This article appears in Volume V08, Page 17 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DENAIN , a town of northern France in the department of Nord, 8 m. S.W. of
Valenciennes
  by steam tramway. A mere
village
  in the beginning of the 19th century, it rapidly increased from 1850 onwards, and, according to the censusof 1906, possessed 22,845 inhabitants, mainly engaged in the coal mines and iron-smelting works, to which it owes its development. There are also breweries, manufactories of machinery,
sugar
  and glass. A school of commerce and industry is among the institutions. Denain has a port on the left bank of the
Scheldt
  canal. Its vicinity was the
scene
  of the decisive victory gained in 1712 by
Marshal
  Villars over the
allies
  commanded by Prince
Eugene
 ; and the battlefield is marked by a monolithic
monument
  inscribed with the verses of Voltaire:
" Regardez dans Denain 1'audacieux Villars
Disputant le tonnerre a 1'aigle des Cesars."
