62. SKCM: S.Charles: History-St. Charles And The Church Of England
the Arminian influence in the Church especially with the appointment of suchmen as Richard neile, Lancelot Andrewes and william Laud to the episcopate.
http://www.skcm.org/SCharles/History/history_Charles.html
Home S.Charles S.Charles and the Church of England With the solid support of William Laud, who was appointed by Charles as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1633, Arminians were promoted and became the most influential party in the Church. Indeed church affairs in the 1630s were dominated by S.Charles and Laud. Laud became a hate figure for the Calvinist faction who saw that Laud and the King were set on dismantling the Calvinist edifice of the Church. Whilst keen to restore the catholicity of the Church Laud was not a Romanist and placed a special emphasis on the correct use of the Book of Common Prayer which had become almost unrecognisable in many dioceses. He also placed a restraint on preaching, believing it to be subordinate to prayer and the sacraments in public worship and that this would correct what he saw as an imbalance in favour of preaching. As can be expected, this provoked an outcry from the still sizeable Calvinist contingent in the Church. The Holy Communion was once again seen as the principal action of the Church rather than the sermon. The doctrine of the Real Presence at the Communion was once again taught in the universities. Vestments began to be worn again. Candles were lit once more and a greater emphasis was placed on the externals of worship including the use of music. In particular altars were restored in church buildings, replacing the communion tables which had in turn taken the place of the old stone altars during the iconoclasm of the protestant reformation.

    cubic
    last updated:
    Newton distinguished four classes of cubics. The diverging parabola is the third class. Newton states: 'in the third Case the Equation was yy = ax + bxx + cx + d; and defines a Parabola whose Legs diverge from one another, and run out infinitely contrary ways.'
    These divergent parabola s can be divided in the following species, depending on the solution on the right hand side of the equation: Newton distinguished five species, taking account of the two forms of Tschirnhausen's cubic.
    semicubic(al) parabola
    As being a kind of a Newton's diverging parabola, it is the situation where the three real roots of the right hand equation are equal.
    Its name is derived from the cubic parabola . The third (cubic) power is divided by two (semi).
    An other name for the curve was derived from William Neil(e) (1637-1670) who discovered the curve in 1657: Neile's parabola . This very keen mathematician showed great promise, but the refusal by his father of the marriage with his beloved girl did break him. And he died young.

    RICHARD NEILE
    NEILE, RICHARD (1562-1640), English divine, was educated at Westminster school and at St John's College, Cambridge. His first important preferment was as dean of Westminster (1605); afterwards he held successively the bishoprics of Rochester (1608), Lichfield (1610), Lincoln (1614), Durham (1617) and Winchester (1628), and the archbishopric of York (1631). When at Rochester he appointed William Laud as his chaplain and gave him several valuable preferments. His political activity while bishop of Durham was rewarded with a privy councillorship in 1627. Neile sat regularly in the courts of star-chamber and high commission. His correspondence with Laud and with Sir Dudley Carleton and Sir Francis Winde-bank (Charles I.'s secretaries of state) are valuable sources for the history of the time.

    http://banglapedia.search.com.bd/HT/F_0170.htm
    Fort William College an orientalist training centre set up by Governor General lord wellesley in 1800 within the Fort William complex. Its object was to effect moral and intellectual improvement of the newly recruited European civil servants. Wellesley envisioned ruling British India efficiently with the help of an enlightened bureaucracy. Under the existing system the young civilians, who were mostly between fifteen and seventeen years of age, were posted to districts without giving them any institutional training in local history, languages and the art of administration. Wellesley felt that both academic and moral training were necessary to make the new arrivals capable of facing the challenge of colonial administration. He set up the College of Fort William, Calcutta in 1800. Like the calcutta madrasa of warren hastings and the Benaras Hindu College of Jonathan Duncan, Wellesley's college was not, in fact, a fully government institution. Its expenses were designed to have been met by a contribution from all the civilians in India and an uncertain allocation that was to come from the operation of the Government Printing Press. A Department was established for each major language and culture of India. For each Department there was one Professor and a couple of Assistant teachers. Persian, which was still used as the court language of India, had a Department headed by Neile B Edmonstone, then a Persian translator to the Government. His Assistant teacher was John H Harington, a Judge of Sadar Diwani Adalat and Francis Gladwin, a soldier diplomat. For Arabic studies, Wellesley engaged Lt John Baillie, who was considered to be the best Arabist after William Jones. The Hindustani Language Department was entrusted to John B Gilchrist, an Indologist of great repute. HT Colebroooke, the famous orientalist, was selected to head the Sanskrit Department. William Cary, a non-civilian missionary and a specialist in many Indian languages including Bangla, was selected to head the Department of Vernacular Languages. All the Departments had a number of
