1709: Encyclopedia II - Philip V of Spain - Life account

Philip was born in Versailles. The ever ambitious Louis XIV wanted to extend his Bourbon dynasty into Spain, and thus acquire rich possessions of the Spanish Empire. However, the other powers of Europe contested the idea, eventually leading to the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714). Although Philip was allowed to remain on the Spanish throne, the war cost Spain the possession of Minorca in the Balearic Islands as well as Gibraltar to Great Britain and the Spanish Netherlands to the Habsburgs. The losses that occured because of the war gre ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Exeter New Hampshire - History

Exeter was one of four original townships in New Hampshire. It was founded in 1638 by the Reverend John Wheelwright, who purchased the territory from Wehanownowit, sagamore of the Squamscot Indians, a Pennacook tribe living in the vicinity. In 1774, after Royal Governor John Wentworth dissolved the rebellious Provincial Assembly at the colonial capitol in Portsmouth, the Provincial Congress began meeting in the Exeter Town House. In July of 1775, the Provincial Congress had the provincial records seized from royal officials in ...

In 1708, he became Crown Prince. In 1709, upon the abdication of Emperor Higashiyama, he became Emperor. Because of his youth, first his father, the retired Emperor Higashiyama, and then his grandfather, the retired Emperor Reigen ruled in his name. His reign corresponded to the period from the sixth shōgun, Tokugawa Ienobu, to the eighth shōgun, Tokugawa Yoshimune. During this period, relations with the Bakufu were fairly good.

1709: Encyclopedia II - Julien Offray de La Mettrie - Death

La Mettrie's celebration of sensual pleasure was said to have resulted in his early death. Those who disagreed with La Mettrie's philosophy used his death to claim that atheistic sensuality justifiably results in an untimely demise. The French ambassador Tirconnel was very grateful to La Mettrie for curing him of an illness. A feast was given to celebrate the recovery. It is claimed that La Mettrie wanted to show either his power of gluttony or his strong constitution by devouring a large quantity of pâte aux truffes. As a resu ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Russian serfdom - History

The legal code of Ivan III of Russia, Sudebnik (1497), strengthened the dependency of peasants, statewise, and restricted their mobility. The Russians persistently battled against the successor states of the Golden Horde, chiefly the Khanate of Crimea. Tens of thousand of noblemen protected the southern borderland--a heavy burden for the state--which slowed its social and economic development and expanded the taxation of peasantry. After the passage of laws which further restricted the peasant's right to free movement, the vast majori ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Coke fuel - Properties & usage

Coke typically has a specific gravity in the range 1.85 - 1.9. It is highly porous, and a mass of coke has 40% greater volume than the equivalent mass of coal. Since the smoke-producing constituents are driven off during the coking of the coal, coke forms a desirable fuel for stoves and furnaces in which conditions are not suitable for the complete burning of bituminous coal itself. Coke may be burned with little or no smoke under combustion conditions which would result in a lar ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Provençal literature - Origin

It was in the 11th century, and at several places in the extensive territory whose limits have been described in the foregoing account of the Provençal language, that Provençal literature first made its appearance. It took poetic form; and its oldest monuments show a relative perfection and a variety from which it may be concluded that poetry had already received a considerable development. The oldest poetic text, of which the date and origin are not surely determined, is said to be a Provençal burden (Fr. refrain) attached to a La ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Tokugawa Ietsugu - The Early Years of Shogun Ietsugu 1713-1715

Since Shogun Ietsugu was still a toddler and not old or able enough to rule, he, like his father, was put under the protection and advice of Confucian scholar Arai Hakuseki. Two problems were addressed during Ietsugu's reign: currency reform and foreign trade in Kyushu. Ietsugu did not take much care of the country's matters - his advisors, namely Arai Hakuseki, addressed them. In 1713, prices were rising. Thus, after various proposals (most after the death of Ienobu) submitted to Shogun Ietsugu and Hakuseki, it was decided that a new ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Scots Guards - The Early Years

The regiment traces its origins back to 1642 when, by order of King Charles I, the regiment was raised by Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll for service in Ireland, and was known as the Marquis of Argyll's Royal Regiment. It spent a number of years there where they performed a variety of duties, but in the mid-1640s, during the English Civil War, the regiment took part in the fight against James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose who was fighting on the side of Charles I.

1709: Encyclopedia II - Isaac Newton's later life - Fluxions

Up to the time of the publication of the Principia in 1687 the method of fluxions which had been invented by Newton, and had been of great assistance to him in his mathematical investigations, was still, except to Newton and his friends, a secret. One of the most important rules of the method forms the second lemma of the second book of the Principia. Though this new and powerful method was of great help to Newton in his work, he did not exhibit it in the results. He was aware that the well known geometrical methods of the anci ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Russian history 1682-1796 - Peter the Great and the Russian Empire

Peter I, a child of the second marriage of Tsar Aleksey, was at first relegated to the political background, as various court factions struggled to control the throne. Aleksey was succeeded by his son from his first marriage, Feodor III, a sickly boy who died in 1682. Peter then was made co-tsar with his half brother, Ivan V, but Peter's half sister, Sofia, held the real power. She ruled as regent while the young Peter was allowed to play war games with his friends and to roam in Moscow's foreign quarters. These early experiences instilled i ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Roger Elliott - Early life

Roger Elliott was born, probably in the Tangier Garrison in Morocco, to George Elliott (CIR 1636 - 1668, the Chirurgeon to the Garrison) and his wife Catherine Maxwell (CIR 1638 - 1709). It is likely that George Elliott was the illegitimate son of Richard Eliot, the wayward second son of Sir John Eliot (1592 - 1632). Roger's father, George Elliott, died in 1668 and his widowed mother remarried on February 22, 1670 to Robert Spotswood (September 17, 1637 - 1680, the replacement Chirurgeon at the Garrison), and thirdly to Rev Dr George ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Colley Cibber - Cibber as playwright

Cibber's comedies Love's Last Shift (1696) and The Careless Husband (1704) are early heralds of a massive shift in audience taste, away from the intellectualism and sexual frankness of Restoration comedy and towards the conservative certainties and gender role backlash of exemplary or sentimental comedy. In particular, Love's Last Shift illustrates Cibber's opportunism at a moment in time before the change was assured: fearless of self-contradiction, he puts something for everybody into his first play, com ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Industrial Revolution - Causes

The causes of the Industrial Revolution were complex and remain a topic for debate, with some historians seeing the Revolution as an outgrowth of social and institutional changes wrought by the end of feudalism in Great Britain after the English Civil War in the 17th century. The Enclosure movement and the British Agricultural Revolution made food production more efficient and less labour-intensive, forcing the surplus population who could no longer find employment in agriculture into cottage industry, such as weaving, and in the longer term ...

1709: Encyclopedia II - Restoration comedy - Comedies

Variety and dizzying fashion changes are typical of Restoration comedy. Even though the "Restoration drama" unit taught to college students is likely to be telescoped in a way that makes the plays all sound contemporary, scholars now have a strong sense of the rapid evolution of English drama over these forty years and of its social and political causes. The influence of theatre company competitio ...
