Montaign
Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne ( ; ; ; 28 February 1533 – 13 September 1592), commonly known as Michel de Montaigne, was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance. He is known for popularising the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight. Montaigne had a direct influence on numerous writers of Western literature in the Western world; his '' Essais'' contain some of the most influential essays ever written. During his lifetime Montaigne was admired more as a statesman than as an author. The tendency in his essays to digress into anecdotes and personal ruminations was seen as detrimental to proper style rather than as an innovation, and his declaration that "I am myself the matter of my book" was viewed by his contemporaries as self-indulgent. In time, however, Montaigne came to be recognised as embodying the spirit of freely entertaining doubt that began to em ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Montagu Pass
Montagu Pass is situated in the Western Cape province of South Africa, on the unsigned road between Herold and George. The all gravel pass parallels the newer Outeniqua Pass which is designated as the N9/ N12. The pass was named after John Montagu, Colonial Secretary of the Cape in the 1840s, who formally opened the pass in 1847. The pass was damaged by floods in November 1996, and was closed for most of 1997 for repairs. A driving time of about one hour will take one over the Outeniqua Mountains and through the village of Herold to the N9. The pass was designated a provincial heritage site in 1972. Construction In 1844, some 250 convicts started with the construction of the pass and it was opened for traffic in December 1847. The passage over the Outeniqua mountains, which used to take a full three days over the Cradock Pass, could now be accomplished within three hours. Today it takes 15 minutes by car.

Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms
The Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms or more concisely the Mont–Ford Reforms, were introduced by the colonial government to introduce self-governing institutions gradually in British India. The reforms take their name from Edwin Montagu, the Secretary of State for India from 1917 to 1922, and Lord Chelmsford, the Viceroy of India between 1916 and 1921. The reforms were outlined in the Montagu–Chelmsford Report, prepared in 1918, and formed the basis of the Government of India Act 1919. The constitutional reforms were considered by Indian nationalists not to go far enough though British conservatives were critical of them. The important features of this act were that: # The Imperial Legislative Council was now to consist of two houses: the Central Legislative Assembly and the Council of State. # The provinces were to follow the Dual Government System, or diarchy. Background Edwin Montagu became Secretary of State for India in June 1917 after Austen Chamberlain had resi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Montagu's Harrier
Montagu's harrier (''Circus pygargus'') is a migratory bird of prey of the harrier family. Its common name commemorates the British naturalist George Montagu. Taxonomy The first formal description of Montagu's harrier was by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758, in the tenth edition of his ''Systema Naturae'', under the binomial name ''Falco pygargus''. The genus ''Circus'' was introduced by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède in 1799. The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek. ''Circus'' is from ''kirkos'', meaning "circle", referring to a bird of prey named for its circling flight (probably the hen harrier), and ''pygargus'' is Modern Latin derived from the Greek ''pugargos'', from ''puge'', meaning "rump", and ''argos'', meaning "shining white". The species name was formerly used for the hen harrier before Montagu's was identified as a different species. Identification Plumage Sexual dimorphism is particularly apparent in the plumage of thi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
