# The New International Encyclopædia/King William's War

Edition of 1905. See also King William's War on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
KING WILLIAM'S WAR. The name commonly given to that part of the struggle known in European history as the War of the League of Augsburg which was fought in America. From one point of view the War of the League of Augsburg was a war waged by the Grand Alliance against the ambitious schemes of Louis XIV. for the territorial aggrandizement of France in Europe; from another it was the first of a series of conflicts, sometimes called the ‘Second Hundred Years' War,’ between France and England for colonial supremacy. (See France; and Louis XIV.) In America the active operations of the war were begun by Frontenac, then Governor of New France, who in the winter of 1689-90 sent out three expeditions, composed of French and Indians, against the border towns of New York and New England. One of these expeditions surprised and destroyed the town of Schenectady, near Albany, and massacred or carried into captivity many of the inhabitants; another brought a like fate to the village of Salmon Falls in New Hampshire; the third took in Casco in southwestern Maine, and harried other settlements in northern New England. Aroused by the common danger, Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut, and New York, by invitation of Jacob Leisler (q.v.), de facto Governor of New York, sent delegates to a colonial Congress, which met at New York in May, 1690, and discussed plans of attack and defense. The Congress determined to attempt the conquest of Canada, and planned expeditions both by sea and land. The land expedition, composed chiefly of troops from Connecticut and New York under Fitz John Winthrop, failed miserably; the main body got no farther than the head of Lake Champlain, though a small detachment pushed on and raided La Prairie, opposite Montreal. The fleet, under command of Sir William Phipps, who earlier in the year had led a successful expedition against Port Royal in Acadia, appeared before Quebec in October, 1690; but, owing to the failure of the English land expedition, the French were able to garrison the town with so strong a force that the English attack was easily repulsed. Phipps then gave up the attempt, and with forces much diminished by disease and shipwreck returned home. The remainder of the war consisted chiefly of border raids, by which much sutfering was inflicted without any substantial results being gained by
either side. The struggle was brought to a close in 1697 by the Peace of Ryswick. By its terms Louis XIV. gave up, with a few exceptions, all the conquests he had made in Europe since 1678, and recognized William III. as King of Great Britain, while there was to be a mutual restitution in America of all conquered territory. Consult: Parkman, Frontenac and New France Under Louis XIV. (Boston, 1877); Drake, The Border Wars of New England, Commonly Called King William's and Queen Anne's Wars (New York, 1897); and Myrand, Sir William Phipps devant Québec (Quebec, 1893).

# The New International Encyclopædia/Koriaks

Edition of 1905. See also Koryaks on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
KO′RIAKS (reindeer people). One of the northeastern members of the Siberian section of the Mongolian race. They inhabit the country (coast and interior) between the Tchuktchis and
the Kamtchadales, and are in part fishermen and in part wandering or semi-settled herdsmen, whose possession of the reindeer has raised them above the condition of some of the neighboring tribes, both physically and mentally. The Koriaks number some 5000, and are divided into several tribes. They are said to bear a striking resemblance to some of the natives of Arctic North America. Some ethnologists include them in the ‘Paleasiatic’ group, which consists of races once of more southern range, but now driven to the northeast by advancing peoples from the Asiatic interior. The languages of the Koriaks, Tehuktchis, and Kamtchadales seem to be related. Consult: Winkler, Uralaltaische Völker und Sprachen (Berlin, 1884); Kennan, Tent Life in Siberia (New York, 1870-79).

# The New International Encyclopædia/Krug, Wilhelm Traugott

Edition of 1905. See also Wilhelm Traugott Krug on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
KRUG, Wilhelm Traugott (1770-1842). A German philosophical writer, born at Radis (Prussia). He studied at Wittenberg as a pupil of Reinhard and Jehnichen, and at Jena under Reinhold, and from 1801 to 1804 was professor of philosophy in the University of Frankfort-on-the-Oder. In 1804 he succeeded Kant as professor of logic and metaphysics at Königsberg, and from 1809 until his retirement in 1834 held the chair of philosophy at Leipzig. He fought in the War of Liberation (1813-14) as captain of mounted chasseurs. His Handbuch der Philosophie und philosophischen Litteratur (1820-21; 3d ed. 1828) gives in concise form his philosophical system, a lengthy exposition of which was developed in the Fundamentalphilosophie (1803), the System der theoretischen Philosophie (1806-10), and the System der praktischen Philosophie (1817-19). This system has for its basic idea a transcendental synthesis of being and knowledge; that is, synthesis original and therefore unexplainable, in accordance with which the understanding recognizes the existence of the subject and of the external world, and of a connection between these. Thus it is seen to be an attempted harmony of idealism and realism. Consult the autobiography Meine Lebensreise (2d ed., Leipzig, 1840).

His companions, the best known of whom was the naturalist Forskål (q.v.), all died of hardship or disease, but Niebuhr continued alone and only after six years of wandering did he return to Europe. The results of his observations appeared in Beschreibung von Arabien (1772); Reisebeschreibung von Arabien und andern umliegenden Ländern (1774-78); and Reisen durch Syrien und Palästina (1837). He also brought out the results of Forskål's work under the titles Descriptiones Animalium (1775), Flora Ægyptiaco-Arabica (1776), and Icones Rerum Naturalium (1775-76); and contributed a number of papers to the German periodical Deutsches Museum. The accurate observation and the unswerving truthfulness of their author place these works among the most reliable books on the lands which they describe. In 1778 Niebuhr entered the civil service and removed from Copenhagen to Meldorf, in Holstein, where he died.
