In 1758, Wilmot was in command of a brigade at Louisbourg.
It was while Wilmot was at Quebec that he received his appointment in March of 1763 as the lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia, succeeding Jonathan Belcher.

Montague, who grows nearly all of his own produce year round and enjoys it with homemade bread, says, "Growing food industrially is the land use activity that has the greatest overall impact on the environment.
Montague says, "Compost is ready when it is the color and texture of devil's food cake." By using quality mulch, watering is minimized and soil temperatures are moderated.
Montague, who came to the University in 1993 after 18 years of teaching at Purdue, hopes to instill in his students a sense of environmental consciousness.

 History of Nova Scotia; Book.2; Part 1; Ch. 8 - The 1767 Census"
On September 26th, 1763, Montague Wilmot was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.
It would appear, that with the arrival of Wilmot, records of civilian activities were first begun; prior to that date, as far as the English were concerned, Nova Scotia was a military outpost consisting of three forts: Annapolis Royal, Canso (ruined by the war) and Halifax (built by the war).
As for Halifax, in 1760, a contemporary observer described it as being "divided into three towns." There is the downtown area first set up in 1749; to south of that, "Irish town"; and, "Dutch town" to the north.

Rochester's recent, premature death, at the age of thirty-three, is recollected in the elegiac commemoration by Nemours and the Vidame of Count Rosidore, 'the life, the soul of pleasure'--a man who was 'the spirit of wit' and whose imaginative fluency was so great that he 'never spoke a witty thing twice' (1.2.92 and 104-6).
In 1935, however, Montague Summers argued that Lee's portrait of Nemours is also modelled on Rochester, who is in htis second representation 'seen steadily and as a whole', and therefore, in Summers's view, inevitably unflatteringly.
In the same interpretative tradition, Dustin Griffin has proposed that 'the witty and cynical Nemours is meant by Lee to embody the darker side of Rochester's character, as Rosidore embodies the brighter'.

On November 21st, 1761, Belcher was sworn in as lieutenant governor.
This position, however, he was to only keep until the appointment of Montague Wilmot, who, in 1763, was to become the lieutenant-governor.
To round out the picture, I should say, that Belcher, within two years of his arrival in Nova Scotia, went off to Boston, there to marry, on Apr 8th, 1756, Abigail Allen.

While we will certainly try to define how British women and men understood "Enlightenment," we will focus especially on how the people of England, Scotland, and Wales imagined themselves and their world.
We will also ask why it is that we regard this period as especially "modern." We are likely to read works by John Milton, John Wilmot, the earl of Rochester, Aphra Behn, Anne Finch, Delariviere Manley, Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, Lady Mary Wortley Montague, Henry and Sarah Fielding, Alexander Pope, Samuel Johnson, and Fanny Burney.
The Enlightenment was an international phenomenon, an often-contradictory ensemble of ideas and practices that offered new and explicitly secular ways of organizing knowledge, politics, and culture.
