MONTT, MANUEL (1809-1880)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 796 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MONTT, MANUEL (1809-1880) , Chilean statesman, was born on the 5th of September 18og. He had a distinguished career as a scholar, and was introduced into public
life
  during the
presidency
  (1831-1841) of Arieto by Diego Portales. Montt distinguished himself by his courage in the crisis that followed upon Portales' assassination in 1837, though only holding a sub-ordinate post in the government, and afterwards he held several ministerial offices, and during the
presidency
  (1841-1851) of Bulnes he became minister of
justice
  and public instruction, and later of the interior. He was elected president in 1851 and again in 1856, and though the Liberals chafed under his
rule
 , and two revolutions, in 1851 and 1859, took place during his administration, he governed Chile with an energy and wisdom that laid the foundation of her material prosperity. He was ably assisted by his minister of the interior Antonio Varas, and it was from the
union
  of the two statesmen that the well-known ultra-conservative
faction
 , the Montt-Varistas, took their name. His presidency was marked by the
establishment
  of railways, telegraphs, banks, schools and training-colleges. On giving up his post in 1861 he became president of the Supreme
Court
  of
Justice
 , a position which he held up to his death on the 20th of September 1880. His son Jorje (b. 1846) was president of Chile in 1891-'896, and a younger son, Pedro (d. 1910), in r906-1910.
