See also:GUICHARD, KARL GOTTLIEB (1724—1775) , soldier and military writer, known as See also:QUINTUS ICILIUS, was See also:born at See also:Magdeburg in 1724, of a See also:family of See also:French refugees. He was educated for the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church, and at See also:Leiden actually preached a See also:sermon as a See also:candidate for the pastorate. But he abandoned See also:theology for more See also:secular studies, especially that of See also:ancient See also:history, in which his learning attracted the See also:notice of the See also:prince of See also:Orange, who promised him a vacant professorship at See also:Utrecht. On his arrival, however, he found that another See also:scholar had been elected by the See also:local authorities, and he thereupon sought and obtained a See also:commission in the Dutch See also:army. He made the See also:campaigns of 1747—48 in the See also:Low Countries. In the See also:peace which followed, his combined military and classical training turned his thoughts in the direction of ancient military history. His notes on this subject See also:grew into a See also:treatise, and in 1754 he went over to See also:England in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to consult various See also:libraries. In 1757 his Memoires militaires sur See also:les Grecs et les Romaine appeared at the See also:Hague, and when See also:Carlyle wrote his See also:Frederick the See also:Great it had reached its fifth edition. Coming back, with See also:English introductions, to the See also:Continent, he sought service with See also:Ferdinand of See also:Brunswick, who sent him on to Frederick the Great, whom he joined in See also:January 1758 at See also:Breslau. The See also:- KING

king was very favourably impressed with Guichard and his See also:works, and he remained for nearly 18 months in the royal See also:suite. His Prussian See also:official name of Quintus Icilius was the outcome of a friendly dispute with the king (see Nikolai, Anekdoten, vi. 129-145; Carlyle, Frederick the Great, viii. 113-114). Frederick in discussing the See also:battle of Pharsalia spoke of a See also:centurion Quintus See also:Caecilius as Q. Icilius. Guichard ventured to correct him, whereupon the king said, " You shall be Quintus Icilius," and as See also:Major Quintus Icilius he was forthwith gazetted to the command of a See also:free See also:battalion. This See also:corps he commanded throughout the later stages of the SevenYears' See also:War, his battalion, as See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time went on, becoming a See also:regiment of three battalions, and Quintus himself recruited seven more battalions of the same See also:kind of troops. His command was almost always with the king's own army in these campaigns, but for a See also:short time it fought in the western See also:theatre under Prince See also:- HENRY

Henry. When not on the See also:march he was always at the royal headquarters, and it was he who brought about the famous interview between the king and See also:Gellert (see Carlyle, Frederick the Great, ix. See also:log; Gellert, Briefwechsel mit Demoiselle See also:Lucius, ed. See also:Ebert, See also:Leipzig, 1823, pp. 629-631) on the subject of See also:national See also:German literature. On 22nd January 176r Quintus was ordered to See also:sack the castleof See also:Hubertusburg (a task which Major-See also:General See also:Saldern had point-See also:blank refused to undertake, from motives of See also:conscience), and carried out his task, it is said, to his own very considerable profit. The See also:place cannot have been seriously injured, as it was soon afterwards the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting-place of the diplomatists whose See also:work ended in the peace of Hubertusburg, but the king never ceased to banter Quintus on his supposed depredations. The very See also:day of Frederick's triumphant return from the war saw the disbanding of most of the free battalions, including that of Quintus, but the major to the end of his See also:life remained with the king. He was made See also:lieutenant-See also:colonel in 1765, and in 1773, in recognition of his work Memoires critiques et historiques sur plusieurs points d'antiquites militaires, dealing mainly with See also:Caesar's campaigns in See also:Spain (See also:Berlin, 1773),was promoted colonel. He died at See also:Potsdam, 1775.
