  ALAIN RENE LE SAGE - LoveToKnow Article on ALAIN RENE LE SAGE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Rhuys was a legal district, and Claude le Sage, the father of the novelist, held the united positions of advocate, notary and registrar of its royal court.
Le Traitre puni and Le Point d'honneur from the former, Don Felix de Mendoce from the latter, were acted or published in the first two or three years of the i8th century.
Les Andelys is the seat of a sub-prefect and of a tribunal of first instance, has a preparatory infantry school; it carries on silk milling, and the manufacture of leather, organs and sugar.

 DANIEL LESUEUR - LoveToKnow Article on DANIEL LESUEUR   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
LE SAGE, ALAIN RENE (1668-1747), French novelist and dramatist, was born at Sarzeau in the peninsula of Rhuys, between the Morbihan and the sea, on the I3th of December 1668.
For this also was part of Le Sage's idiosyncrasy that, while he was apparently unable or unwilling to strike out an entirely novel line for himself, he had no sooner entered upon the beaten path than he left it to follow his own devices.
That Le Sage knew Spanish literature well is of course obvious; but there is as little doubt (with the limitations already laid down) of his real originality as of that of any greatwriter in the world.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Alain-Rene Le Sage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Le Sage was both a dramatist and a novelist, and was a prolific writer of plays and romances.
"Le Diable Boiteux"(1707) is based on a story from the Spanish writer Guevara (1641):The demon Asmodeus removes the roofs of the houses of Madrid, to show to a Castilian student the foibles and vices within the buildings.
Aside from this Le Sage finds his inspiration in the Parisian himself; he describes Parisian society with truth and picturesqueness in a series of detached adventures and scenes.

Le Sage was in fact fighting a trend in the eighteenth century away from mechanical models of gravitation.
As did Le Sage, he argues that the absence of observed gravitational aberration is explicable with the gravitons having superluminal velocities.
The paper by Edwards proposes that the absorption of gravitons by bodies in a Le Sage mechanism is proportional to the bodies’ velocities as measured in the preferred reference frame defined by the gravitons (essentially the same frame as the cosmic background radiation).

 Bill Le Sage: 1927-2001
Bill Le Sage was part of the first wave of British bebop musicians to emerge in the late 1940s, and remained a lifelong devotee and highly skilled exponent of the form throughout a long and distinguished career.
Le Sage made his own pilgrimages to that shrine, working as a musician on the transatlantic liners in order to hear the progenitors of the form at first hand, a course adopted by many of his contemporaries.
The liner on which he arrived docked at dawn precisely opposite the famous street, and Le Sage wandered along the deserted sidewalk until he encountered the only other person to be seen at that hour, and asked where the jazz was to be found.

It was through Le Sage that Lhuilier obtained his first post as tutor to the Rilliet-Plantamour family, a post he held for two years.
Another of Le Sage's students, Christoph Pfleiderer, had been appointed to the position of professor of mathematics and physics at the Military Academy in Warsaw.
Le Sage tried to persuade Lhuilier to submit an entry to write a physics text but Lhuilier preferred to enter the competition to write a mathematics text.

 Physics at Minnesota: Physics and Astronomy Calendar
Abstract - Georges-Louis Le Sage (1724-1803) was the inventor of a mechanical explanation of Newton's law of gravitation.
Le Sage postulated a sea of ultramundane corpuscles, streaming in all directions and characterized by minute mass, great velocity, and complete inelasticity.
In a voluminous correspondence with nearly all the savants of the day, Le Sage constantly reshaped his arguments for his system in order to appeal to metaphysicians, mechanicians and Newtonians of several varieties.

 Du hasard sage au hasard sauvage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Ainsi, par exemple, le besoin en capital des établissements en capital ou bancaires, mais aussi d'entreprises non financières, qui cherchent à provisionner un montant estimé de sinistre correspond, de manière simplifiée, au coût moyen du sinistre potentiel, c'est-à-dire à ce que les probabilités nomment espérance mathématique de la valeur du sinistre.
Or, le monde réel ignore les moyennes, qui sont des inventions de l'esprit humain : de cet écart entre le monde réel et les modèles existant aujourd'hui vient tout le problème de la gestion efficace des risques.
Le cas général de cette invariance de forme des queues de distribution est décrit par la théorie des valeurs extrêmes, qui commence à être considérée avec de plus en plus d'attention pour le contrôle des risques.

 Book Review: Pushing Gravity, Matthew Edwards, Ed.
Matthew Edwards discusses the brief revival of Le Sage’s model in the late 19th century, spearheaded by Lord Kelvin.
The key to understanding the phenomena and answering objections is to recognize the need for two different media operating on vastly different scales, a "light-carrying medium" and a graviton medium.
The chapter ends with numerical constraints on the various parameters, and shows that Le Sage-type models are viable because of the absence of contradiction among the constraints.

 Scraps of Philosophy and Criticism
Le Sage often sacrifices the conscience of his heroes to the humor of an intrigue; Scott gives his heroes a severer disposition ; their principles, their very prejudices have in them something noble that cannot bend to circumstances.
We are surprised, in reading a romance of Le Sage, at his great variety of incident; we are still more surprised, on finishing a romance of Sir Walter, at the simplicity of his plot; and the reason is, that the first labors chiefly on the general action, the second on the particular details.
In short, the works of Le Sage give us, as it were, experience of fortune; those of Sir Walter Scott give us experience of men.
