		The departure of Philip Derham proved to be damaging to the Derham firm at least in the short term.
		In 1934 Derham partnered with Newport in a side-project to develop a fast, lightweight custom-bodied sport coupe that could be mounted on a Ford Model A chassis that was to marketed as the Aeronaut.

	Derham's Catalog of 16 "Nebulous Stars" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In 1733, William Derham published a list of 16 nebulae in his contribution to the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London (Derham 1733), 14 of which he had found in Hevelius' Prodomus Astronomiae.
		As Derham's publication got fairly widespread, many astronomers after him, including Messier, spent a lot of time to look for the 12 non-existing objects without being able to find anything significant.
		Derham mentions that he also observed 5 of the 6 objects in Halley's list of 6 "Nebulae" (all but Omega Centauri which is too south), and found one, M11 in Antinous/Scutum, to be a cluster; apparently he was the frist to resolve M11 into stars.

	Design Arguments for the Existence of God [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Pursuing a strategy that has been adopted by the contemporary intelligent design movement, John Ray, Richard Bentley, and William Derham drew on scientific discoveries of the 16th and 17th Century to argue for the existence of an intelligent Deity.
		William Derham, for example, saw evidence of intelligent design in the vision of birds, the drum of the ear, the eye-socket, and the digestive system.

		Derham was perhaps not so far off the mark.
		William Derham's contemporary, the mathematician Nicolas Malebranche, said it all: "Attentiveness is the natural prayer of the soul."

	The Daily Press - Ashland, WI
		Friday, September 09th, 2005 09:39:35 AM The concept of “Intelligent Design,” or as some call it, Implied Deism, is not new. In 45 B.C. Cicero wrote in De Natura Deorum, “When you see a sundial or a water-clock, you see that it tells the time by design and not by chance.
		How then can you imagine that the universe as a whole is devoid of purpose and intelligence, when it embraces everything, including these artifacts themselves and their artificers?” This anticipated the writing of William Derham who published his Artificial Clockmaker in 1696.
		The idea was widely popularized by William Paley in his book “Natural Theology, or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity collected from the Appearances of Nature,” published in 1802.

		The economic and statistical writings of Sir William Petty (1623-1687) are only a fraction of the total output of his diligent pen.
		William Petty was born May 26, 1623, at Romsey, in Hampshire, where his father was a poor clothier.
		Derham was appointed to lecture upon the famous Boyle foundation for proving the Christian religion against atheists, deists, pagans, Jews, and Mohammedans; and, as became a scientific clergyman of the pre-Darwinian era, he decided to demonstrate the being and attributes of God from his works of creation.

	Chapter 1: 'Standing on the Sholders of Giants.'
		Even in 1758 William Borlase would observe that the 'principal use' of the study of natural history was 'that it leads us directly to Religion; it shews us every where the plain footsteps of design and intelligence, and points out to us all the attributes of GOD.'
		Ray and his eighteenth-century successors could thus move easily and readily from the contemplation of nature to the contemplation of the divine, a trope that would be maintained well into the Victorian era and beyond.
		William Harvey (1578-1657), the English physician who discovered that blood circulates around bodies -- a seemingly clear example of the modern's anatomical superiority over the ancients -- strongly supported the ancient writers, and according to Aubrey he described the followers of the new science as 'shitt-breeches'.

		According to the Oxford English Dictionary, its earliest use can be traced to William Derham, an English scientist in the 17th and 18th centuries who is best known for his effort to measure the speed of sound by timing the interval between the flash and roar of a cannon.
		William Paley, chairman of CBS, gave a speech to a broadcasters' convention in 1980, noting that "the convergence of delivery mechanisms for news and information raises anew some critical First Amendment questions."
		And as early as 1979, Nicholas Negroponte of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was using three overlapping circles in discussions with business executives he hoped would fund his research.

		William Kirby and William Spence, for example, devote several pages of their Introduction to Entomology (1828) to the lesser death-watch, "so called, because it emits a sound resembling the ticking of a watch, supposed to predict the death of some one of the family in the house in which it is heard" (13).
		Similarly, two treatises by James Rennie, Insect Architecture and Insect Miscellanies, rehearse the superstition attached to the death-watch and describe its sound as "resembling the ticking of a watch" (14).

		Others proposed huge magnetic islands or rocks far to the north which guided the motions of the compass needle; tales were even told of these rocks pulling nails from passing ships and sinking them.
		While approving of the observations of his compatriots such as Edward Wright, Robert Norman, William Barlowe, and others connected with navigation, Gilbert dismissed most earlier theories as "figments and ravings." Such theories had been founded on reckless speculation rather than careful observation.
		Constructing an entire system upon his favorite subject, Gilbert had, in Bacon's opinion, "become a magnet; that is, he has ascribed too many things to that force, and built a ship out of a shell." In contrast to Gilbert, Bacon rejected the diurnal rotation of the earth and supposed a material cause for magnetism.
