The Way of the World by William Congreve Hypertext Meanings and Commentaries from the Encyclopedia of the Self by Mark Zimmerman The Way of the World by William Congreve Audire est operae pretium, prcedere recte Qui maechis non vultis.HOR. Sat. i. 2, 37. - Metuat doti deprensa.Ibid. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE RALPH, EARL OF MOUNTAGUE, ETC. My Lord,Whether the world will arraign me of vanity or not, that I have presumed to dedicate this comedy to your lordship, I am yet in doubt ; though, it may be, it is some degree of vanity even to doubt of it. One who has at any time had the honour of your lordship's conversation, cannot be supposed to think very meanly of that which he would prefer to your perusal. Yet it were to incur the imputation of too much sufficiency to pretend to such a merit as might abide the test of your lordship's censure. Whatever value may be wanting to this play while yet it is mine, will be sufficiently made up to it when it is once become your lordship's; and it is my security, that I cannot have overrated it more by my dedication than your lordship will dignify it by your patronage.

Sir William Congreve From LoveToKnow 1911 SIR WILLIAM CONGREVE Bart. (1772-1828), British artillerist and inventor, was born on the 20th of May 1772, being the eldest son of Lieutenant-General Sir William Congreve (d. 1814), comptroller of the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich , who was made a baronet in 1812. He was educated at Singlewell school, Kent , and (1788-1793) at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking the degrees of B.A. in 1793 and M.A. in 1795. In the latter year he entered the Middle Temple, and up to 1808 he lived in Garden Court, at first studying law, later editing a political newspaper, and in the end devoting himself to the development of the war rocket , for which he is chiefly remembered. Through his father he enjoyed many opportunities of experimenting with artillery material, and finally in 1805 he was able to demonstrate to the prince regent , Pitt and others the uses of the new weapon . In 1805 he accompanied Sir Sidney Smith in a naval attack on the French flotilla at Boulogne , but the weather prevented the use of rockets. In another attack on Boulogne in 1806, however, the Congreve rockets, which were fired in salvos from boats of special construction, were very effectual, and in 1807, 1808 and 1809 they were employed with excellent results on land and afloat at the siege of Copenhagen , in Lord Gambier's fight in the Basque Roads and in the Walcheren expedition. Congreve himself was present in all these affairs. In 1810 or 1811 he became

He was the son of William Congreve, a soldier who was soon after his son's birth placed in command of the garrison at Youghal. To Ireland, therefore, is due the credit of his education as a schoolboy at Kilkenny, as an undergraduate at Dublin, where he was a contemporary and friend of Jonathan Swift . From college he came to London, and was entered as a student of law at the Middle Temple. The first fruits of his studies appeared under the boyish pseudonym of "Cleophil", in the form of a novel whose existence is now remembered only through the unabashed avowal of so austere a moralist as Samuel Johnson , that he "would rather praise it than read it." In 1693 Congreve's real career began, and early enough by the latest computation, with the brilliant appearance and instant success of his first comedy

For all that may be said of the indifference of the true artist to the verdict of the many-headed beastand Congreve's contempt was as fine as anyit is not amusing when your play or your book falls flat, and Congreve must have known that he might write another, and possibly a better, Way of the World , but no more Love for Loves . Not to anticipate a later division of the subject, it may be said here that a man of thirty, of a fine intellect and a fine taste, of a languid habit withal, and with an invalided constitution, while he might repeat the triumphs of diction and intellect of The Way of the World , was most unlikely to return to the broader humours and the more popular gaiety of the other play. Congreve, like Rochester before him, despised the judgment of the town in these matters, but by the town he would have to be judged. He was a witty, handsome man of the world, of imperturbable temper and infinite tact, who c

Main September 26, 2006 William Congreve and the Rockets of Mysore From This New Ocean: The Story of the First Space Age , by William E. Burrows, 1998 (ISBN: 0-3757-5485-7) The first major battles with rockets that involved Europeans occurred during a revolt against the British which began in 1781 in the Mysore region of southwest India and lasted through 1799. The Indians fired crude but effective rockets against British regulars during battles at Seringapatam in 1792 and 1799. "No hall could be thicker," a young English officer named Bayly lamented in his diary. "Every illumination of blue lights was accompanied by a shower of rockets, some of which entered the head of the column, passing through to the rear, causing death, wounds, and dreadful lacerations from the long bamboos of twenty or thirty feet, which are invariably attached to them." The Royal Laboratory at Woolwich Arsenal was therefore ordered to design and develop a dependable war rocket that could be produced in large quantities as standard equipment for the artillery. This was done by William Congreve, a Cambridge-educated socialite who was an intimate of the Royal Family and whose father was commandant of the Royal Artillery and Woolwich's comptroller. Congreve had studied law and run a newspaper. As the eighteenth century turned into the nineteenth, and in the aftermath of the battles in India (and in anticipation of others with France), he responded by turning his keen intellect and imagination to inventing a better rocket.
