# Thomas Mante

Thomas Mante (c. 1733–c. 1802) was an English army officer, historian and military writer, and spy in the pay of the French government. Before 1773 he wrote his name as Thomas Mant.

## Life

Mante served in the Royal Marines from 1756 to 1762, and fought against the French in the Caribbean. At the end of the Seven Years' War, he served in the 77th Regiment of Foot at the siege of Havana, and then at New York, in 1762. The regiment was broken up soon afterwards, but Mante then joined Henry Bouquet in his 1763 campaign that formed part of Pontiac's War. During 1764 Mante was attached to John Bradstreet, as brigade major, in the expedition leading to the siege of Fort Detroit.
Later in 1764 Mante was in London. He has been taken to be the author of the 1765 plan to plant a British colony at Detroit, which was rejected. Running up debts, Mante offended his patrons, Bradstreet and Sir Charles Gould. He became involved in British intelligence work through dealings in the 1770s with the government official John Robinson; but he had already by then been recruited to spy for the French, from 1769, by Jean-Charles-Adolphe Grant de Blairfindy.
Mante's role as a double agent was probably known to the British by 1774, when they ceased to pay him. He had emigrated to Dieppe in northern France in 1773, and spent time in debtors' prison. To make ends meet he wrote, producing a work in French on agriculture, and novels in English based on French originals, published by Thomas Hookham. He was back in London in 1781, and at the end of his life was working still on his Naval and Military History.

## Works

Mante wrote:
* History of the late War in America, including the Campaigns against His Majesty's Indian Enemies, London, 1772.
* Treatise on the Use of Defensive Arms, translated from the French of Joly de Maizeray, with Remarks, London, 1771.
* Elementary Principles of Tactics (1771).
* System of Tactics, translated from the French of Joly de Maizeray, 1781, dedicated to Guy Carleton, lord Dorchester, London, 1781.
* Naval and Military History of the Wars of England, including those of Scotland and Ireland, London, 1795?-1807. The last two volumes were completed by another author.
# Chan Wing

Chan Wing (1873–1947) is a Chinese businessman in colonial Malaya. He is notable as the developer and owner of what later became the first generation National Palace of Malaysia.

## Early life

Chan arrived in Malaya at the age of 14 with his brother, Loong. They worked at a tin mine in Sungai Besi in southern Kuala Lumpur, but Loong was unable to cope with the harsh working conditions and returned home after a year. Chan Wing continued to work many jobs, including as a shopkeeper for two of Loke Yew's shops in Sungai Besi.
At the age of 24, he formed a syndicate with four of his clansmen, including Cheong Yoke Choy, to investigate tin ore next to Loke Yew's Sungai Besi mine. The syndicate, Hong Fatt Tin Mine, became the largest open cast tin mine in the world and made Chan a millionaire. It is today the site of The Mines Resort City.
Chan also ventured into rice and rubber, and with fellow towkays, founded Kwong Yik Bank in 1913. He chose to live permanently in Malaya, and as an act of defiance against the Manchu government he cut off his queue.

## Residence

In the 1920s Chan Wing built a mansion at Petaling Hill in western Kuala Lumpur for his family of 10 wives and 26 children. Designed by the architecture firm Swan & McLaren, it was completed in 1929 and came to known as The Big House. It was perhaps the biggest house in town at that time. Chan Wing's family was able to flee the country during the Japanese occupation in 1942 and the mansion was made the residence of the Japanese Governor. After the war, it was commandeered by the British.
In 1950, it was rented to the Selangor state government as a second palace for the Sultan of Selangor. Upon Malayan independence in 1957, the mansion was sold to the Malayan government and became the Istana Negara, functioning as such until 2012.

She graduated from Wellesley College in 1924 and then continued her studies informally while traveling around Europe and East Asia. Her travels in Asia developed her interest in trees as a landscape element. She went on to enroll in the landscape architecture program at the Cambridge School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, from which she graduated in 1934.
In 1954, she married Newton Belmont Parker, who died in 1993. She died on January 21, 2001.

In 1937, she opened her own practice in Washington, D.C., which she ran for five years while also doing freelance drafting work for other firms around town.
Parker worked for the U.S. War Department during World War II, initially as a draftsperson and later overseeing the fabrication of relief maps for the Office of Strategic Services. After the war, she reopened her practice, which continued (with interruptions) until 1975.
During the 1950s, Parker's husband was stationed in Central America, and she accompanied him there, living in Nicaragua and Guatemala, where she collected orchids. After their return to the United States, she taught at the Catholic University of America (1960–1963).
Parker's landscape design projects include the central plaza at St. John’s College in Maryland; The Octagon House in Washington, D.C.; and elements of Point Farm in Calvert County, Maryland, which is now the Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum. She created the original plan for a garden for U.S. Secretary of State Christian Herter, later expanded on by landscape architect Perry Hunt Wheeler. She also worked with First Lady Lady Bird Johnson on several projects for beautifying Washington, D.C.

# 1910 Costa Rican general election

General elections were held in Costa Rica on 7 April 1910. Liberal lawyer Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno was elected for the first time (he would subsequently be re-elected two more times, the only person in Costa Rica's history to be democratically elected three times). Jiménez was very popular in part because of his struggles against the United Fruit Company's abusive operations in the country. Jiménez was proclaimed candidate in the Teatro Variedades during the first Republican National Convention, Costa Rica's first primary election. Jiménez won easily over the other candidate, former president Rafael Yglesias who ruled an authoritarian, though short-lived, regime.
The 1910 elections were the last under an indirect electoral system and for the next elections in 1913 the direct vote was implemented.

# National History Museum of Romania

The National History Museum of Romania (Romanian: Muzeul Național de Istorie a României) is a museum located at 12 Calea Victoriei in Bucharest, Romania, which contains Romanian historical artifacts from prehistoric times up to modern times.

## Overview

The museum is located inside the former Postal Services Palace, which also houses a philatelic museum. With a surface of over 8,000 square metres (86,000 square feet), the museum has approximately 60 valuable exhibition rooms. The permanent displays include a plaster cast of the entirety of Trajan's Column, the Romanian Crown Jewels, and the Pietroasele treasure.
The building was authorized, in 1892, and the architect, Alexandru Săvulescu was sent with the postal inspector, Ernest Sturza, to tour various postal facilities of Europe for the design. The final sketches were influenced primarily by the postal facility in Geneva. Built in an eclectic style, it is rectangular with a large porch on a high basement and three upper floors. The stone façade features a portico supported by 10 Doric columns and a platform consisting of 12 steps spanning the length of the building. There are many allegorical sculptural decorative details.
As of 2012, the museum is undergoing extensive restoration work and is only partially open; a late medieval archaeological site was discovered under the building.
On 25 January 2025, the Helmet of Coțofenești, a Geto-Dacian helmet that was loaned by the museum to the Drents Museum in Assen, the Netherlands, was stolen along with three other loaned gold artifacts following a heist and remains missing. Following the theft, the loan agreement was met with criticism in Romania. On 28 January, the Romanian minister of Culture Natalia Intotero fired the museum's director, Ernest Oberländer, saying that he had "failed to adequately protect the national heritage".
