De Motu Soni

De Motu Soni, Experiments and Observations on the Motion of Sound and Other Things Pertaining Thereto made by the Reverend Mr. W. Derham, Rector of Upminster Church and Fellow of the Royal Society of London. J. C. Welling translation of De Motu Soni attempts to preserve Derham's style. Welling was, at the time of this translation, the President of Columbian College (later named George Washington University) in Washington, DC. He also participated in several acoustics experiments performed by Joseph Henry as part of the US Lighthouse Board's study of the feasibility of fog horns.
