| | | | | 1738: Encyclopedia II - Augusta County Virginia - History Augusta County was formed in 1738 from Orange County, although county government was not organized until 1745. It was named for Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Princess of Wales and mother of the future King George III of the United Kingdom.
Originally, Augusta County was a vast territory with an indefinite western boundary. Most of what is now West Virginia as well as all of Kentucky were formed from it, and it also claimed the territory north and west of those areas, theoretically all the way to the Pacific Ocean. A series of maps show the f ...

| | | | | | 1738: Encyclopedia II - Pompeii - Lost for 16 centuries Thick layers of ash covered two towns located at the base of the mountain, and eventually their names and locations were forgotten. Then Herculaneum was rediscovered in 1738, and Pompeii in 1748. These towns have since been excavated to reveal many intact buildings and wall paintings. The towns were actually found in 1599 by an architect named Fontana, who was digging a new course for the river Sarno, but it took more than 150 years before a serious campaign was started to unearth them. The king Charles VII of Two Sicilies took great interes ...

He was one of the five children of Ranald and Elizabeth McDougall. In 1738 the family emigrated, going to New York as part of a party led by a former army officer, Captain Lachlan Campbell.

| | | | | 1738: Encyclopedia II - Domenico Scarlatti - Music Only a tiny fraction of this output was published in the composer's lifetime; Scarlatti himself seems to have overseen the publication in 1738 of the most famous collection, a book of 30 "Essercizi" which, surprisingly, dominate modern concert repertoires. These were rapturously received throughout Europe and were championed by the foremost English writer on music of the eighteenth century, Dr. Charles Burney. They may also have influenced J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, but there seems to be little evidence to support this idea. Sc ...

| | | | | | | 1738: Encyclopedia II - Dresden Frauenkirche - History The Frauenkirche was built as a Lutheran (Protestant) cathedral, even though Saxony's elector, Frederick August I (1670-1733), was Catholic. His support of the church's construction made the church an important symbol of religious tolerance.
The original baroque church was built between 1726 and 1743 and was designed by Dresden's city architect George Bähr (1666-1738), one of the greatest masters of German Baroque style, who did not live to see the completion of his greatest work. Bähr's distinctive design for the church captured the new spirit of the Protestant liturgy by placing the altar, chancel, and baptismal font direc ...

In 1738, she was granted a license to run Punch's Theatre at St. James's. It was a puppet theatre, and she used her puppets to perform a number of satirical plays. Her puppet shows were popular, and the government could not shut her down. She got the idea of taking her theatre on tour in the rest of the nation, and, while traveling, she fell seriously ill. Medical bills, according to her autobiography, cost her the theatre, and she sold her puppets at a lo ...

The following year, in early 1738, he presented his creation to the Académie des Sciences [4].

The trading arrangement between tribes was such that North Dakota tribes rarely dealt directly with Europeans. However, the native tribes were in sufficient contact that by the time of Lewis and Clark, they were at least somewhat aware of the French, ...

| | | | | | 1738: Encyclopedia II - Chimpanzee - History of human interaction Although Africans have had contact with chimpanzees for millennia, the first recorded (Western) contact of humans with chimps was made by Europeans scouting Angola at some point during the 1600s. The first use of the name "chimpanzee", however, did not occur until 1738. The name is derived from an Angolan Bantu language term "Tshiluba kivili-chimpenze", which is the local name for the animal and translates loosely as "mockman" or possibly just "ape". The colloquialism "chimp" was most likely coined some time in the late 1870s. Science ...

| | | | | 1738: Encyclopedia II - John Wesley - The Beginning of the Revival Wesley returned to England depressed and beaten. It was at this point that he turned to the Moravians, a group with whom he had become familiar in Georgia. His Aldersgate experience of May 24, 1738, at a Moravian meeting in Aldersgate Street, London, in which he heard a reading of Luther's preface to the Epistle to the Romans, and penned the now famous lines "I felt my heart strangely warmed", is but one of many experiences in Wesley's journey of faith. A few weeks later he preached a remarkable sermon on the doctrine of present personal salvation by faith, which was followed ...
