Question: Marie-Barbe de Boullongne was a philanthropist on what continent?
Context: Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent (the first being Asia).  At about 30.3 million km (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of its total land area.  With /1e9 round 1 billion people as of , it accounts for about 16% of the world's human population.  The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.  The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos.  It contains 54 fully recognised sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two "de facto" independent states with limited or no recognition. New France (French: "Nouvelle-France" ) was the area colonized by France in North America during a period beginning with the exploration of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with the cession of New France to Great Britain and Spain in 1763. Silliman University (also referred to as Silliman or SU) is a private research university in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, Philippines.  Established in 1901 as "Silliman Institute" by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, it is the first American university in the Philippines and the entire Asian continent.  The university is named after Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist from Cohoes, New York who gave the initial sum of $10,000 to start the school.  Starting as an elementary school for boys, the school expanded to become a college in 1910, acquiring university status in 1938.  For the first half of the 20th century, Silliman was run and operated by Americans.  After the Second World War Filipinos began to assume more administrative positions, culminating in the appointment of Silliman's first Filipino president in 1952. Marie-Barbe de Boullongne (ca 1618 – June 7, 1685) was a philanthropist in New France (later Quebec).  She was a co-founder of a fraternity honouring the Holy Family, the Confrérie de la Sainte-Famille, and also the benefactor of the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec.  She was also known as Barbe de Boulogne. The Continent Makers is a science fiction novella by American writers L. Sprague de Camp, part of his "Viagens Interplanetarias" series.  It was first published in the magazine "Thrilling Wonder Stories" in the issue for April, 1951.  It first appeared in book form in the collection "The Continent Makers and Other Tales of the Viagens", published in hardcover by Twayne Publishers in 1953, and in paperback by Signet Books in 1971.  It has also been translated into Portuguese, Dutch, and Italian. Jean-Antoine Chaptal, comte de Chanteloup (5 June 1756 – 30 July 1832) was a distinguished French chemist, physician, agronomist, industrialist, statesman, educator and philanthropist.  His multifaceted career unfolded during one of the most brilliant periods in French science.  In chemistry it was the time of Antoine Lavoisier, Claude-Louis Berthollet, Louis Guyton de Morveau, Antoine-François Fourcroy and Joseph Gay-Lussac.  Chaptal made his way into this elite company in Paris beginning in the 1780s, and established his credentials as a serious scientist most definitely with the publication of his first major scientific treatise, the "Ėléments de chimie" (3 vols, Montpellier, 1790).  His treatise brought the term "nitrogen" into the revolutionary new chemical nomenclature developed by Lavoisier.  By 1795, at the newly established "École Polytechnique" in Paris, Chaptal shared the teaching of courses in pure and applied chemistry with Claude-Louis Berthollet, the doyen of the science.  In 1798, Chaptal was elected a member of the prestigious Chemistry Section of the "Institut de France".  He became president of the section in 1802 soon after Napoleon appointed him Minister of Interior (6 November 1800).  Chaptal was a key figure in the early industrialization in France under Napoleon and during the Bourbon Restoration.  He was a founder and first president in 1801 of the important Society for the Encouragement of National Industry and a key organizer of industrial expositions held in Paris in 1801 and subsequent years.  He compiled a valuable study, "De l'industrie française" (1819), surveying the condition and needs of French industry in the early 1800s.  Chaptal was especially strong in applied science.  Beginning in the early 1780s, he published a continuous stream of practical essays on such things as acids and salts, alum, sulfur, pottery and cheese making, sugar beets, fertilizers, bleaching, degreasing, painting and dyeing.  As a chemicals industrialist, he was a major producer of hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acids, and was much sought after as a technical consultant for the manufacture of gunpowder.  His reputation as a master of applied science, dedicated to using the discoveries of chemistry for the benefit of industry and agriculture, was furthered with the publication of his "L'Art de faire, de gouverner et de perfectionner les vins" (1801) and "La Chimie appliquée aux arts" (1806), works that drew on the theoretical chemistry of Lavoisier to revolutionize the art of wine-making in France.  His new procedure of adding sugar to increase the final alcohol content of wines came to be called "chaptalization."  In 1802, Chaptal purchased the Château de Chanteloup and its extensive grounds in Touraine, near Amboise.  He raised merino sheep and experimented there in his later years on a model farm for the cultivation of sugar beets.  He wrote his classic study of the application of scientific principles to the cultivation of land, the "Chimie appliquée à l'agriculture" (1823), and composed his important political memoir, "Mes souvenirs sur Napoléon"(1893).  Napoleon named Chaptal Count of the Empire (1808) and Count of Chanteloup (1810).  In 1819 he was named by Louis XVIII to the Restoration's Chamber of Peers. This is a list of island countries.  An island is a land mass (smaller than a continent) that is surrounded by water.  Many island countries are spread over an archipelago, as is the case with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Indonesia (which consists of thousands of islands).  Others consist of a single island, such as Nauru, or part of an island, such as Haiti.  Although Australia is designated as a continent, it is often referred to as an island, as it has no land borders.  Some declared island countries are not universally recognized as politically independent, such as Northern Cyprus.  Some states, such as Taiwan, officially claim to hold continental territories but are de facto limited to control over islands. Consequences of War, also known as "Horror of war ", was executed between 1638-1639 by Peter Paul Rubens in oil paint on canvas.  It was painted for Ferdinando II de' Medici.  Although commissioned by an Italian, art historians characterize both the work and the artist as Flemish Baroque.  It serves as a commentary on a European continent ravaged by the Thirty Years' War, and the artist employed numerous symbols, both contemporary and ancient, to deplore the state of the continent. The Peru men's national volleyball team is the national team of Peru.  The squad won the bronze medal at the inaugural 1951 South American Championship in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  Peru women is one of the dominant forces in the continent, however the dominant forces in men's volleyball on the South American continent are Brazil and Argentina. John Boullongne, Count de Nogent (1690–1769) was a French magistrate and politician.
