He taught French for a year at Eton, where Eric Blair ( later to become George Orwell ) and Stephen Runciman were among his pupils, but was remembered as an incompetent and hopeless teacher who couldn t keep discipline.
French Enlightenment masterpieces such as Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon s Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière ( begun in 1749 ) and Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d ' Alembert s Encyclopédie ( volumes added between 1751 and 1772 ) thus became Ampère s schoolmasters.
The French Revolution ( 1787 – 99 ) that began during his youth was also influential: Ampère s father was called into public service by the new revolutionary government, becoming a justice of the peace in a small town near Lyon.
) Ampère s maturation corresponded with the transition to the Napoleonic regime in France, and the young father and teacher found new opportunities for success within the technocratic structures favoured by the new French emperor.
In September of 1820, Ampère s friend and eventual eulogist François Arago showed the members of the French Academy of Sciences the surprising discovery of Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted that a magnetic needle is deflected by an adjacent electric current.
Ampère also applied this same principle to magnetism, showing the harmony between his law and French physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb s law of magnetic action.
The military dangers in such an enterprise were numerous: Marlborough's lines of communication along the Rhine would be hopelessly exposed to French interference, for Louis generals controlled the left bank of the river and its central reaches.
" Marlborough, spotting this error, now countermanded Cutts intention to launch a third attack, and ordered him simply to contain the enemy within Blenheim ; no more than 5, 000 Allied soldiers were able to pen in twice the number of French infantry and dragoons.
The resilience of the French King, and the efforts of his generals, also added to Marlborough s problems.
" With Marlborough s departure north, the French now transferred troops from the Moselle valley to reinforce Villeroi in Flanders, while Villars marched off to the Rhine.
However, it seems that the Duke s favoured scheme was to return to the Moselle valley ( where Marshal Marsin had recently taken command of French forces ) and once more attempt an advance into the heart of France.
Nevertheless, the Duke could think of no circumstances why the French would leave their strong positions and attack his army, even if Villeroi was first reinforced by substantial transfers from Marsin s command.
The French moved first to Tirlemont, ( as if to threaten Zoutleeuw, abandoned by the French in October 1705 ), before turning southwards, heading for Jodoigne – this line of march took Villeroi s army towards the narrow aperture of dry ground between the Mehaigne and Petite Gheete rivers close to the small villages of Ramillies and Taviers ; but neither commander quite appreciated how far his opponent had travelled.
On the French side of the stream the ground rises to Offus, the village which, together with Autre-Eglise farther north, anchored Villeroi s left flank.
Moreover, this disposition – concave in relation to the Allied army – gave Marlborough the opportunity to form a more compact line, drawn up in a shorter front between the ‘ horns of the French crescent ; when the Allied blow came it would be more concentrated and carry more weight.
Taviers was of particular importance to the Franco-Bavarian position: it protected the otherwise unsupported flank of General de Guiscard s cavalry on the open plain, while at the same time, it allowed the French infantry to pose a threat to the flanks of the Dutch and Danish squadrons as they came forward into position.
As the French ranks wavered, the leading squadrons of Württemberg s Danish horse – now unhampered by enemy fire from either village – were also sent into the attack and fell upon the exposed flank of the Franco-Swiss infantry and dragoons.
" De La Colonie managed to rally some of his grenadiers, together with the remnants of the French dragoons and Greder Suisse battalions, but it was an entirely peripheral operation, offering only fragile support for Villeroi s right flank.
Therefore, unbeknown to the French who remained oblivious to the Allies real strength and intentions on the opposite side of the Petite Gheete, Marlborough was throwing his full weight against Ramillies and the open plain to the south.
But these French horsemen were amongst the best in Louis XIV s army – the Maison du Roi, supported by four elite squadrons of Bavarian Cuirassiers.
" Fortunately Marlborough s newly appointed aide-de-camp, Richard Molesworth, galloped to the rescue, mounted the Duke on his horse and made good their escape, before Murray s disciplined ranks threw back the pursuing French troopers.
