PORTO NOVO

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 124 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PORTO NOVO , a town of British India, on the Coromandel
coast
  in the
South
  Arcot
district
  of
Madras
 . Pop. (19o1), 13,712. The English began trading here in 1683, when they found both the Danes and the Portuguese already established. The place is chiefly famous for the battle in July 1781, in which Sir Eyre
Coote
  with 8000 men defeated Hyder Ali with 6o,000 and saved the
Madras
 
presidency
 . In 183o an attempt, finally unsuccessful mainly owing to the lack of
fuel
 , was made to smelt iron from the or-as found in the vicinity.
PORTO
 -RICHE, GEORGES DE (1849- ), French dramatist, was born at Bordeaux. When he was twenty his pieces in verse began to be produced at the Parisian theatres; he also wrote some books of verse which met with a favourable reception, but these early works were not reprinted. In 1898 he published Theatre d'amour, which contained four of his best pieces, La Chance de Francoise, L'Infidele, Amoureuse, Le Passe. The title given to this collection indicates the difference between the plays of
Porto
 -Riche and the political or sociological pieces of many of his contemporaries. In Germaine, the passionate and exacting heroine of Amoureuse, Mme Rejane found one of her best parts. In Les Malefilatres (Odeon, 1904), also a drama of passion, the characters are
drawn
  from the working classes.
