    Определенный артикль
    Употребление определенного артикля.
    1) Определенный артикль употребляется как перед исчисляемыми, так и перед неисчисляемыми существительными в единственном или множественном числе.
    2) Определенный артикль употребляется в том случае, если соответствующее существительное употреблено как определенное, то есть если слушающий, по мнению говорящего, может однозначно установить, какой конкретно предмет имеет в виду говорящий. В частности, с определенным артиклем употребляются существительные, обозначающие информацию, уже известную из предыдущего контекста или непосредственно из окружающей ситуации.

    I saw a film yesterday. The film was about animals. — Вчера я смотрел фильм (неопр.). Фильм (опр. — упомянутый фильм) был про животных.

    Close the windows, please — Пожалуйста, закройте окна (опр. - окна комнаты, к которой находятся говорящий и слушающий)

    3) Существительные, обозначающие предметы, существующие в единственном экземпляре и известные всем (например, the sun — солнце), как правило, употребляются с определенным артиклем. Также с определенным артиклем употребляются существительные, обозначающие предметы и явления, типичные для окружения любого человека, являющегося потенциальным адресатом соответствующего высказывания, и, соответственно, считающиеся общеизвестными: the weather — погода, the police — полиция, the sea — море, водное пространство (в противоположность суше).

    Ursula looked at the moon — Урсула взглянула на луну.

    English people always talk about the weather — Англичане всегда говорят о погоде.

    This road leads through the mountains towards Cordova — Эта дорога ведет через горы в Кордову.

    4) Если существительное в единственном числе употреблено в родовом значении, то есть для обозначения всего класса соответствующих предметов как целого или любого представителя этого класса, то при нем ставится определенный артикль. В частности, существительное в единственном числе с определенным артиклем, употребленное как родовое, может называть вид растений, животных, машин и т.д., обозначать музыкальные инструменты.

    The elephant is a native only of the torrid zone and its vicinities — Слон обитает только в тропиках и смежных с ними зонах.

    At the century's beginning the telephone was new and the computer not even invented — В начале века телефон был новинкой, а компьютер даже еще не был изобретен.

    Can you play the guitar? — Ты умеешь играть на гитаре?

    5) Как правило, если при существительном имеется определение в превосходной степени, то перед ним ставится определенный артикль (превосходная степень прилагательного предполагает уникальность предмета в контексте).

    At the age of 17, he was the youngest member of the expedition. — Семнадцати лет от роду, он был самым молодым участником экспедиции.

    6) Существительное обычно употребляется с определенным артиклем, если за ним следует конструкция с предлогом of, служащая для ограничения и уточнения значения, даже если вся именная группа имеет неопределенное значение.

    Ten steps farther, the hind-wheel of the carriage, catching the wheel of a heavy wagon, broke to splinters. — Через несколько метров заднее колесо повозки, зацепившись за колесо большой телеги, разлетелось на куски.

    7) Определенный артикль употребляется в конструкции с предлогом by, обозначающей единицу измерения, характеризующую какое-либо действие.

    to pay by the month (by the job) — платить помесячно (сдельно)

    to sell by the kilo — продавать килограммами/на килограммы

    и т.д.

  • 15 Crossley, Sir Francis

    SUBJECT AREA: Textiles
    [br]
    b. 26 October 1817 Halifax, England
    d. 5 January 1872 Belle Vue, Halifax, England
    [br]
    English developer of a power loom for weaving carpets.
    [br]
    Francis Crossley was the youngest of three brothers employed in their father's carpet-weaving business in Halifax and who took over the running of the company on their father's death in 1837. Francis seems to have been the one with technical ability, for it was he who saw the possibilities of weaving by power. Growth of the company was rapid through his policy of acquiring patents and then improving them, and it was soon at the forefront of the carpet-manufacturing trade. He had taken out rights on the patents of John Hill of Manchester, but his experiments with Hill's looms for weaving carpets were not successful.
    In the spring of 1850 Francis asked a textile inventor, George Collier of Barnsley, to develop a power loom for carpet manufacture. Collier produced a model that was a distinct advance on earlier looms, and Francis engaged him to perfect a power loom for weaving tapestry and Brussels carpets. After a great deal of money had been expended, a patent was taken out in 1850 in the name of his brother, Joseph Crossley, for a loom that could weave velvet as well as carpets and included some of the ideas of the American E.B. Bigelow. This new loom proved to be a great advance on all the earlier ones, and thus brought the Crossleys a great fortune from both sales of patent rights and the production of carpets from their mills, which were soon enlarged.
    According to the Dictionary of National Biography, Francis Crossley was Mayor of Halifax in 1849 and 1850, but Hogg gives this position to his elder brother John. In 1852 Francis was returned to Parliament as the Liberal member for Halifax, and in 1859 he became the member for the West Riding. Among his benefactions, in 1855 he gave to the town of Halifax a twelve-acre park that cost £41,300; a statue of him was erected there. In the same year he endowed twenty-one almshouses. In 1863 a baronetcy was conferred upon him in recognition of his commercial and public services, which he continued to perform until his death. In 1870 he gave the London Missionary Society £20,000, their largest single donation up to that time, and another £10,000 to the Congregational Pastor's Retiring Fund. He became ill when on a journey to the Holy Land in 1869, but although he made a partial recovery he grew worse again towards the end of 1871 and died early in the following year. He left £800,000 in his will.

  • 16 Ramsden, Jesse

    [br]
    b. 6 October 1735 (?) Halifax, Yorkshire, England
    d. 5 November 1800 Brighton, Sussex, England
    [br]
    English instrument-maker who developed machines for accurately measuring angular and linear scales.
    [br]
    Jesse Ramsden was the son of an innkeeper but received a good general education: after attending the free school at Halifax, he was sent at the age of 12 to his uncle for further study, particularly in mathematics. At the age of 16 he was apprenticed to a cloth-worker in Halifax and on completion of the apprenticeship in 1755 he moved to London to work as a clerk in a cloth warehouse. In 1758 he became an apprentice in the workshop of a London mathematical instrument-maker named Burton. He quickly gained the skill, particularly in engraving, and by 1762 he was able to set up on his own account. He married in 1765 or 1766 the youngest daughter of the optician John Dollond FRS (1706– 61) and received a share of Dollond's patent for making achromatic lenses.
    Ramsden's experience and reputation increased rapidly and he was generally regarded as the leading instrument-maker of his time. He opened a shop in the Haymarket and transferred to Piccadilly in 1775. His staff increased to about sixty workers and apprentices, and by 1789 he had constructed nearly 1,000 sextants as well as theodolites, micrometers, balances, barometers, quadrants and other instruments.
    One of Ramsden's most important contributions to precision measurement was his development of machines for obtaining accurate division of angular and linear scales. For this work he received a premium from the Commissioners of the Board of Longitude, who published his descriptions of the machines. For the trigonometrical survey of Great Britain, initiated by General William Roy FRS (1726–90) and continued by the Board of Ordnance, Ramsden supplied a 3 ft (91 cm) theodolite and steel measuring chains, and was also engaged to check the glass tubes used to measure the fundamental base line.

  • 17 Young, Arthur

    [br]
    b. 11 September 1741 London, England
    d. 20 April 1820 Bradford, England
    [br]
    English writer and commentator on agricultural affairs; founder and Secretary of the Board of Agriculture (later the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food).
    [br]
    He was the youngest of the three children of Dr Arthur Young, who was at one time Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons. He learned Latin and Greek at Lavenham School, and at the age of 17 was apprenticed to a mercantile house, an occupation he disliked. He first published The Theatre of the Present War in North America in 1758. He then wrote four novels and began to produce the literary magazine The Universal Museum. After his father's death he returned home to manage his father's farm, and in 1765 he married Martha Allen.
    Young learned farming by experiment, and three years after his return he took over the rent of a 300 acre farm, Samford Hall in Essex. He was not a practical farmer, and was soon forced to give it up in favour of one of 100 acres (40.5 hectares) in Hertfordshire. He subsidized his farming with his writing, and in 1768 published The Farmer's Letters to the People of England. The first of his books on agricultural tours, Six Weeks Tours through the Counties of England and Wales, was published in 1771. Between 1784 and 1809 he published the Annals of Agriculture, one of whose contributors was George III, who wrote under the pseudonym of Ralph Robinson.
    By this time he was corresponding with all of influence in agricultural matters, both at home and abroad. George Washington wrote frequently to Young, and George III was reputed to travel always with a copy of his book. The Empress of Russia sent students to him and had his Tours published in Russian. Young made three trips to France in 1787, 1788 and 1789–90 respectively, prior to and during the French Revolution, and his Travels in France (1792) is a remarkable account of that period, made all the more fascinating by his personal contact with people differing as widely as Mirabeau, the French revolutionary leader, and King Louis XVI.
    Unfortunately, in 1811 an unsuccessful cataract operation left him blind, and he moved from London to his native Bradford, where he remained until his death.
    [br]
    Principal Honours and Distinctions
    Chairman, Agricultural Committee of the Society of Arts 1773: awarded three Gold Medals during his career for his achievements in practical agriculture. FRS. Honorary Member of the Dublin, York and Manchester learned societies, as well as the Economic Society of Berne, the Palatine Academy of Agriculture at Mannheim, and the Physical Society of Zurich. Honourary member, French Royal Society of Agriculture. Secretary, Board of Agriculture 1793.
    Bibliography
    His first novels were The Fair Americans, Sir Charles Beaufort, Lucy Watson and Julia Benson.
    His earliest writings on agriculture appeared as collected letters in a periodical with the title Museum Rusticum in 1767.
    In 1770 he published a two-volume work entitled A Course of Experimental Agriculture, and between 1766 and 1775 he published The Farmer's Letters, Political Arithmetic, Political Essays Concerning the Present State of the British Empire and Southern, Northern and Eastern Tours, and in 1779 he published The Tour of Ireland.
    In addition he was author of the Board of Agriculture reports on the counties of Suffolk, Lincoln, Norfolk, Hertford, Essex and Oxford.
