HALIFAX, CHARLES MONTAGUE, Earl Of Manchester (1661-1715),
The fifth son of the 1st Earl of Manchester
A English statesman and poet, fourth son of the Hon. George Montague, fifth son of the first earl of Manchester, was born at Horion, Northamptonshire, on the loth of April 1661. In bis fourteenth year he was sent to Westminster school, where he was chosen king's scholar in 1677, and distinguished himself in the composition of extempore epigrams made according to custom upon theses appointed for king's scholars at the time of election. In 1679 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he acquired a solid knowledge of the classics and surpassed all his contemporaries at the university in logic and ethics. Latterly, however, he preferred to the abstractions of Descartes the practical philosophy of Sir Isaac Newton; and he was one of the small band of students who assisted Newton in forming the Philosophical Society of Cambridge. But it was his facility in verse-writing, and neither his scholarship nor his practical ability, that first opened up to him the way to fortune. His clever but absurdly panegyrical poem on the death of Charles II. secured for him the notice of the earl of Dorset, who invited him to town and introduced him to the principal wits of the time; and in 1687 his joint authorship with Prior of the Hind and Pantker transvcrscd to the Story of the Country house and ike City Mouse, л parody of Dryden's political poem, not only increased his literary reputation but directly helped him to political influence. In 1689, through the patronage of the earl of Dorset, he entered
parliament as member for Maldon, and sat in the convention which resolved that William and Mary should be declared king and queen of England. About this time he married the countess* dowager of Manchester, and it would appear, according to Johnson, that it was still his intention to take orders; but after the coronation he purchased a clerkship to the council. On being introduced by Earl Dorset to King William, after the publication of his poetical Epistle occasioned by his Majesty's Victory in Ireland, he was ordered to receive an immédiate pension of £500 per annum, until an opportunity should present itself of "making a man of him." In 1691 he was chosen chairman of the committee of the House of Commons appointed to confer with a committee of the Lords in regard to (he bill for regulating trials in cases of high treason; and he displayed ia these conferences such tact and debating power lhat he was made one of the commissioners of the. treasury and called to the privy council. But his success as a politician was less due to his oratorical gifts than to his skill in finance, and in this respect he soon began to manifest such brilliant talents as completely eclipsed the painstaking abilities of GodolpMn. Indeed it may be affirmed that no other statesman has initiated schemes which have left a more permanent mark on the financial history of England. Although perhaps it was inevitable that England should sooner or later adopt the continental custom of lightening the annual taxation in times of war by contracting a national debt, the actual introduction of the expedient was due lo Montague, who on the isth of December 1692 proposed to rs!s< amillionofmoney by way of loan. Previous to this the Scotsman William Paterson (g.v.) had submitted to the government his plan of a national bank, and when in the spring of 1694 the prolonged contest with France had rendered another large loan absolutely necessary, Montague introduced a bill for the incorporation of the Bank of England. The bill after some opposition passed the House of Lords in May, and immediately after the prorogation of parliament Montague was rewarded by the chancellorship of the exchequer. In 1695 he was triumphantly returned for the borough of Westminster to the new parliament, and succeeded in passing his celebrated measure to remedy the depreciation which had taken place in the currency on account of dishonest manipulations. .
The seventh and eighth grade students in the Mehlville School District’s STRETCH gifted program used their risk-taking, creativity, communication and teamwork skills when they participated in the program’s Extemporé competition on Thursday, March 24. Given the task of creating skits based on a specific challenge, the students spent several weeks preparing their skits prior to the competition, and during the 20-minute preparation period before the skit performances, students used their quick-thinking skills to incorporate a surprise element into their skits.

This picture was taken in Budapest, District 8. This district of the capital is the most poorest part of the town. There live people who are on the margin of society. Without work, and social backing there is no hope for the escape from this milieu.

Augustin place, in 2008 twice named after the ballad singer, bagpiper and extempore poet Marx Augustin (1643-1685) and the singer, chanteuse, actress and dubbing artist Liane Augustin (1928-1978). Marx Augustin is said to have been very popular because he cheered the population of the city with its ribald songs especially during the plague in Vienna in 1679. To him, the ballad O du lieber Augustin is attributed, but which only in 1800 for the first time is proven in Vienna. The legend of the "dear Augustin" in reality could go back to the book The Plague in London (1772) by Daniel Defoe. Liane Augustin sang in the postwar period upscale Viennese songs as well as German and international evergreens. In the radio charts the artist especially succeeded with cover versions of American hits. In 1958 for Austria she took part without much success at the Euro Vision Song Contest in Hilversum.
Augustinplatz, 2008 doppelt benannt nach dem Bänkelsänger, Sackpfeifer und Stegreifdichter Marx Augustin (1643–1685) und der Sängerin, Diseuse, Schauspielerin und Synchronsprecherin Liane Augustin (1928–1978). Marx Augustin soll sehr beliebt gewesen sein, weil er mit seinen zotigen Liedern vor allem während der Pest in Wien im Jahr 1679 die Bevölkerung der Stadt aufheiterte. Ihm wird die Ballade O du lieber Augustin zugeschrieben, die jedoch erst um 1800 in Wien nachgewiesen ist. Die Legende vom „lieben Augustin“ könnte in Wahrheit auf das Buch Die Pest zu London (1772) von Daniel Defoe zurückgehen. Liane Augustin sang in der Nachkriegszeit gehobene Wiener Lieder sowie deutsche und internationale Evergreens. In den Radiohitparaden reüssierte die Künstlerin vor allem mit Coverversionen amerikanischer Hits. 1958 nahm sie für Österreich ohne großen Erfolg am Eurovision Song Contest in Hilversum teil.

Adrian Claudiu Sana started the group in 1999. At the time, it consisted of him and his female counterpart, Ramona Barta.
Akcent's single "Kylie" has risen to the top of several European music charts. "Kylie" also became a moderate hit in the U.S., charting well on the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart.

From The Primitive Methodist Leader, 20 August 1907:
“'AS IT CAME IN DAYS OF OLD'
Camp Meeting in Lowton Circuit.
'We've had a splendid day,' was the true verdict passed on the camp meeting at Bamfurlong on Aug. 9th. It was a day of fine devotion, hard work, deep spiritual experience, and splendid manifestation of Divine grace and saving power. In the morning, led by the Rev. David T Mann*, a series of short services were held in the streets right in the midst of the population. Afternoon saw us stationed in the midst of the people for the camp meeting. The hymns rang out, sung with real soul, and attracted the people. Mr W Winstanley sang an appropriate solo. The sermons by the Rev. D T Mann and Mr T Yates were brief, pointed, and impressive utterances. It was a good service. Then the Lovefeast**, conducted by the Rev. D T Mann, was exceptionally good. The testimonies were simply talks from the heart, and told with great effect. And the prayer meeting is beyond description. Spiritual fervour and divine power characterised it mightily. And what a sight as the minister appealed for decisions. There they came men, women, youths, maidens, to the number of 35, and knelt down at the 'penitent form' seeking and finding the Saviour. The glory was in all our souls, and we sang for joy. One of the finest features of the day was the rally of the young men. They did nobly for God and their fellows. The young men are on right lines at Bamfurlong. Quite recently they gathered straying young men of the village to a free tea provided at their own cost, and then held a brotherly meeting with straight brotherly talks by the minister, Messrs J Lysons, M Calland, and W H Roberts. That meeting was remarkable for spiritual power, and the firstfruits are seen in eight of the young men being converted on camp-meeting day.”
*A short biography of the Rev David Thomas Mann, Lowton Circuit Minister from 1906 to 1909, is at www.myprimitivemethodists.org.uk/page/david_thomas_mann.
**Richard Frith explains in “Methodist Worship... ” (2013 University of Birmingham PhD Thesis):
“One feature of Primitive Methodist Worship was the ‘agape’ or ‘love feast’, characterised by lively singing, extempore prayer, Bible readings, preaching and testimony. All present at such a meeting would drink from a common loving cup and share bread or cake... Following Methodist Union in 1932 the practice fell into disuse somewhat, but is now being revived in some places...”.
