A viscount ( , for male) or viscountess (, for female) is a title used in certain European countries for a noble of varying status. In many countries a viscount, and its historical equivalents, was a non-hereditary, administrative or judicial position, and did not develop into a hereditary title until much later. In the case of French viscounts, it is customary to leave the title untranslated as vicomte . Etymology The word ''viscount'' comes from Old French (Modern French: ), itself from Medieval Latin , accusative of , from Late Latin "deputy" + Latin (originally "companion"; later Roman imperial courtier or trusted appointee, ultimately count). History During the Carolingian Empire, the kings appointed counts to administer provinces and other smaller regions, as governors and military commanders. Viscounts were appointed to assist the counts in their running of the province, and often took on judicial responsibility. The kings strictly prevented the offices of their coun ...

Harmsworth Cup
The Harmsworth Cup, popularly known as the Harmsworth Trophy, is a historically important British international trophy for motorboats. History The Harmsworth was the first annual international award for motorboat racing. Officially, it is a contest not between boats or individuals but between nations. The boats were originally to be designed and built entirely by residents of the country represented, using materials and units built wholly within that country. The rules were somewhat relaxed in 1949 and may have been relaxed further since. It was founded by the newspaper publisher Alfred Charles William Harmsworth (later Lord Northcliffe) in 1903. In 1903, the course was from Cobh (Queenstown) to the marina in Cork, Ireland. It was a poorly organised affair, with many boats failing even to start due to the British organisers claiming the French boats were not completely built in France, and thus they were excluded from the race. Thus there were three entries, but the organisers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Harmsworth Popular Science
''Harmsworth Popular Science'' was a fortnightly (14 days) series of magazine publications forming an encyclopaedic series of science and technology articles published in the early years of the 20th century, and completed about 1913.

Britain (especially Birmingham) was then considered by the British people to be "the workshop of the world" and the magazine duly celebrated British technical and cultural innovation from Charles Darwin to Guglielmo Marconi. Editions There may have been several bound editions of Harmsworth Popular Science, (probably containing edited reprints of magazine articles) and one of them (undated), is in red cloth and leather completed in seven volumes. The edition was edited by Arthur Mee and published in London by the Educational Book Company. Volume One contained a foreword entitled "The Story of This Book" which outlines the various gro ...
