 Goethe
It had been the genius of Louis XIV to divide one against the other the factions in his kingdom—nobility and bourgeoisie, Paris and the provinces, government and the court—uniting them only in their competition for his favour in the artificial world of Versailles, which was wholly the creation of the monarch.
In 1792 Caroline Böhmer, daughter of the Göttingen orientalist Michaelis and unexpectedly widowed at the age of 25, came, with her 7-year-old daughter Augusta, to live with Therese, her childhood friend.
In the event elections took place in only 100 out of the 900 occupied constituencies, but that was enough for a Convention to assemble in Mainz on 17 March 1793 to do the little that was required by its French masters.

 THE SECOND KEY
On the other hand, it is also possible that this dedication was not only intended for Henry II of Valois, but for the future "Chyren, King of France the Second," the millennial French leader who Nostradamus predicts will restore the monarchy to France some years after 1999, possibly as early as 2002.
Rather, it is at this point that Nostradamus breaks from his sequential story-telling concerning 21st-century events and beyond to once again discuss biblical history and, perhaps as an afterthought, to reveal events destined to occur between 1792 and the mid-20th Century.
It is important to note that the distance in time between the paragraph concerning events around 1792 and the paragraphs describing war in the 1940s, and the pivotal year of 1942 when the fortunes of the principal antagonists began to reverse, is 150 years.

 From Revolution to Reconstruction: Biographies: George Mason
In 1774 Mason again was in the forefront of political events when he assisted in drawing up the Fairfax Resolves, a document that outlined the colonists' constitutional grounds for their objections to the Boston Port Act.
Virginia's Declaration of Rights, framed by Mason in 1776, was widely copied in other colonies, served as a model for Jefferson in the first part of the Declaration of Independence, and was the basis for the federal Constitution's Bill of Rights.
Mason died on October 7, 1792, and was buried on the grounds of Gunston Hall.

 Charles Babbage
Others willfully annoyed him with worn-out or damaged wind instruments.
Babbage thought the table would be "of value in many respects", and might "induce others to furnish more extensive collections of similar and related facts".
In Das Kapital, Marx quoted from Economy of Manufactures on this rage to improve: "Improvements succeeded each other so rapidly, that machines which had never been finished were abandoned in the hands of their makers, because new improvements had superseded their utility".

 The Project Gutenberg eBook of A Residence in France,
Besides my other deficiencies, the habit of writing is not easily supplied, and, as I despaired of attaining excellence, and was not solicitous about degrees of mediocrity, I determined on conveying to the public such information as I was possessed of, without alteration or ornament.
Most of these Letters were written exactly in the situation they describe, and remain in their original state; the rest were arranged according as opportunities were favourable, from notes and diaries kept when "the times were hot and feverish," and when it would have been dangerous to attempt more method.
These events have thrown a gloom over private societies; and public amusements, as I observed in a former letter, are little frequented; so that, on the whole, time passes heavily with a people who, generally speaking, have few resources in themselves.

Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis was born in June 1792 and on 21 September of that year the monarchy was abolished.
Political events in France meant that Cauchy was now required to swear an oath of allegiance to the new regime and when he failed to return to Paris to do so he lost all his positions there.
Coriolis was offered Cauchy's position at the École Polytechnique but by this time he was highly involved in his research and decided not to take on any further teaching duties.

 Hunter Museum of American Art
Americans defined their new role with a near-fatalistic belief in the righteousness and historical necessity of the nation -- Manifest Destiny, historians would name it, as vast territories to the west were added to the original thirteen states.
Art and architecture should therefore express the stability of establishment on the one hand, and the future promise of America on the other.
Influential tastemakers like Thomas Jefferson saw representative government and social egalitarianism embodied not in the art forms of the Church that had been a guiding force in European society for centuries, certainly not in the ostentation of kings, but rather in the stately forms of democratic ancient Greece and republican Rome.

Keep in mind, the events that we have been discussing thus far, occurred in Paris alone.
With this in mind, there was a sizeable faction within the National Assembly who were so satisfied that they claimed the Revolution to be at an end, since its primary aims had been achieved.

At the Congress of Vienna in 1814, Britain exerted its influence to induce other foreign powers to adopt a similar policy, and eventually nearly all the states of Europe passed laws or entered into treaties prohibiting the traffic.

 World Trade Center - Minoru Yamasaki - Great Buildings Online
The program presented to Yamasaki, who was selected over a dozen other American architects, was quite explicit: twelve million square feet of floor area on a sixteen acre site, which also had to accommodate new facilities for the Hudson tubes and subway connections—all with a budget of under $500 million.
The floor construction is of prefabricated trussed steel, only 33 inches in depth, that spans the full 60 feet to the core, and also acts as a diaphragm to stiffen the outside wall against lateral buckling forces from wind-load pressures.
Other nearby buildings were significantly damaged, including the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, and One Liberty Plaza, a 54 floor, 743' tall building across Church Street to the east.
