain because this is the place where Alexander Ewing and his wife Juliana were stationed in 1867-9.  If you don't know the connection, then I should tell you that Juliana Ewing was Mrs Gatty's second daughter - Mrs Margaret Gatty, who wrote the famous Book of Sun-Dials.      There HAS to be a connection with the Gattys.  Perhaps you know the story?  I think that the origins of the sundial are really worth following up.   Regards, Mike Cowham. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Langley To: John Carmichael Cc: Sundial List Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 6:04 PM Subject: Re: EOT + Longitude Correction Table I combined all of the corrections for the table I prepared when helping with the faithful reconstruction of the Fredericton Soldiers Barracks sundial over a decade ago <http://new-brunswick.net/new-brunswick/fredericton/page1.html>. You can barely see the interpretive plaque low down on the wall. Some day I must put some better pictures of the sundial and plaque up on the Web. -- Richard Langley
