  George Salmon: from mathematics to theology
George Salmon was both a mathematician and a theologian.
Salmon came from a strong religious background and was heavily involved in the church, so it should not be forgotten that he was a strongly religious man. Perhaps then it was simply from a personal conviction that this was God's will and leading for him that led Salmon to give priority to his theological studies.
Salmon largely structures his theological writing around the absolutes of true and false: this is one of the reasons why his writing is so controversial.

 Reply to Salmon's Infallibility
I conclude that Salmon is a very unsafe guide for those who have not the opportunity and the inclination to check both his definite assertions and the impression conveyed by his use of language.
Salmon was a considerable scholar and doubtless, in the Protestant application of the word, a theologian.
Salmon not unnaturally concludes that there is something (namely, the Pope's personal infallibility) which is now part of the Church's faith "which those who had a good right to know declared was no part of her faith" in 1868.

 A father has his final fishing wish granted: 10/ 12/ 2003
George Horn's wish -- and more importantly, his will -- was to be able to make it to his annual fall salmon fishing trip to the Salmon River in Pulaski, N.Y. It's a trip he enjoyed with his two sons, George and Russell, for the past 15 years.
George sat in the wheelchair with his tackle box on his lap, fishing rod in his hand and his two big, strong sons eased their father down the bank.
George had carried his sons proudly up and down banks of rivers and ponds to go fishing when they were boys, and now the roles were reversed.

George - Salmon seems more occupied by his cocktails than the food, and his review was as pungent as his discription of the creek.
George didn't spend enough time talking about it, and Salmon, well, I couldn't get past his incorrect use of the word "discerning"--I think he meant to say "disconcerting", which indeed all his talk about contamination and E. coli proved to be while reading.
Salmon and George need to be less enamored with themselves and more into the job of evaluating the restaraunt and food.

George attended school in his home town of Cork, in the south of Ireland, and then entered Trinity College, Dublin in 1833.
His lectures on the “Infallibility of the Church”, first published in 1888, were a defence of Protestant principles against the tenets of the Church of Rome, and well illustrate at once his skill, his vigour, and his humour, as a controversialist.
Salmon also took a prominent part in the reconstruction of the Irish Church after its disestablishment in 1870.

The most distinguished of Mac Cullagh's students was George Salmon, also a geometer, whose books on conics sections and on geometry of three dimensions were republished in very many editions and in several languages, and remained in use well into the present century.
Salmon could carry through the most formidable of calculations and yet his books, the successive editions of which incorporated new and often original results, were models of clarity and elegance.
Apart from his work in algebra Salmon's mathematical interests were confined to geometry, and even the algebraic work may have been largely motivated by its relevance, through the study of invariants, to geometry.

George Perry-Smith has inspired many chefs to serve his signature salmon in pastry with ginger and currants, says Simon Hopkinson.
For someone to care a great deal about food and how it was cooked was unusual then, and it seems to me that some of these pioneering cooks of 40 years ago could knock a lot of sense into some of the cocksure identikit chefs of today.
The famous salmon dish came along later, but became synonymous with Perry-Smith and was taken up by like-minded chefs who eventually went on to open their own establishments, inspired by his teaching.

When Frank George Salmon arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia after his long voyage from Hampton, England, no one looking at him would have suspected that this young man would end up having such a profound impact on the fledgling city that was Vancouver.
