		The geodetical labours of Sir George Everest rank among the finest achievements of their kind; and more especially his measurement of the meridional arc of India, r I Z° in length, is accounted as unrivalled in the annals of the science.

		Everest is the highest mountain on Earth (as measured from sea level).
		The modern pronunciation of Everest – IPA: ˈɛvərɪst or ˈɛvərɨst (first "E" as in "Ever") – is, however, different from Sir George's own pronunciation of his surname, which was ˈivərɪst (first "E" as in "Eve").
		It would be an insult to the people of the Himalayas to suggest that Mount Everest was "discovered" in the middle of the 19th Century AD--we can note that the surveyor was the first to note the mountain's distinction as "tallest", but we can't legimately call him the discoverer of the mountain.
