 P E E F A C E. 
 
 THE Gazetteer which I lay before the reader as the result of five years' 
 diligent labour, is constructed upon the plan of bringing together as many 
 articles as possible, under distinct heads, for purposes of reference. It com- 
 prehends both the topography and the hydrography of the United Kingdom, 
 and contains, in one general alphabet, the names of Sixty Thousand places, 
 seats, natural features, and objects of note in England, Wales, Scotland, 
 Ireland, and the adjacent Seas. The average space allotted to each name is 
 necessarily small, yet I believe that nothing essential has been omitted. On 
 the contrary, from the use of a plain style, a simple method of abbreviation, 
 and other arrangements, this Gazetteer will be found to comprise, in a clear 
 and legible type, more substantial information, collected from original sources, 
 and put into a convenient form, than the bulkiest of its class. 
 
 It includes the names of all the cities, towns, villages, hamlets, etc. which 
 appear in the Censuses of 1821, '31, and '41 ; all the names in CARLISLE, POTT, 
 GORTON, LEWIS, FULLARTON, CHAMBERS, HALL, and other general writers ; all 
 those in the Guide-books to Derbyshire, the Lakes, North and South Wales, 
 Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, the Highlands, Lakes of Killarney, 
 c. ; and all the Seats noticed in MOGG, BLACK, FRAZER, CLIFFE ; exclusive of 
 many additional names gathered out of the Maps and Charts which have 
 been consulted. 
 
 The natural objects, as rivers, lakes, mountains, hills, passes, waterfalls, 
 points of view, &c., with the bays, ports, headlands, lights, islands, shoals, &c. 
 round the coast, are given under their proper names ; besides every locality or 
 object of historical or antiquarian character, as Roman stations and camps, 
 Roman and British ways, Saxon towns, Druid stones, cromlechs, round 
 towers, Danish raths, " Picts' houses," castles, abbeys, &c. Mines and seats 
 of manufactures, canals, railways and railway stations, election and polling 
 places, coast-guard and police stations, are also noticed; and hunting "fixtures" 
 inserted from the most approved lists. 
 
 The Counties are fully described ; while the civil, political, and ecclesiastical 
 X divisions, as hundreds, baronies, wapentakes, poor law unions, registry and 
 o A 2
 
 iv PREFACE. 
 
 new county court districts, dioceses, ai-chdeaconries, and deaneries, synods 
 and presbyteries, are all carefully defined by a statement at length of the 
 places contained in each, drawn from Parliamentary and other returns, so that 
 their boundaries may be accurately traced. The late Census (in England and 
 Wales) having been taken according to the Registries and Unions, this Avill 
 prove, at least so far, to be a feature of more than common value. 
 
 The length of the descriptions of places is, in general, measured by their 
 relative importance, due regard being had to the name, ordnance number, 
 position, history, Parliamentary representation, municipal government, size or 
 acreage, population and industry, public buildings, poor-rate (and union), real 
 property, endowed charities, livings (with the diocese, value, and patron), 
 churches, brasses and monuments, antiquities, eminent natives, &c. ; with 
 market-days, fairs, races. 
 
 All the positions have been retaken from the maps, and as not only the 
 county, but the quarter of the county, in which a name must be looked for, 
 is given, the Gazetteer affords an easy and direct answer to the first question 
 concerning a place, " Where is it?" 
 
 To the population of 1841 is joined its annual increase (as compared with 
 the previous Census), to enable the enquirer to bring it down with tolerable 
 correctness to any year independently of the new Census, the results of which, 
 however, are added in the Appendix. 
 
 With a view to facilitate consultation, a mark is prefixed to the Parlia- 
 mentary boroughs, post and market towns, the larger ecclesiastical divisions, 
 and the remains of antiquity. The advantage of this will be perceived 
 upon turning over a few pages of the work. 
 
 Every name has a number referring to its own sheet of the Ordnance 
 Survey of Great Britain and Ireland, as far as published, so that THIS GA- 
 ZETTEER WILL BE ALMOST A COMPLETE INDEX TO THAT GREAT UNDERTAKING. 
 
 Such a companion, enabling the reader to judge, in some degree, of the 
 contents of the Survey, or to procure the exact sheet in which a place is 
 situated, has been long in request ; and thus, in connexion with the improve- 
 ments above mentioned, this work may claim the possession of a certain official 
 value beyond others of the kind, while it will serve not only as a record of 
 names, but as a guide to every locality of interest in the United Kingdom. 
 
 It is difficult to keep pace with the rapid production of statistics, when every 
 session gives birth to 60, 70, 80 giant Blue Books, so that even the most recent 
 compilations are soon out of date ; but in the Gazetteer I have endeavoured to 
 bring together such items as may suffice either for standards to go back to, or 
 for comparison between place and place. With regard to these and other 
 matters, a great deal that could not and need not be stated at length, is left to 
 be inferred by the intelligent reader, who, with a multitude of facts before him, 
 presenting unlimited scope for remarks on the condition and progress of any 
 spot, may be safely allowed to form his own conclusions. 
 
 I cannot omit to thank those correspondents who have been good enough 
 to favour me with useful information, which I have acknowledged in the 
 proper place ; but my gratitude is especially due to one contributor, whose active
 
 PREFACE. v 
 
 and persevering assistance I have had the good fortune to enjoy throughout. 
 I take the liberty to add, that this Gazetteer is not offered as an experiment 
 merely, but rather as the first fruits of a well-considered attempt to provide a 
 work of reference of permanent usefulness, superior, as I believe, to its 
 predecessors, yet only to be perfected by frequent revisions, aided by the 
 kindness of those who consult it, and who may be willing to communicate 
 through the Publishers whatever they notice to be defective or erroneous.

 Note. The Appendix to the 2nd volume contains a brief sketch of the three kingdoms, being, 
 for the most part, a summary of the counties, with particulars derived from the latest Returns, 
 and tabular views ; also a Chronology of the chief events and persons mentioned in the Gazetteer, 
 and an abstract of the results of the Census for 1851.
 
 %* ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, WALES, which are referred from the body of 
 the work to the Preface, have been placed in the Appendix to the Second vol. 
 
 ABBBEVIATIONS, ETC. 
 
 The counties are always in italic letters ; this distinguishes Bedford from Bedford- 
 shire, Buckingham from Buckinghamshire, Ayr from Ayrshire, Carlow from Carlow 
 county, etc. Such abbreviations as Beds, for Bedfordshire, Bucks, for Buckinghamshire, 
 Herts, for Hertfordshire, Salop for Shropshire, etc. are already common ; as are par. for 
 parish, vil. for village, etc. In general, the abbreviations of counties, dioceses, (fol- 
 lowing the livings), poor law unions (following the poor rate), railways, etc. are made 
 clear by the context. When a name is repeated in the same article, it is abbreviated ; 
 thus, A. Lodge, in an account of Abberley, means Abberley Lodge. A t^aT is used where 
 names which are alike, or nearly alike, are brought together under one head. 
 
 par. means parish, 
 tnshp. township, 
 vil. village, 
 limit. hamlet, 
 chplry. chapelry.

 The number of the Ordnance sheet a place is in, 
 follows the name in a parenthesis: thus (18). 
 Several of these are left open, for sheets not 
 yet published, or when places could not be 
 found on the maps. 
 
 Places are measured from the nearest market 
 town, the distance of the latter by road from 
 the metropolis (London, Edinbro', Dublin) being 
 joined to it; thus, "Wincanton-109," means 
 that Wincanton is 109 miles from London ; 
 "Burren-132," that Burren is 132 from Dub- 
 lin ; " Arbroath-62," that Arbroath is 62 from 
 Edinbro'.

 As an example of the most common abbreviations, take ABBAS and TEMPLE COMBE, 
 page 1, which read at length, is : 
 
 "Abbas and Temple Combe parish, in the 18th sheet of the Ordnance Survey, 
 ' in Horethorne hundred, on the NE. side of Somersetshire, 4 miles S. of Wincanton, 
 
 ' which is 109 miles by road from London, near . It contains 2020 acres, and had 
 
 ' a population of 461 in 1841, increasing 2 a year (so that in 1851 it may be about 
 '481); the poor rate (in 1846-7) was 3091., and it is in Wincanton Union ; the real 
 'property (in 1843) was 42681.; the endowed charities are worth 10/. a year. St. 
 ' Mary's Rectory is in the diocese of Bath and Wells, the value 3981., and the patronage 
 'with the Rev. T. Fox." Note. St. Mary here, the name of the mother church, is also 
 the legal name of the parish. 
 
 Measures. The acres throughout (unless others are spoken of) are statute acres, of 
 which 640 = 1 square mile (sq. m.) ; 1000 = 1 i sq. m. nearly (less by T '^). For all 
 cornish parishes, Dr. Boase's more correct acreage, given in Gilbert's Parochial 
 History of Cornwall, is placed side by side with the Population Return area, as a 
 
 specimen of the uncertainty which still exists on this head in England. In Scotland, 
 
 \s. scots = Id. sterling ; ll. = Is. Sd. ; 100Z. = 8/. 6s. 8d. 10 scots miles = 1 1 \ statute ; 
 23 scots acres = 29 statute, or 100 = 126, i. e. nearly ^ more ; in other words, ll. the 
 scotch acre is 15s. lO^d. the imperial. 2 wheat bolls = 1 imperial quarter ; 11 barley 
 bolls = 8 qrs. A davoch in the Highlands is an uncertain ploughland of 8 oxen (see 
 
 KIHKMICHAEL, Banff".). In Ireland, Is. irish = lid. sterling; ll. = 18s 5d. ; 1001. 
 
 = 921. 6s. Ifrf. 30 irish acres = 49 statute, or 100 = 162 nearly, i. e. about $ more ; 
 
 in other words, ll. the irish acre is 12s. 4d. the imperial. In the Channel Islands, 
 
 21 sq. ft. = 1 perch; 40 perches = 1 vergee; 2 vergees = 1 english acre nearly; 
 4 vergees = 1 Guernsey acre = 1 irish acre nearly. 
 
 N.B. The Excise Collections are in course of alteration ; therefore, at the beginning 
 of each, for " contains " read " contained," as the description refers to the past. For a 
 note relative to the height of Ben Nevis, see p. 988. in the Appendix.

 (which has a whale fishery), where 395 boats and 
 5497 hands were employed, 1843. Grouse, black 
 game, the hedge-hog, otter, badger, stot, polecat, 
 wild cat, are native, and the forests stocked with

 faced and a merino-cross sheep, are raised for 
 the mkt. ; butter is exported ; farm-buildings, 
 good and well enclosed small farms let from 
 3s. to 4s. per acre leases run 19 yrs. ; the 
 farmers are skilful and enterprising draining 
 and a rotation of crops are practised the heritors 
 are mostly resident, with a taste for planting, and 
 the Highland Soc. has given a stimulus to agri- 
 culture in general. Manufactures, mostly seated at 
 Aberdeen, are of flax and linen (about 4000 hands), 
 cotton (1648) knitted stockings (1330 at Brise,

 off to Burghead another went by Norman Dykes 
 (Devana) to Ituna (on the Ythan), Mons Gram-

 (see OLD A. below), was joined to this by Ch. I. 
 1641, as the Caroline Univ., but they were soon 
 divided again, and attempts to reunite them have 
 been made without success. The Port, which is a 
 bar harb. communicating with the Tnverury canal, 
 has been so much improved by Smeaton and Tel- 
 ford, at a cost of 140,OOOZ. that it contains 34 acres 
 (more than any other single dock), has 15 ft. 
 water, and 6000 ft. quay room (100 ft. broad), 
 inside a pier and a breakwater, 1200 and 800 ft.

 (62 being under 50 t. each), and 14 steamers of 
 3951 t. (4 under 50 t.) belonged to the port to 
 which Newburgh, Stonehaven and Peterhead are 
 sub-ports; and the tonnage Inwards and Out- 
 wards (including repeated voyages) was ' coast- 
 wise ' 1636 sail of 150,875, and 1032 of 8299 tons 
 (besides 280 steamers of 97,619, and 293 of

 dried Finnan haddocks, which are thought to lose 
 their flavour when sent away. Steamers or 
 packets run to Dundee, Leith, Hull, London, 
 Peterhead, Inverness, Lerwick, Wick, Kirkwall, 
 and about 20 coaches start on the various roads. 
 Stockings, mits, plaideens, etc., were made before 
 
 1651, and sent abroad ; and a branch bank was 
 tried about 1690, but did not stand. About 48 
 i m. of gaspipe is laid down, and artesian wells 
 i have been sunk with middling success ; " the 
 i Breviar}' of Aberd." was one of the earliest printed 
 ! Scottish books ; Bp. Forbes greatly promoted print- 
 I ing here 1621 ; Aberd. " Almanacks " which had a 
 j monopoly and cost a plack (J<f.) came out 1677 ; 
 j the ' Aberd. Journal' appeared 1746, and it now 
 ! publishes besides, the ' Herald,' Banner,' N. 
 j of Scotland Gazette,' and 'Scottish Farmer.' 
 Manganese, hornblende, titanium, beryl, etc. are 
 found near. The Reformation made "early pro- 
 gress, in spite of a strong feeling for episco- 
 pacy; but to this day it is the head quarters 
 of the episcopal and rom. cath. sects in this

 mountainous and barren, chiefly on mica slate 
 which is the prevailing rock in Appin and from 
 loch Awe southwards, and in the islands beyond, 
 except a mass of trap at loch Fyne, and the sand- 
 stone about Campbeltown, which has traces of coal ; 
 in Mull, Morrcn, and Ardnamurchan and Staffa 
 basalt predominates. The mountains round lochs 
 Awe, Lydoch, Levern, and Sunart, are chiefly

 good marble in Tirree and a little cobalt found 
 in Glenorchy. Manufactures are trifling, as coarse 
 woollens, etc. for home use ; but spirits are largely 
 distilled at Campbeltown and other places. 
 Climate wet ; soil mossy, with plots of good loam 
 in the valleys by the sea and sides of rivers ; chief 
 crops, oats and potatoes, the latter being tlio 
 staple food of the people who suffered in common 
 with Ireland by the late scarcity ; estimated stock 
 of cattle 65,000 of the black-faced Linton breed, 
 of which the rearing is the principal branch of 
 industry, and which are sold in the S. for fatten- 
 ing. Farm-buildings middling, but cottages of 
 the lowest class. Agriculture, though in a low 
 state, has received a great stimulus from the rapid 
 steam communication with the Lowland markets, 
 the making of roads, the incorporation of small 
 holdings, but accompanied by a decrease in the 
 pop. ; planting is carried out by the resident pro- 
 prietors, and with the natural woods about 40,000

 (called Water o'Ayr stones) abound. Copper 
 and lead are found, and the great coal district 
 of Scotland intersects the county, mines (2320 
 hands) being worked at Dairy, Kilwinning,

 clay, with about 12,000 acres of sand and loam 
 along the coast ; of the clay millions of tiles are 
 made, or, being mixed with lime and other ma- 
 nure, it is turned into rich mould, and thus, 
 assisted by tile-draining, which is now exten- 
 sively practised, many poor districts are rendered 
 highly productive, and a great improvement is 
 consequently taking place throughout the county ; 
 wheat, rarely grown till 1785, has become com- 
 mon ; barley, peas, beans, turnips, potatoes, are 
 also largely raised, but oats is the chief crop ; 
 the cattle are a short-horned cross-breed, excel- 
 lent for stalling or the dairies, which are famous 
 for their milk and the celebrated Dunlop cheese.

 tals and topazes, the carex phacostachya, and 
 other plants; Ben Rinnes, near Aberlour, is 2750; 
 Knockhill 1640. These tracts are chiefly grazing 
 for the old native cattle, the valleys being well 
 wooded and watered. Gneiss and mica slate, and 
 limestone abound ; marble is quarried at Portsoy, 
 where jasper is found, and from which a bed of 
 granite reaches to Huntly; old red sandstone 
 near Fochabers on the W., as well as about To- 
 mantoul ; and there are some good slate quarries, 
 near Banff and Keith. The manufactures are of 
 little consequence, and mostly for home consump- 
 tion ; but distilling is largely carried on in Glen- 
 livet and other parts. Rivers are, the Aven, 
 Dovern, Fiddick, and Spey ; and Loch Aven in 
 the Grampians is the only large lake. Salmon 
 fisheries in the Dovern and the Spey are worth 
 10,0007. a year ; and the herring fisheries on the 
 coasts employ upwards of 500 boats. Puffins are 
 caught at Crovie. Along the coast to the dis- 
 tance of 6 or 8 m. inland, the soil, chiefly loam 
 and sand, is well cultivated on the improved sys- 
 tem, set on foot by the late Lord Deskford and 
 others, by which large tracts have been reclaimed ; 
 chief crops, oats, wheat, barley, turnips, but from 
 the uncertainty of the climate, the harvest, espe- 
 cially in the hills, is often not gathered in till 
 winter ; in the lowlands, the Galloway, Aberdeen, 
 and Ayrshire breeds of cattle have been intro- 
 duced and the total stock is estimated at 25,000 ; 
 farms run from 100 to 200 acres ; leases, for 19 
 yrs., a few for life ; property is nearly all entailed, 
 chiefly in the hands of the Duke of Richmond 
 Gordon Castle, Earl of Fife Duff Ho., Earl of 
 Seafield Cullen Ho. Other families are W. Gor-

 edge which is known, in fine weather by the 
 ripplings, in rough weather by the discolouration, 
 of the water. The bottom is sandy and coarse, 
 without mud, except about 49 20', the parallel 
 for entering the Channel, where it is muddy. A 
 few smaller banks, as the Nymph, and others are 
 marked in the charts, but they scarcely alter the

 edge evenly up the British chan. and also up the

 to his child's cradle, and finding it overturned and 
 the ground streaming with gore, killed the dog 
 on the spot (still marked by a stone in the ch.- 
 yard) ; but soon discovered the child was safe 
 under the cradle, and by its side a dead wolf, 
 which his faithful dog had slain. To perpetuate 
 his memory and the child's escape, he founded the 
 abbey. Titanium is found, and in the neigh-

 2455, or 1 in 47, the av. being 46 ; ' marriages ' 
 971 (at church 882), of which 2181 persons or 
 65'8 per cent, signed with marks. Surface on the 
 N. and E. and in the fruitful vale of Bedford, ge- 
 nerally flat ; but on the SW. the chalk hills rise 
 to a considerable height, affording many fine 
 prospects as, at Ampthill, Woburn, and Mill- 
 brook which commands one of 50 m. extent. 
 The greater part is enclosed, and an improved 
 system of agriculture has been adopted through 
 the exertions of the late Duke of Bedford. Two- 
 thirds of the soil is clay, to be found in the N. 
 and also in the S. parts about Tuddington, Barton- 
 in-lhe-Clay, Shefford, to the borders of Camb. 
 This latter portion separates the green sand of the 
 central parts about Leighton-Buzzard, Woburn, 
 Ampthill, Bigglewade, Sandy-Potton, from chalk 
 downs in the extreme S., round Dunstable and 
 Luton, which are a continuation of the Chiltern 
 hills of Bucks. A rich gravelly loam is found by 
 the rivers, and good daiiy land in the SE. ; chief 
 crops are wheat, barley, and turnips (on the sand 
 and chalk), with oats and beans, the smell of 
 which, in Camden's time, sportsmen complained 
 of, as spoiling the scent of the dogs ; great quan- 
 tities of vegetables and butter are sent to mar- 
 ket ; stock of cattle (of a mixed breed), reck- 
 oned at 200,000, and the supply of wool at 4250 
 packs. The farms average under 200 acres, and 
 let yearly. Principal rivers are : the Ouse, which 
 crosses by a very winding course from Turvey to 
 St. Neot's, and is navigable below Bedford ; 'the 
 Ivel, and its branch, the Hiz (the former famous 
 for its gudgeon), being navigable by a cut from 
 Shefford to Tempsford, where it joins the Ouse ; 
 and the Ousel, which passes Leighton-Buzzard. 
 Fuller's earth, once found in Birchmoor wood, at 
 Aspley Guise, is now worked in a neighbouring 
 parish on the Bucks, side ; freestone is quarried 
 at Tattenhoe, and chalk, under the name of 
 clunch, is burnt for lime ; some of the earths have 
 a semi-petrifying quality, and abound with mi- 
 neral springs of no importance. At Pulloxhill, it 
 is said, a few gold grains were found at the begin- 
 ning of the 18th cent. Among the native plants 
 are : the anemone apennina, blue mountain ane- 
 mone, in Luton wood ; astragulus arenarius, purple 
 milk- wort, and gentiana amarella, fellwort, on the 
 Barton hills ; convallaria majalis, lily of the valley, 
 Woburn woods ; dianthus deltoides, maiden pink, 
 Sandy hills near Caesar's camp ; hippocrepis comosa, 
 tufted vetch, chalk hills ; pimpinella major, or great 
 saxifrage, limestone soil ; melampyrum cristatum, 
 crested cow- wheat, and ribes nigrum, black currant, 
 Blunham woods ; trifolium ochroleucum, yellow 
 trefoil, chalky meadows; monotropa hypopitys, 
 yellow bird's nest, smelling like primroses, and 
 white bastard hellebore, in the woods. The woad 
 (tsatis tinctoria), with which the ancient Britons 
 dyed themselves, once greatly cultivated here, is 
 not known now. The only manufactures peculiar 
 to the county are the pillow-lace in the N. parts 
 (employing 2602 hands), and strawplat in the 
 S. parts (1753 hands). Dunstable straws are as

 well-known as the Dunstable larks, and the Luton 
 plat is considered superior to Leghorn. Much 
 matting, made of the rushes of the " sedgy Ouse," 
 is sent to London. Chief seats are : Duke of Bed- 
 ford, Woburn Abbey ; Marq. of Bute, Luton Hoof

 (anct. Durocobrivd) ; Caesar's camp, near Sandy 
 or Salndy (^Salenae or Magiovinum) ; Ravensbury

 Arlesby, Biggleswade, and Bradford. Icknield St, 
 crosses near Leigh ton'Buzzard (or Beaudesert), on

 whence a roman way goes N. to Potton ; Watling 
 St. crosses at Market- Street, to Dunstable, 
 through Stretley, near which is a camp, on 
 to Fenny Stratford. An old cross stands at 
 Leighton-Buzzard ; a priory was founded by 
 Hen. 1. at Dunstable, which drew attention 
 for centuries to the town, whence the sen- 
 tence of divorce was pronounced by Cranmer, 
 against Q. Katherine who resided then at Ampt- 
 hill ; a fine church at Luton, and another at 
 Elstow, the birthplace of the immortal tinker, 
 Bunyan; besides various slight remains of castles. 
 Anne Boleyn, mother of Q. Elizabeth, was born at 
 Luton Hoo ; and Margaret Beaufort, mother of 
 Hen. VII., at Bletsoe. A branch rail, from the 
 Bletchley station of the N. Western to Bedford, 
 intersects part of Bucks, and the SW. quarter of

 Bedford Level (64-5, 69, 70) so called after 
 Francis, 5th Earl of Bedford, who began the drain- 
 age of it, is the large marshy flat or level known 
 as the Fens, on the NE. coast of England, near 
 the Wash* reaching inland to Downham market 
 on the Gt. Ouse, Norfk. Brandon on the Lit. 
 Ouse, and Mildenhall on R. Lark, Sufk. Isle of

 in a tract 25 m. by 20, divided into the N., Mid., 
 and S.-, Levels* and estimated at 400,000 acres, of 
 which about 9000 are in Peterboro' fen, 230,000 
 I. of Ely, 60,000 Hunts. 63,000 Norfk. 30,000 
 Sufk. When the Romans came to Britain, they 
 found, at a lower level than the present, a large 
 forest here, which they cut down, and made a 
 road across the country, to be seen at this day. 
 It was afterwards brought into such a state of 
 cultivation as to call forth the admiration of those 
 who saw it ; but about 1236, the sea broke through 
 the embankments, and turned the whole into a 
 bog and morass, in some places 20 ft. deep, across 
 which the people communicated by boat. After 
 several trials, the result of one of which was Bp. 
 Moreton's Cut, now part of R, Nen, made with little 
 success, a company for draining the fens, was 
 formed in the time of Ch. L, with the Earl of Bed- 
 ford at its head, which being incorporated 1664, 
 exists now. Under their management large cuts 
 such as the Old and New Bedford Rivers, Bevil's 
 River, Sam's Cut, Peakirk, South-eau, Sixteen- 
 Feet Counter, S. Holland, and N. Level Drains,
 
 BED 
 
 besides numerous small ones, have been made, 
 embankments repaired and improved, and great 
 tracts of pasture and cornland reclaimed. The 
 latest and most important work (1828-9) is the 
 New Outfall of 6 m. for improving the naviga- 
 tion past Wisbeach, at a cost of 200,0007. l^T S. 
 Old River, as above, one of the finest drains made 
 by the company, 70 ft. wide, 21 m. long, goes 
 from Earith, Comb, to Salter's Lode near Down- 
 ham, Norfk. The New B. River, cut about 1650 
 by William, 6th earl, is 100 ft. wide, and runs 
 parallel to the other, at about 1 m. distance.

 A line of chalk hills, which are a continuation of 
 the Chilterns, and called the Ridge way, runs E. 
 and W. through the broadest part of the county, 
 dividing the vale of Kennet from that of the 
 Thames or of the White Horse so named from 
 the figure of a horse cut on a hill-side (893 ft. 
 high), near Kingston Lisle, and celebrated for its 
 fertility. The ' white lauds ' in this quarter are a 
 gray chalk, mixed with clay, on a substratum of 
 blue limestone and oolite. Chief crops, oats, 
 wheat, barley, turnips, beans, with many arti- 
 ficial grasses ; but on the Thames, and to the W. 
 about Farringdon, the land is mostly pasture and 
 dairy land, and hence the single and double 
 Gloucester and Buscot pine-apple cheeses are sent 
 to market. The Downs' district, of which E. 
 Ilsley is the centre, are sheep-walks, for the 
 native, " Notts." and the South Down, Wiltshire, 
 and other breeds, with which they are mixed; 
 these are for the most part barren, but towards 
 the E. about Bassildon and Ashampstead it is all 
 lanes and woods, everywhere commanding beau- 
 tiful prospects. The vale of Kennet, which at 
 one time was part of Windsor forest, and still 
 contains much woodland, is as fruitful in grain as 
 that of the White Horse ; and the banks of the 
 rivers abound with mills for grinding the super- 
 abundant produce, much of which is also con- 
 verted into malt at Abingdon, Reading, Walling- 
 ford, etc. The soil here is a reddish gravelly 
 loam, in which peat, with many remains of bones, 
 is dug, as at Newbury and elsewhere, for ma- 
 nure and fuel. To the E. of this is the Forest 
 division, with a soil which is in general of a poor 
 quality, consisting of blue clay and gravel on a 
 chalky bottom (with some meadow land by the 
 Thames), and of brown or iron sand about Bag- 
 shot and Sandhurst. Windsor forest, the largest 
 in the county, and formerly much larger, contains 
 about 60,000 acres, the greater part now en- 
 closed ; one half is private property, 4400 belong 
 to the crown, and much of the rest is waste. Oak 
 and beech are the chief plantations ; osiers are 
 grown by the river sides for the basket-makers, 
 and " verdant alders " for brooms, rake-handles, 
 and the like. The neighbourhood of Farringdon 
 is famous for its hogs, which are some of the 
 finest in England, and are cured for bacon, being
 
 BER 
 
 fed on the refuse of the dairies : a choice mixed 
 breed exists at Sunninghill park. The cattle are 
 north country breeds, and the stock of sheep, for 
 the sale of which a large fair is held at S. llsley, 
 is estimated at 308,000, and the wool at 4500 
 packs. State of agriculture and the condition of 
 the farmer, middling ; leases run 7 or 14 yrs., 
 and the land is usually driven hard. Among the 
 native plants are caucalis daucoides, small bur- 
 parsley, in the corn-fields, and the rare orchis 
 militaris, or military orchis, on the Cawsham hills, 
 both near Reading ; convallaria multiflora, Solo- 
 mon's seal, near Newbury wash ; lathy rus palus- 
 tris, marsh vetehling, Abingdon wood ; tycoperdon 
 fornicatum, turret puff ball, Bucklebury meadows ; 
 monotropa hypopytys, or bird's nest, in the woods ; 
 myrica gak, sweet gale or dutch myrtle, Old Wind- 
 sor park ; salix rubra, green-leaved willow, among 
 the osiers below Maidenhead. Besides Windsor 
 Castle, the seat of Her Majesty the Q.neen, some 
 of the leading family seats are : Earl of Abing-

 Manufactures of this county are of no conse>- 
 quence, those of cloths, once of great extent, of 
 sacking, sail-cloth, and the like, having dwindled 
 to nothing ; a few paper-mills stand on R. Ken- 
 net, and the Windsor and Kennet ales are well 
 known. Fine trout, eels, etc. are caught in all the 
 streams. Of the antiquities and objects of interest 
 are Cole's pits, near Little Coxwell, 273 in no., 
 supposed to be a british town ; Sinodun or Willen- 
 ham camp ; Letcombe and Uffingham castles or 
 camps, one near the White Horse, as are Dragon 
 hill barrow, Wayland Smith's tumulus, which 
 Scott has celebrated in ' Kenilworth,' a curious

 Danes. Bray, whose versatile vicar has become 
 a proverb, is supposed to be the ancient Bibracte ; 
 Speen is Spinte, near Newbury, i. e. the new fort, 
 which succeeded the old one; Wallingford or 
 Reading, or perhaps Silchester, is the Calleva At-

 of other roads are seen. Of the religious houses 
 there were abbeys at Abingdon, Bisham, Brad-

 tended by about 6300 children ; av. no. of offenders 
 ('36-'46) 35, but in '48, it was 110. The Lam- 
 rnermuir district, formed by a range of old slaty 
 rocks of the Silurian formation, with trap peaks 
 here and there, divides the county on the N. from 
 the Lothians, and at one period was covered with 
 forest, but is now bleak and moory, with a peat 
 soil, upon which the hardy black-faced sheep find 
 pasture; it is not destitute of many cultivated 
 patches in the valleys. The principal heights on 
 the NW. are Crib law 1615 ft. (the highest of the 
 range) ; Lammer law, which gives name to the 
 whole 1500 ft. ; on the W. overlooking Lauderdale 
 and the Lauder haughs and Yarrow, are Clint's hill 
 1544 ft., Airhouse law 1054 ft., Tippet knows 1323, 
 Boon hill 1090 ; to the N. Manslaughter law 1273 ; 
 to the NE. Cockburnspath law 912, and St. Abb's 
 Head 300, at the end of the range on the coast 
 which is further interesting as showing, at Siccar 
 point, the change from the secondary to the pri- 
 mary formation. Other heights on the SW. are 
 Earlston hill 1200, the broomy " Cowdenknowes " 
 1000, and Bemerside hill 1011 ; and in the centre, 
 Dirrington great law 1145, Laughton Edge 900, 
 Kyleshill of porphyry 1110, and Dunse law 630, 
 commanding a fine view of the Merse, of which 
 there is also a rich prospect from Chirnside hill. 
 The Kaimes and Herrit's dyke in Greenlaw par., 
 which are gravelly ridges of some extent, have 
 been supposed to be british works, but most pro- 
 bably are natural elevations. Freestone, lime- 
 stone, and whinstone abound ; red sandstone is 
 quarried at Edrom, Nenthom, Mertoun, Swinton, 
 and Hutton; good gypsum at Chirnside and 
 Greenlaw; ironstone near beds of poor coal at 
 Ayton, Corkburnspath, and Mordington ; slate at 
 Lauder (with traces of copper) and at Bunkle ; 
 good lapidary stones are found in the Tweed, 
 and pure quicksilver has been discovered at 
 Hidehill. There are two small lochs at Dunse 
 and Coldingham pars. ; the salmon and trout 
 fisheries in the streams, though not so plentiful 
 as formerly, are still valuable, and the deep sea 
 fisheries at Eyemouth and Burnmouth yield abun- 
 dance for consumption and importation to the S. 
 The manufactures are unimportant, those for 
 cotton and linen employing 208 persons, besides 
 61 returned as spinners and weavers ; there is a 
 woollen factory at Mellerstain in Earlstoun (47 
 hands in 1847), but the papermill at Edrom is 
 gone. Mineral waters are found at Chirnside 
 and Dunse. Between the Tweed and the foot 
 of Lammermuir is a strip from 8 m. long to 
 10 broad, called the Merse (i. e. march or border, 
 or else, according to Chalmers, the marsh or 
 flat), consisting of upwards of 100,000 acres, 
 for the most part nearly level, of good fertile
 
 BEB 
 
 clay soil, with valuable beds of shell marl for 
 manure, on a substratum of limestone, coal, and 
 old red sandstone, well and systematically culti- 
 vated. Chief crops, wheat and turnips, with 
 barley, oats, beans, etc. Waste land is in course 
 of being reclaimed, by draining and otherwise, to 
 which end there are large tile-works at Swinton, 
 Hutton, and Eccles (which is celebrated for the 
 luxuriance of its crops). Farms large, and the 
 farmers, whom Lord Kaimes abused as " born and 
 living in mud, and having muddy heads," intel- 
 ligent and enterprising. Stock of sheep about 
 115,000, chiefly long-woolled in the Merse and 
 Cheviots, mixed with the native breed on the up- 
 lands. Principal families and seats are : Earl of 
 Lauderdale Thirlstane Castle, Earl of Home The 
 Hirsel, Marq. of Breadalbane Lane/town, Earl of 
 Haddington Lennel Ho., Earl Buchan Dryburgh 
 Ab., Earl Wemyss The Retreat, Ld. Blantyre 
 Wedderlie, Ld. Polwarth Mertoun Ho., Ld. Sinclair 
 Nisbet, Campbell Bt. Marchmount (the ancient 
 seat of the Morvilles), Don Bt. Newton Don, 
 Hall Bt. Douglas, Hay Bt. Ather stone, Baillie 
 of Jerviswood, Hay of Dunse or Drummehier, 
 the Homes of Wedderliwrn. of Paxton, and Bas- 
 tendean, Haig of Bemersyde, Ker of Morristoun, 
 Maitland of Manderstone, Renton of Lamerton, 
 Roy of Nenthorn, Shillinglaw of Birkhillside, 
 Spottiswoode of Spottiswoode, Swinton of Swin- 
 ton, Wilson of IVTiitsome Hill. The Berwicksh. 
 hounds hunt round Dunse, etc. The history of the 
 county must be read in the history of the Gos- 
 patiicks, Homes, Hepburns, and Douglases, and 
 in the border and national contests which took 
 place between the two kingdoms before the Union. 
 Among the antiquities and objects of interest are 
 the british camps at Habchester in Mornington 
 par., Wardlaw hill in Coldingham, and in Leger- 
 wood ; british and roman remains in Cockburns- 
 path ; roman camp at Chesters in Togo, on 
 Battleknowes in Whitsome, roman and pictish 
 camps at Channelkirk, many pictish camps in 
 Lauder, danish camps on Raeclugh in Langton ; 
 a curious building, called Edwin's or Woden's 
 hall, in Dunse, and Deadrig cairn or obelisk in 
 Eccles. Remains exist at Coldingham tower com- 
 manding the pass to the N., and the Priory, 
 founded by Edgar, the bell of which was carried 
 to Lincoln ; Fast castle, on the coast, the Wolfs 
 crag of the " Bride of Lammermoor" ; Cranshaw 
 castle, built by the Douglases, and said to be the 
 original of Ravenswood ; Dunse castle, belonging 
 to the Morays ; Eccles nunnery, built by the Earls 
 of Dunbar, near Leetholme peel or border tower ; 
 Eyemouth fort, built by the protector Somerset ; 
 Hume castle, built by the Homes on Lurgie 
 craigs, a basalt rock 898 ft. high, and Dunglas 
 castle, also built by the Homes, on the Haddington 
 border ; Hutton hall or border tower ; Horndean 
 hosp. founded by Dav. I. ; Morriston tower and 
 peel houses, in Legerwood ; Dryburgh Abbey, on 
 the Tweed near Melrose ; Evelan peel, in West- 
 ruther; Edrington cast, in Mordington. There 
 are no vestiges of Ayton cast, nor of the priory at 
 Coldstream, the spot where the "Coldstream 
 guards" were first raised by Monk, and the old 
 rival to Gretna Green for runaway matches. Two 
 old churches stand at Auld Cambus and Pol- 
 warth. On the top of Dunse law, a flat of 30 
 acres, the Covenanters under Leslie were en- 
 camped. Pease bridge is, near the coast, remark- 
 able for its elevated place over a pass; from 
 Gordon par. and the vil. of Huntley, which stood 
 here, the Gordons took their titles ; and on Lauder 
 bridge the favourites of Jas. III. were murdered 
 by Angus and other conspirators. The celebrated

 the Hawick line from Edinbro'. 
 
 #* P.M. BERWICK-ON-TVVEED ( ) in Island- 
 shire or N, Durham, locally in N. Northmbrld. 
 (with which it is reckoned, and for which it is a 
 polling place), 334 m. from London, or 369 by 
 rail., and 58 from Edinbro', the frontier town of 
 England and Scotland (though joined to Engld. in 
 all proclamations), a garrison, coast gd. station, and 
 port on the sea at the Tweed's mouth, on the Ber- 
 wcksh. side of the river, was founded by the saxon 
 kings of Northumbria (whose territory reached to 
 the Forth), and taken by Gregory of Scotld. 880 ; 
 given 1020 by the Cospatricks to Mai. IV., who 
 did homage to the Conqueror here 1070 ; taken 
 1174 from the Scots by Hen. II., and restored to 
 them by Rich. I. ; settled by the Flemings (who 
 had the ' Red Hall,' on condition of defending the 
 town against the English) ; taken 1272 by Edw. 
 I., who crowned Baliol in the castle 1292, and 
 again 1295 by assault, when he made it his ca- 
 pital of Scotld. ; retaken by the Scots 1297 (under 
 Wallace, whose limbs were exposed here 1305), 
 and again under Bruce 1318 ; taken 1333, after 
 Hallidon Hill, by Edw. III., who was here '35 
 and 40, and '55, after its surprise by the Scots, 
 seven of whom again surprised it 1377 ; recovered 
 by the Percys, and on their rebellion taken by 
 Hen. IV., the garrison being frightened by the 
 effects of the first cannon fired in Engld. ; at- 
 tempted 1422 by the Scots, to whom it was given 
 1461, by Marg. of Anjou, who landed here 
 1463, before the battle of Hexham ; finally ceded 
 to Rich. Duke of Gloucester 1482, and made in- 
 dependent of both countries 1551 ; visited by 
 Jas. I. 1603, on his way to Engld., by Ch. I. 
 1633 and '39 ; and taken by Cromwell 1648 ; 
 returns two members to parl. (since Hen. VIII. 
 before which it sent one to the Scottish burgh 
 court), the bounds including the par. with 
 Tweedmo' and Spittal, no. of electors 888 (and

 difficult from a shifting bar, has good anchorage 
 within, near Carr rock off Spittal, and is defended 
 by a pier and slip of 800 yds. (b. 1810, for 40,0007.),

 the county S. of the Usk to Crickhowell, and 
 thence into Herefd. and Monmo', of which the 
 highest points are the Bannau Brecheinog 2862 ft., 
 Mt. Capellante 2394, Trecastle ban 2596, Pen 
 Cader fawr, near Talgarth forest, 2545. This 
 ridge determines the course of the numerous 
 streams which rise in it, some to the Taf and 
 Taw, which have their sources here, others to R. 
 Usk. N. of this the Eppynt hills stretch over tff 
 Builth, having R. Irvon beneath, beyond which, 
 in a district of barren slaty hills, is Grubarn 
 2071 ft. ; all, however bare, serve as pasture for 
 the small mountain sheep. Sufficient grain, crops, 
 and potatoes are raised for home consumption. 
 In the valleys towards Hereford hops are culti- 
 vated, and some orchards are seen ; farm build- 
 ings unusually good and comfortable ; leases are 
 various. The native breed of small black cattle 
 is mixed with the Hereford white-faced, the Suf- 
 folk punch, and other varieties. Coal is found on 
 the S. border, to which the great S. Wales coal- 
 field extends, and limestone on theW., that at 
 Abercynfig makes a good cement; but iron is 
 the chief produce, the largest works being at 
 Beaufort, Clydach, Romney, and Ynyscederin. 
 Traces of copper, lead, and tripoli are discovered. 
 Excellent fire clay is quarried at Penderyn. Pen- 
 nant stone is used for roofing, and chert for mill- 
 stones and hearths. Leather and a few woollens 
 (which in '49 employed 81 hands in factories) 
 are manufactured for the eng. market. Pike and 
 perch are found in Llynsafeddan lake (which is 
 the largest piece of water) and trout in the 
 streams. At Llanwrtvd on R. Irvon is a whole-

 some mineral water. The Mellte is remarkable for 
 flowing about 900yds. through the Forth Ogov 
 cave, and then down a fall of 40 ft., near which is 
 the Gil Hepste fall on K. Hepste ; there are two 
 other falls of some interest, the Scwd Einon 
 Gam on R. Pryddain, at a pretty spot called Pont - 
 neath Vaughan, and Scwd Yr Hen Rhyd on R. 
 Llech, near Ystradgynlais. Among the antiqui- 
 ties are the Ty Illteyd cromlech ; british camps at 
 Penmyarth, Lamhamlwch, Alltfillo, Benni Wood, 
 Pen-y-Crug, Cefh-y-Gaer, the last three near 
 Brecon; two large roman camps one, the Caer 
 Bannau, the chief station near Aberescir and the 
 Maid's Stone, the other called Caer or Gaer, 
 near Cwm Dhu both being on the Via Julia 
 Montana, which went E. through Abergavenny 
 and Caerleon to Bath, and W. through Maridu- 
 num to Neath, where it met the Via Julia Marl- 
 tima on the coast ; two vicinal or cross roads from 
 Caer Bannau (joining the Montana and Mari- 
 tima), the Sam Hir through Bryn Oer to Cardiff, 
 and the Sarn Helen past Ystradvelte and Llia's 
 stone to Neath a continuation of these is 
 thought to have gone by Cym on the Irthon to 
 Chester; remains of old castles at Cart-y-Carw 
 near Brecon, Crag Hywell or Crickhowell, Tre'r

 Gwernyfed, Macnamara of Llangoed Cast., Price 
 of Castell Madoc, Gough of Yniscedwin, Williams 
 of Abercamlais, Williams of Penpont, Watkins of 
 Pennoyre. At Builth the last Llewellyn was 
 killed. Petyn Gwyn was the residence of Sir 
 David Gam ; Trevecca the birthplace of Howel 
 Harris; and Ap-Henry, the author of Marton 
 Mar-Prelate, was a native of the county. The 
 Normans first settled here 1088 under Bernard 
 Newmarsh, who defeated the last prince, Rhys 
 ap Teudwr, at Battle, since which the history of 
 the county is the history of the possessors of the 
 lordship, a district appended to the castle, com- 
 prising nearly all Merthyr hund., Llywel (N. of 
 Usk) and Llanspyddid, St. David and Cantrev to 
 R. Cynrig, with Devynock forest, all now held by 
 the Morgans under a crown lease. Brecon Canal, 
 made 1811, is 33 rn. long, falls. 68 ft. with 8 locks 
 down R. Usk for 18J m. to Clydach, past Aber- 
 gavenny, thence on a level to the Monmouth 
 canal at Pont-y-Pool. Railways run from this 
 canal to the Tredegar, Beaufort, and other works ; 
 another rail, runs from Glan-Usk above Brecon 
 on R. Usk near Mt. Capellante to the Swansea 
 canal near Ystradynglais ; a third, made 1812,

 the time and height considerably. On some oc- 
 casions it is 50 ft. here, and 60 at Chepstow, and 
 all the narrow parts of this channel are liable to 
 be visited with a bore, when the tide suddenly 
 rolls in fathoms deep, doing great damage if ships 
 are un prepared.

 BRITAIN, the general name of these islands, 
 comes, as Camden thinks, from the Greek Bri- 
 tania, a word made from a foreign one, brit or 
 brith signifying painted, and the common ending 
 tania, as in Lusitania, Aquitania. Ptolemy, 
 speaking of them, calls Ireland little, and this 
 great ; from which the name of Great Britain, 
 as applied to the larger, seems to have descended 
 to us. At first the Romans made only two di- 
 visions of Britain or BRITANNIA: B. Superior, 
 the part nearer Rome as far as the Trent, or the 
 Mersey and Don ; B. Inferior, the rest. A little 
 after, it was divided into three parts, correspond- 
 ing with the three archdioceses of London, Caer- 
 leon, and York ; B. Prima, the first or nearest 
 to Rome, as far as the Mersey and Don, the 
 Severn and Dee, B. Secunda, all Wales beyond 
 the two latter, Maxima Ctesariensis, beyond the 
 two former. Later still it was divided into B. 
 PRIMA, south of the Thames, including the Can- 
 tii, Belga, Damnonii, Bibrocii (or Reoni or Rfiemi), 
 Segontiaci, Hedui, Atrebatii (or Ancalites), Dvro-

 N. Carnrvn. begun 1846 and now building by 
 Stephenson on the Holyhead rail, over Menai 
 Strait, S. of Telford's suspension br., consists of 
 two enormous tubular ways or covered troughs, 
 side by side, 104 ft. above high tide, made of 
 wrought-iron plates (each 12 to 6^ ft. long, 2 
 to 1$ ft. wide, 3 to 7-16ths. in. thick) rivetted 
 together, and resting on three great piers in the 
 water, each 62 ft. by 52 at the base, viz. : the 
 Carnrvn. pier and abutment ; the Britannia or 
 middle pier (on B. Rock), 230 ft. high ; and the 
 Anglesea pier, 196 ft. high (127 at the roadway), 
 next which the Angl. abutment is 143J ft. 
 high. Total length 1833 ft. including 230 ft. 
 from the land (173 from the abutment) to the 
 1st pier and 32 thro' it, 460 to the middle pier 
 and 45 thro' it, 460 to the next and 32 thro' it, 
 and 230 to the land. Each great tube is in the 
 whole 1513 ft. long, 5000 tons wt., and 14 ft. 
 wide by 18 high, inside ; outside, the height is 
 22| at the ends, increasing to 30 ft. in the middle, 
 on account of the strain; to correct which 
 also, smaller tubes run along the top and bottom. 
 Allowance is made for a change of temp, which 
 causes a difference of 12 in. in the length between 
 winter and summer. One great tube, on which 
 1500 men were employed rivetting, etc. for months 
 together, was, 19 June 1849, floated out on pon- 
 toons, and between 10 Aug. and 12 Oct. raised to 
 its place by an hydraulic press 6 ft. per day (the 
 brickwork being built up underneath as it pro- 
 ceeded), without accident, except the bursting of 
 one of the presses, which exert a force of 800 to 
 900 ft. per inch ; and the first train went thro' 
 one side 5 Mar. 1850. Four carved lions, by J. 
 Thomas, at the ends, are each 25^ ft. long by 
 18J ft. high, and 80 tons wt. The cost is about 
 600,000/. ; and the total materials are calculated 
 at 14,000,000 cubic ft. of stone (chiefly 4ngles.\ime- 
 stone), 450,000 cub. ft. of timber, and 11,400 tons 
 of iron (including 2 millions of rivets), or about 
 14 times more iron than Telford's. The strait be- 
 tween the cliffs is about 1100ft. broad; the tide 
 rises 20 ft., and runs sometimes 8 m. an hour. A 
 pillar in Llanvair ch.yard was raised by the men 
 to the memory of some who were killed by accident 
 in the course of the works.

 amounting to 200 ; he had a mint and a gallows 
 in the town of which he was the chief magistrate, 
 with a jurisdiction over the entire liberty, the 
 royalties of which, together with 53 knights' fees

 lued at 23377., equivalent to about 50,0007. in

 mated at 140,0007. It was for a time the resi-

 range, rising 1221 ft. at one point, with granite 
 towards the Ord, thence along the W. border 
 granite and gneiss are found ; the rest of the 
 county is bare moorland, with a few stunted 
 trees, a clay and marly soil for the, most part, but 
 sandy to N E. ; the whole lying on a substratum 
 of old red sandstone, which occupies 4-5ths of the 
 county, and extends to the Orkny. and Shetld. 
 islds. Spittal hill is the highest point here, having 
 a wide range of view, and under it a hosp. found, 
 by St. Magnus. Cultivation backward, but great 
 improvements have taken place ; chief crops, oats, 
 beans, potatoes, turnips, the climate being too 
 wet for much wheat ; flax is also grown. The small 
 black cattle and sheep are now crossed with Argyll 
 and Cheviot breeds, and wool is exported ; there are 
 many swine, and small horses are Drought from the 
 islds. Estate large ; farmers along shore, half fish- 
 ermen. Peat is abundant and well stocked with 
 moorwood ; some bituminous coal is found at Ca- 
 nis-bay. Traces of lead, iron, and copper are seen, 
 and building and mill stones, granite, and slate, are 
 quarried at Castletown. Reay, Thurso, Wick, and 
 Berridale Waters, are the principal streams, and 
 produce plenty of salmon. Cod, ling, and other 
 fish, are caught, but chiefly herrings, the seat 
 of which is Wick, where 1500 to 2000 boats as- 
 semble in summer. The largest lakes are Wattin 
 (which has an old fort near it) and Cathel, each 
 3 m. by 2 ; in Halkirk par. are 24, all stocked 
 with eels and trout. Swans visit those in the N. 
 in their way to the Orkneys ; and there are many 
 chalybeate springs at Halkirk, etc. Among the 
 antiquities are numerous remains of Picts' houses 
 or danish camps, especially at Halkirk ; circles at 
 Steinster loch, and Bower ; several castles, as (be- 
 sides those above) Barrowgill, Braal (the Harolds, 
 earls of (7.), Dirlet (the Sutherlands), Sinclair 
 and Achaistal (the Sinclaire), Lochmore (Ronald 
 Cheyne's hunting-seat), and Achnarvon. At 
 Achachoal, near Spittal hill, the people met

 the Chiltern range, run across the S. corner, from 
 Royston to Newmarket heath, the highest point 
 being Gogmagog, near Cambridge ; clunch, of 
 which Ely cathedral is partly built, appears 
 about Burwell; a strip of blue clay or gault, 
 with iron sand, passes down the basin of the Cam 
 to Ely, where it rises into a moderate swell, on 
 which the city stands, and is there used for 
 white bricks and earthenware; another strip of 
 Portland oolite lies between this one and the 
 Bedford cuts. All the rest, indeed from Cam- 
 bridge northwards, is one dead flat of fenny land, 
 forming the S. part of the Gt. Bedford Level 
 intersected by numberless canals and ditches 
 (partly navigable) for draining, with steam-en- 
 gines and windmills for lifting the water, and osier 
 beds and lines of dwarf willows to complete the 
 prospect. Wheat, beans, turnips, and sanfoin 
 are grown on the uplands, where the soil is a 
 mixture of chalk, clay, loam, gravel, while the 
 rich, black, spongy soil of the fens, when once re- 
 claimed, is usually sown with cole seed, to be 
 eaten off by sheep, and then, besides turf for fuel, 
 produces very heavy crops of wheat, barley, oats 
 (which was the prevailing corn before the land 
 was improved), potatoes, and hay. Hemp and 
 flax are raised about Wisbeach, Upwell, etc., and 
 saffron is grown at Cherry Hinton, which takes 
 its name from that fruit having been grown there 
 once. The dairy lands in the middle are famous
 
 CAM 
 
 for Cambridge butter; and fine cream cheese is 
 made at Cottenham and Soham. Great numbers 
 of cart-horses, cattle, pigeons, and long-woolled 
 sheep are bred in the fens, which abound with 
 wild fowl ; short woolled sheep are pastured on 
 the heaths to the SE. The farms are mostly 
 small and held at will, but some at 4 or 5 yrs. 
 lease; farm buildings middling. The only ma- 
 nufactures are baskets and matting from reeds. 
 Native plants are very numerous, among which 
 are varieties of toadflax, chickweed, maidenhair, 
 bellflower, carex, sunflower, clematis (at Cherry 
 Hinton), heath, ladies' bed-straw, gentian (Ch. 
 Hinton), hypnum, vetch, flax (Ch. Hinton), 
 mint, dutch myrtle (Ely fens) water-lily, orchis, 
 marjoram, saxifrage, crowfoot, woad or dyers' weed 
 (Ch. Hiuton), sweet briar (Gogmagog hills),

 at Stratton Beds. The Icknield St. went across 
 from Newmarket to Royston, where the Ermine 
 St. crossed to Godmanchester ; remains of the Via 
 Devana are seen between Balsham and Cam- 
 bridge, where another way crossed from Ely into 
 Beds. ; the Soham causeway was part of the 
 great road through the fens into Lincoln, Traces 
 of british earthworks are found at the Devil's 
 Ditch, near Newmarket racecourse, which was the 
 boundary of E. Anglia and Mercia, and at Fleam 
 Dyke not far from it, near Balsham ; and coins, 
 urns, and other roman antiques have been turned 
 up at Arbury, near Cambridge (the only station, see 
 below), at Vandlebury camp on Gogmagog hill 
 (so called from the Vandals whom Probus brought 
 over), Chatteris, Ely, March, Soham, Wilney, and 
 other places. Of the 36 religious houses, including 
 4 abbeys and 11 priories, besides 9 hospitals, 
 founded here, there are remains of Thorney and 
 Denny abbeys, and Isleham and Barham priories. 
 Downham was an old seat of the bishops. Spe- 
 cimens of saxon or norman styles are to be seen 
 at Ely Cathedral, Duxford, Ickleton, Stuntney, 
 many other churches having norman doorways ; 
 of later styles at Ely, especially the beautiful 
 Lady Chapel, at Sutton, a very regular example, 
 the Sepulchre church and the glorious chapel of 
 King's Coll. Cambridge, and Swaffham. Jso re- 
 mains are found of y castles, except the gate of 
 that at Cambridge ; Catledge or Kirtling hall is 
 an ancient seat of the Norths ; Balsham was the 
 residence of Sutton, who bought the old scat of 
 the De Veres at Castle camps to give to the 
 Charter House, Stuntney of Cromwell before he 
 got into parl. ; and at Spinney his son Richard 
 received Ch. II. after the Restoration. At the Con- 
 quest the I. of Ely became remarkable for the yrs. 
 defence made by Hereward and others aic:iiu*t 
 William; it was afterwards fortified by Hen. III.'s 
 rebellious barons, and by Cromwell against Ch. I.

 births, deaths, etc., see S. Wales. The Aeron 
 divides the county into ' Upper,' lying to the X. 
 and E., which is uniformly hilly or mountainous, 
 and ' Lower ' to the SW., which is flatter ; the 
 shore being flat and sandy. Plinlimmon on the 
 Montgnmry. border is 2463 ft. high ; Tregaron 
 Down 1747, whence the Cors Goch bog extends 
 5 m. along the Teifi ; other heights are Talsarn 
 1143, and Capel Cynon 1046. Llynn Teifi, at the 
 head of that river in some of the highest ground, 
 is the largest lake ; near it are Llynns Gynon, 
 Egnant, Kuddon Vawr, and others. Shale and 
 slate (used for roofs, and floors) with some gray 
 mountain stone, form the substratum ; having a 
 clay and peat surface in the uplands, which are 
 bare and uninclosed. but good mould by the 
 rivers in valleys, some of which, as the Teifi, 
 Ystwith, Aeron, and others, are well cultivated. 
 Chief crops are barley and black oats of which 
 the bread is made, with wheat, rye, peas, beans, 
 potatoes, and a few turnips. Limestone is brought 
 all the way from Pembroke, and much seaweed 
 found on the shore. Agriculture is backward, 
 the ploughs, harrows, etc. being very clumsy. 
 Farms run to about 150 acres, and farm-buildings 
 are slowly improving, but the cottages are mise- 
 rable. Hogs are reared, and butter made for 
 the market, the cattle being a small but hardy 
 black breed ; it is noted for the small welsh mut- 
 ton, with hind quarters weighing only 8 or 10 lb., 
 and a fleece of about 2 lb. Besides the native 
 trees, oak, ash, and alder, large plantations of 
 larch have been made in some parts ; stockings 
 and flannels are manufactured (47 persons were em- 
 ployed in the woollen factories 1847), and hats for 
 exportation to the rest of Wales. Trout and eels are 
 caught in the lakes, herrings alongshore, and seivin 
 (a small choice fish) and salmon at the Cennarth 
 falls in the Teifi, where the ancient corwg, or 
 coracle boats, weighing only 40 to 50 lb., are still 
 used. The beaver, noticed in Ilowel Dha's code,

 and by Giraldus, has been long extinct. Euph->r- 
 bia peplis sea sponge, and statice armeria s".-i 
 gillyflower, are found near Aberystwith. Gray 
 mountain stone is quarried for buildings, tombs, 
 rollers, roads, at Llanwenog, Penbryn, Aberyst- 
 with ; slate at Ynis Hir. Few of the mines which 
 were worked by the Mines Royal and other com- 
 panies, from 1563, and were very productive, are 
 now in operation; they employ 774 persons, 
 of whom 545 were lead miners, chiefly at Cwm 
 Ystwith. Quartz, blacK jack or zinc, and silver, 
 were found ; the lead yielding from 35 to 40 oz. 
 of silver to the ton; Llanfair mine gave as 
 much as 100 oz. Cwm Symlog was that which 
 brought Sir H. Myddleton his large fortune ; 
 Bushel, in Ch. I.'s time, coined the produce of his 
 mines at Aberyswith, and the Pryses had a rich 
 one at Esgair Hir, discovered 1690. Principal 
 rivers are, Teifi (Turobius of Ptolemy, navigable 
 to Llechryd, where were some tinplate works), 
 Ystwith (anct. Stuccia), Rheidol which is joined 
 by the Mynach at the Devil's Bridge, Dovey, Cla- 
 rach, Leri, Towy (only the head of it) , Gwyrai, 
 Arth, Aeron, Camddwr. Of the antiquities 
 there are, druidical, at Yspttj' Cynvyn, Car- 
 rog near Llanllwchairn, Alltgoch near Lampeter, 
 etc. ; roman at Llauio (anct. Loventiwn) on the 
 Sarn Helen or Lleon, i. e. the ' Legion way,' 
 which went thence to Penalt and Carnarvon ; 
 british at Llandysilio-Gogo, Llanvihangel Pen- 
 bryn, Blaenporth, Lampeter, Llanvihangel Is- 
 trad, Kellan, Mynydd-Trichrog. Of five reli- 
 gious houses there are remains at Ystrad flur, or 
 Strata florida, on the roman way; at Llandwi- 
 Brefi St. David held the synod for suppressing 
 the Pelagian heresy. Castle ruins at Aberyst- 
 with, Cardigan, Castel Gwalter, Ystrad Meirig,

 Moel Ifor was an old seat of the Gwyns. H. 
 Llwyd, the great antiquary, was born at Glan- 
 fraed ; Dafydd ab Gwilym, the bard, at Llanba- 
 darn fawr. At Lampeter is St. David's college 
 for clerical students, and off Aberystwith a great 
 bank marks the Gwaelod hund., which was 
 swallowed by the sea. Under native rule this 
 county was part of the kingdom of Dinevor ; the 
 Danes harassed it 987 and 1071 ; in 1092 the 
 Normans first overran it, but were driven out by 
 Cadwgan 1097. Hen. I. granted it to the Strong"- 
 bows, and Hen. II. restored it to prince Rhys ; 
 Llewlyn ap Jorwerth took it 1215, and, on the 
 overthrow of Llewlyn ap Gruffydd, Edw. I. joined 
 it to England 1284. Roads: 1. Cardigan to

 1507. , Incumbent of St. Cuthbert's. The CatJie- 
 dnif, found, as a priory, cf which the gateway 
 remains, by Walter the Norman, and endowed bv 
 Hen. I. 1011, is cruciform, with the loss of the 
 W. half of the nave, which was pulled down in 
 the civil war, as were the chapterhouse and clois- 
 ters ; what is left is used as a church, and has the 
 thick columns and round arches of the norman 
 style ; the choir is early and decorated eng., and 
 contains an E. window 48 ft. by 30, which Rick- 
 man thinks exceeds in beauty the W. window of 
 York, also a fine brass of Bp. Robinson (1C 1C), 
 a native, with mons. of Bps. Barrow, Bell (triple 
 canopied brass 1496), Henry, and of Edw. Law, 
 Paley, and Anderson the Cumberland poet. Size 
 of choir 137ft. by 71, and 75 ft, high; transept 
 124 by 28 ; embatded tower 130ft. high. Within 
 the precincts are Priest Senhouse's Deanery (1507), 
 with emblazoned oak ceiling ; the fratry, or re- 
 fectory, now the chapter-house, where Edw. I. held 
 a parl. on his return from Scotland (1307) with 
 stone confessional chair. Within the castle, which 
 has been restored, and like the cathedral forms one 
 of the most conspicuous objects here (for which 
 it was used as a beacon in the forays), are the 
 old keep or armory built by Rufus, and the bar- 
 racks ; the tower where Mary Q. of Scots was 
 confined is pulled down. In 1546, Scott of Buc- 
 cleugh rescued ' Kinmont Willie ' from this for- 
 tress, as told in the 'Border Minstrelsy.' The 
 site of St. Nicholas's leper hosp. which was given 
 to the chapter, is now crossed by the Newcastle 
 rail., but part of the town walls, supposed to have 
 been first built by the Romans, and restored by 
 K. David, remain. Roman coins, altars, inscrip- 
 tions, brass incense vases, etc. have been found ; 
 and roads went to Penrith and Lancaster, to Old 
 Carlisle and Ellenborough, and toLongtown. An 
 earthquake which reached to Newcasle and Glas- 
 gow was felt here 1786. It is considered healthy, 
 and the " Carlisle Tables " in use at many life 
 assurance offices, published by Milne, and founded 
 on the rate of mortality given by Dr. Heysham, 
 1779-87, are nearer the average, and therefore 
 more equitable, than any others. The ' C. harriers ' 
 hunt round here ; it supports the ' C. Journal,' and 
 ' C. Patriot ' newspapers, and gives title of Earl 
 to the Howards of Naworth. Cooly Castle, H. 
 Howard, Esq. ; Kickerby, Capt. Graham. A rail. 
 70 m. long joins the place to Lancaster, in con- 
 junction with the Caledonian rail. ; another of 62 
 m. joins it to Newcastle, in conjunction with a 
 third one of 28 m. to Maryport, etc. ; the ship canal 
 made 1819, runs from the basin 10^ in. to Bowness, 
 on Solway Frith (whence a steamer plies to Liver- 
 pool), rising 70 ft. with 9 locks, and admitting 
 small craft. In 1846, 43 sail of 2942 tons (14 
 being above 50 t. each), and 3 steamers of 607 t. 
 belonged to the port, which has Allonby and Port 
 Carlisle for sub-ports ; and the tonnage Inwards 
 and Outwards, including repeated voyages, was 
 ' coastwise,' 235 of 9405, and 730 of 32,542 tons 
 (besides 148 steamers of 38,471, and 145 of 
 37,919 1.), from and to ' colonies ' 17 of 3299, and

 A range of l>!eak hills divides R. Cothi from the 
 Teifi, the highest point (1168 ft.) being near 
 New Inn ; another range to the SE., beginning at 
 Myndd Mawr with, Llyn Tegwyn on top, divides 
 the Towy from the Laughame, rising into the 
 Ulack mountains on the E. border, where the 
 Ban Sir Gaer, or C. Beacon, is 2596 ft high. Be- 
 tween these lies the valley, or Ystrad, of the 
 Towy, most part of which to N. and W. belongs 
 to the Silurian or slate system ; E. of it and 
 across its mouth is a strip of old red sandstone ; 
 next to this, another of carboniferous lime and 
 grit stone edges the great Glamorgan coal basin, 
 which stretches beyond Kid welly. Climate mild, 
 but rainy ; with a good soil about the Towy, but 
 poor and clayey in the uplands, where peat is the 
 only fuel. Oats are the chief crop for bread and 
 exportation ; on account of the climate much of 
 the wheat is imported. Cattle, as well as sheep, 
 are the small native breed, with a few from Pem- 
 broke., Hereford., etc. Butter and hogs are sent 
 to market from the dairy lands. Farm system, 
 bad, but improving; buildings, inferior; cottages 
 of mud, and thatched ; and stone inclosures. Coal 
 chiefly stone coal with many fossil plants (and 
 employing 1499 persons) and iron are worked 
 around Llanelly ; copper at Kidwelly ; slate, 
 building, and fire stone at Cwm Gwili and else- 
 where; dark blue marble at Llangyndeira ; and 
 lead (74 persons) at Lord Cawdor's mine near 
 Nant-y-Meryn up the Towy. Woollens (111 per- 
 sons were employed in factories 1847), and hides, 
 are made for exportation ; and fine fish caught in 
 C. Bay. Branches of the Towy (the anct. Tobius), 
 which produces salmon and savin, are, the Gwili, 
 Cothi, Bran, Sawddy, Cennen ; other rivers, 
 the Tavc, with the Gynin, Cowyn, Morlais, for 
 branches ; the two Gwendraeths ; the LJoughor or 
 I.oiighor and Ammon. Llanarthne has a good 
 mineral water. At Kidwelly is a canal 5 m. long; 
 and two or three rails, for mining produce run 
 up from Llanelly one 15 m. long along the 
 Loughor ; 35 m. of S. Wales rail, will go through 
 Loughor, Llanelly, Kidwelly, Carmarthen, Whit- 
 land ab. (towards Narberth). The roman Via Julia 
 MiiritiiHu went along the coast through Leticarum, 
 or Loughor, and Maridunwn, or Caer-marthcn ;

 direction of the supposed Via Montana; and 
 towards Llanio in Cardigan, whence a third branch 
 went round to Llanvair again. Coins have turned 
 up at Penboyr, Cilymaenllwyd and Convil Gaio. 
 At Buarth Arthur is a druid circle with a crom- 
 lech near it; Convil, in El vet, has some earth- 
 works and part of a cromlech ; there is a camp at 
 Cron Gae Dyer's 'Grongar hill;' and another, 
 
 called Tricrug at Llangadock. Besides these, 
 are remains of Talley and Whitland abbeys, and 
 Llauilwny priory, of castles, at Carmarthen, 
 Kidwelly, Laugharne, Lanstephan, Newcastle 
 Emh-n, and at Carrig Cinnen, Dynevor (the seat 
 of the S. Wales princes), Dryslwyn, and Llan- 
 dovery, all in the vale of Tow}". As part of Dynevor 
 it belonged to the fam. of Rhys, descendants of 
 Rhodri Mawr and How el Dha (who promulgated 
 his welsh code from Ty Gwyn near St. Clear), till 
 subdued by Edw. I., when it was made a distinct 
 county. Merlin's grove is at Abergwili, where, 
 1020, Llewelyn ab SUsyllt defeated Run, a Scottish 
 leader ; at Llandovery Pritchard was born, who 
 wrote the ' Lly-fr-y-Ficer,' or Vicar's book, a col-

 other igneous rocks, with a strip of mica slate on 
 the coast S. of Porthdynllen, another of limestone 
 near Bangor (with thin coal strata on Menai 
 Strait) and at Gt. Orme's Head. Between Pen- 
 maenmaur (1540 ft. high) and Yr Eifl or Rival 
 (1868), near Nevin, is a rugged alpine range once 
 crowned with forests, and the last stronghold of 
 the Britons against Edw. I. in the middle of 
 which the double-headed Snowdon, the Creigiau' 
 r Eryri, or Eagle rocks of the Welsh, rises 3571 ft, 
 at Y Wyddfa, the highest or ' conspicuous ' top. 
 with a view which embraces Cadcr Idris, Irish 
 Sea, Wicklow, I. of Man, Scottish and York, hills,

 Dolawen quarry, red at Cilgwyn, near Llanlyfni, 
 purplish at Dolbadern or Dinorwig and much 
 is shipped at Trevriw, the quarries employing 
 2832 hands. At Nant Francon and Cwm Idwal 
 stone for houses is found ; copper (439 hands) is 
 worked at Llanberis, Derwendeg near Gt. Orme's 
 head, Capel Curig and Beddgelert ; lead and 
 zinc at Bwlch-haiairn near Gwydir, Gest near

 native plants, including 27 rare ones, are fern, 
 maidenhair, Bryum, scurvy - grass, cranesbil!, 
 honeywort, liverwort and other lichens, crows- 
 foot, gillyflower, rue, speedwell, alpine violet, 
 etc. ; wolves and deer have disappeared with the 
 forest, but foxes and large goats are found, with 
 golden eagle (rare) and rock ousel. The upland 
 district of Lleyn to SW. is like Angksea in cha- 
 racter ; it is chiefly pasture for the small native 
 black cattle and sheep, which in summer ascend 
 the mountains to feed, and descend as the cold 
 season comes on. A little wheat is grown in the 
 light soil by the sea; but the chief crops are 
 oats, potatoes, and barley. The people are long- 
 lived and simple in their habits; they live on 
 oat-bread and goats' flesh, the dairies furnishing 
 cheese and butter, and they make flannel for the 
 markets. Horses are good, and the ugly native 
 pig is improved by crossing with Berkshire. 
 Many houses are built in a rough way of stone 
 and clay slate ; but the cottages are mean, and 
 the fences of stone. Herrings are caught oa the 
 coast ; paper,druggetsandyarn are made atTrema- 
 doc and Llanrug. Caerrhun is the roman Conovium 
 on the Toisobius or Conway, where pearl mussels 
 are found, and Carnarvon is Seqontium. There 
 are remains of camps or forts at Diganwy, one of 
 the earliest seats of the welsh princes, Dolben- 
 maen, Trer Caeri on Yr Kifl, Dinas Dinorwig, Din. 
 Dinlle, and Braich-y-Dinas ; of castles at Car- 
 narvon and Conway two of the finest in the king- 
 dom and also at Dolbadarn and Criccieth, where 
 lived Sir Howell-y-Fwyal (i. e. of the battleaxe), 
 who helped to take the French king at Poictiers. 
 Bardsey, near the Pr. Cancanorum, has remains 
 of its culdee abbey ; of Maenan only an arch is 
 left ; there is a large church at Clynnog where 
 St Beuno settled ; cromlechs at Bacheren, Ystym 
 Cegid, Cefn Amlwch, Penmorfa, and Ymeinau 
 hirion, near Braich-y-Dinas. This country was 
 the last held by Llewllyn, on whose defeat 
 Edw. I., after ascending Snowdon, held a tour- 
 nament at Nevin 1284. The seats, etc. are : Lord

 i. e. the Sleeve, by the French, and Oceanus Bri- 
 tannicus bv the Romans, stretches from a line from 
 Dover to C. Grisnez (18 m. long) to one from the 
 Land's End to Roches de Porcal (97 m.) near Aber- 
 vach, washes the coasts of Kent, Sussex, Hants. 
 Dorset. Devon. Cornwall, includes the Channel 
 Islds., I. of Wight, Scilly islds.,and contains about 
 23,900 geog. sq. m. A line at the mouth, or ' chops,' 
 from 49 20' N. (the parallel where ships usually 
 enter) to the middle of Straits of Dover, lies 
 WSW. i W. and ENE. E., and is 280 m. long. 
 Greatest breadth (Sidmouth to St. Malo) 128 m., 
 average above Beachy Head 38, thence to Port- 
 land 67, and below it 83, general average 70. 
 At the Straits, where the submarine telegraph 
 crosses, a chalk ridge (12 to 30fath. deep) shoot- 
 ing up at the Ridge and Varne banks (only 
 1 to 4 fath.) joins the two countries, thence 
 the depths gradually increase to 60 fath. down 
 the Channel (as well as up the N. Sea) inter- 
 rupted by the E. and W. Vergoyer banks (3 to 
 5 tilth.) off Boulogne, and several hollows (5 to 
 30 fath. deeper than the neighbouring parts) 
 called the W., XW., S. and Kurd's, Deeps (about 
 lat. 50 N., and long. to 3' W.) the bottom 
 throughout being chiefly coarse gravelly ground. 
 In-shore the depths are 15 to 22 fath. to Dunge- 
 ness, 12 to 22 to Beachy, 15 to 55 to Prawle 
 Point, 35 to 45 to the Lizard. Length of the

 nearest to both coasts), Serq, Herm, Jethou, Le 
 Merchant, and Caskets; were known by name 
 to the Romans as Ccesarea, Lernia, Arica, etc. ; 
 granted (550) by Childebert to Archbp. Sampson 
 (& Saxon), who built a chapel at Sampson's harb. 
 (Jer.), and with his successor St. Magliore helped 
 to spread Christianity ; ravaged (850 to 900) by

 the northmen, who murdered St. Helier in his cell 
 near St. Helier's(Jer.) ; granted (912) by Chas. IV. 
 to Eollo, 1st duke of Normandy, who gaveGuern. 
 to Sampson d'Anneville and fortified St. Michael's 
 castle against the Danes ; came to the english 
 crown on the death of Rob. Curthose (who built 
 Mount Orgueil), and were given by Rich. I. to 
 John, who, upon the death of his nephew Arthur, 
 lost all Normandy except the islds. ; were in- 
 vaded by the French (Edw. I.), also (Edw. III.) 
 when they took Castle Cornet, and Mt. Orgueil was 
 besieged by Du Guesclin the conqueror of Sicily, 
 also (Hen. IV.) and (Hen. VI.) when Pierre 
 de Freye took them by treachery, but they were 
 recovered (Edw. IV.) by Phil, de Carteret and 
 Sir H. Harliston, again (Edw. VI.) when they 
 took Cerq, which was retaken by stratagem ; be- 
 came the home of many refugee protestants after 
 the Reformation, which took deep root here and 
 though the liturgy is used, the discipline is 
 almost presbyterian ; were governed in Eliza- 
 beth's time by the great Raleig h, who built the 
 college and opened the Newfoundland fisheries ; 
 sided with Chas. I. and were defended by Car- 
 teret and Osborne against Blake, etc., but being 
 given up, were governed by 12 commissioners ; 
 attacked by the French, May 1779, when the 
 prince of Nassau with 5000 attempting St. Ouen 
 and Brelade bays were driven off, and their 
 fleet destroyed by Wallace; and again, 1781, 
 when 1200 men under Rullecourt surprised the 
 lieut -gov. by night, and took St. Helier's, but 
 were routed by the militia, with the death of 
 their leaders Plerson and Muleaster. Pop. 76,065 
 + 1, of whom 39,208 are in St. Helier's and 
 Peter le Porte, 41,520 are females, 32,811 under 
 20 yrs. of age, and 54,599 island-born; houses 
 11,212, besides 663 empty and building. Parishes 
 24, all rectories, making a deanery in dioc. of 
 Winton, and each managed by a constable (or 
 magistrate) with 2 substitutes or contenders, and 
 12 vintainiers, etc. The substratum is gneiss 
 and sienite, or dark granite, with some manga- 
 nese, and lead containing silver (in Serq). Cli- 
 mate mild and equable, with a mean temp, of 53. 
 Whiting, flatfish, conger, lobsters, oysters (St. 
 Catherine's bay) are found in the sea, which has 
 from 5 to 30 fath. at low water, and is covered 
 with rocks and shoals, where the tide (which 
 rises 41 ft.) runs very strongly. Around Jersey 
 are the Minquiers, Grelets, Videt, Anquette, 
 Boeuffin, Chateau, Ecrehou, Dirouailles, Pater- 
 noster, Rigdon, Grand, and other banks; the 
 Deroute chan. divides it from Guernsey, which 
 has about it the Hanois, Lihou, Bray, and the 
 Aufroque and other shoals in the Gt. and Little 
 Russel channels (next Herm and Serq); near 
 Alderney is the Race in the Chan, towards Cape 
 la Hogue light, through which the tide rushes 
 7 m. an hour, also the Blanchard, Noire 
 Putes, Chole, Susurouais banks, and the Ortach 
 or Burhou, which has the Passage du Singe or 
 ' Swinge ' on one side, and on the other the 
 Pommier and Casquets, with a revolving light 
 seen 15 m. Laver and samphire are found on 
 the rocks ; and sea- weed, or vraic, gathered for 
 fuel and manure. By the feudal constitution 
 of John, the government is in the hands of 
 the queen in council, with a governor, who still has 
 large nominal powers, and a resident lieut.-gov. 
 The forms of law are grounded on the old nor- 
 inan practice, and a majority of the jury convict 
 in criminal cases. The judicial courts at Jers. 
 and Guern. are composed of a bailiff or president 
 appointed by the crown, 12 jurats for life chosen 
 by the people, and the attorney and solicitor- 
 
 general and vicompte or sheriff, from whom, 
 except in murder, there is no appeal ; they hold 
 four courts, viz. of ' Heritage,' for property cases, 
 ' Chattels,' for rents, bankruptcy, etc., which 
 is also the criminal court, "Roll,"' for relief of 
 the other two courts, and the ' Samedi,' or 
 Saturday, for minor cases of assault, etc. For the 
 States of Assembly, see JERSEY and GUERNSEY. 
 All men between! 9 and 65 yrs. are trained in 
 the militia, which has a battery of artillery, and 
 is commanded by the lieut-gov. Gavel-kind 
 custom prevails, by which the best house and 
 part of the land goes to the eldest son, 2-3rds of 
 the rest equally among the other sons, and l-3rd 
 to the daughters. In consequence of intermar- 
 riages to keep property in the family many idiots 
 are seen. The language is a sort of norman 
 patois. By a papal bull no isld. merchant ship 
 could be made a prize, which was recognised bv 
 France down to Will. III. ; and there are othe'r 
 privileges peculiar to the islds. Convicts were 
 transported to England. Remains of old castles 
 are to be seen, and poquelays or druid cromlechs, 
 which are properly Scandinavian. In 1846, 440 
 sail of 41,907 tons (166 being under 50 t. each) 
 and 1 steamer of 39 t. belonged to the islds. and 
 the tonnage Inwards and Outwards, including re- 
 peated voyages, was from 'colonies' 2 sail of 
 197 tons from and to 'foreign ports' 928 sail of 
 30,768, and 865 of 28,548 1., besides 142 steamers 
 of 10,621 and 139 of 10,321 t., and 195 foreigners 
 of 18,352 and 188 of 17,921 1.

 Except a line of sandstone hills on the E. border 
 from Congleton past Alderley Edge (which has a 
 fine view towards Yorksli.) in which coal is found, 
 and another from Malpas to Frodsham, more 
 than 4-5ths of the surface is flat, well wooded, 
 and enclosed, and chiefly grazing and dairy 
 ground the soil being marl with clay, sand, 
 peat on a red sandstone bottom, and very fertile 
 in the Vale Royal, of which there is a good pros- 
 pect from Beeston Castle a solitary rock of 366 ft. 
 visible all round as far as Liverpool. Potatoes 
 (average 10 tons per acre), oats, wheat (less than 
 formerly), turnips are raised, but the chief pro- 
 duce is cheese, of which about 11,500 to 12,500 
 tons are sent to all parts of Engld. and Europe, 
 each weighing from 60 to 140 Ib. Stock of 
 short-horned and other cows 100,000, yielding 
 annually per head 2400 quarts of milk and 300 Ib. 
 of cheese; sheep 65,000, and 1250 packs of wool. 
 System of husbandry backward, but improving ; 
 leases run 11 yrs., but the av. size of farms is 
 under 100 acres, and the estates are large. Moss, 
 turf, now replace the forests which existed at 
 Delamere, the Wirrall, etc. but oak timber 
 abounds. The manufactures employ 51,481 per- 
 sons, the chief being cotton, calico, fustian, and 
 tape (31,279 hands), and silk and ribbons (15,547), 
 at Stockport, Macclesfield, Congleton, Sandbach, 
 Knutsford, Tarporley (leather breeches), besides 
 leather, thread, gloves, stockings, at some of these 
 places, in 1847, a bad year, 38,106, 108, 14,169 
 were employed in the cotton, woollen, and silk- 
 mills respectively. Salt (688 hands) from the 
 mines and brine springs along the Weever, at 
 Nantwich (the roman Salines'), Middlewich, Wins- 
 ford, and Northwich, where 60,000 tons yearly 
 are got from the mines, and 45,000 from springs 
 Marston salt mine being 35 acres large, and 
 250 ft. under ground. Other mines (1725 hands) 
 are : coal at Dukinfield copper, lead, cobalt, at 
 Alderley ironstone, Stockport coal, Macclesfield 
 and Parkgate lime and millstone at Mole Cop 
 (1091 ft. high). The lakes or meres are : Egerton, 
 Budworth, etc. but of no consequence. Of native 
 plants are ; asplenium scolopendrium fingered hart's 
 tongue, melampyrum arvense, saxifraqa autumnalis 
 yellow lengreen, at or near Beeston Cast. ; coma- 
 rum palastre marsh cinquefoil, myrica gale dutch 
 myrtle, narcissus poeticus daffodil, osmunda regali* 
 water fern, pinguicula vulgaris butterwort, sorbus 
 or wild ash, tanacetum or tansey, vaccinium oxy- 
 coccus whortleberry, all near Bellow Hill and 
 moors about Whitchurch. Of about 20 religious 
 there are remains of Birkenhead and Rock Savage 
 priories ; also of Haulton and Beeston castles ; in 
 Delamere forest is the chamber or lodge standing 
 on Ethelfleda's or Eddisbury camp, and many 
 tumuli, barrows, etc. are to be found at Prestbury, 
 which, as well as Mottram, has a curious old 
 church. Nixon, the Cheshire prophet, was born 
 at Over ; Bp. Wilson at Burton in Wirrall, Bp. 
 Heberat Malpas; Holinshed and Speed were also 
 county born; at Calvely lived Sir Hugh, who 
 fought at Poictiers, etc., and at Shotwick (which 
 has traces of a castle) Mary Davies, whose pic- 
 ture with horns growing out of her head is in 
 the Brit. Museum ; the Duttons of Dutton have 
 or had jurisdiction over the minstrels, pipers, etc. 
 of the county; and Milton's widow died at 
 Nantwich 1726. At Rowton Heath Chas. I. was

 CINQUE PORTS, THE, first established by the 
 Confessor, and confirmed by the Conqueror, for 
 the defence of the coast and the supply of a navy, 
 were Dover, Sandwich, Romney (these appear in 
 ' Domesdy. '), Hythe, and Hastings, to which 
 Rye and Winchelsea, with several subordinate 
 members, were added some being inland, but 
 those on the coast lying between Birchington 
 near Margate Kent and Seaford Susx. They are : 
 for Dover (which supplied 21 ships with 21 hands 
 each) Folkestone*, Faversham*, St. John's par. 
 Margate, Birchington, Ringwould ; Sandwich 
 (5 ships, 6 hands each) Fordwich*, Deal*,

 (5 ships) where the records are kept Lydd*, 
 Dene;e-marsh, Orlestone ; Hastings (21 ships) 
 Pevensey*, Seaford*, part of Bexhill, small part 
 of St. Leonard's, Beakesbourne near Canterbury, 
 Grange or Grench near Rochester ; Rye Ten- 
 terden* : those marked * being corporate mem- 
 bers, and nominally governed by a mayor and 
 jurats or aldermen. Under the Reform act Sand- 
 wich, Dover, and Hastings, return two representa- 
 tives (or barons) each as before, Rye and Hythe 
 (5 ships) one each instead of two ; Winchelsea, 
 Romney, Seaford, which sent two each, are dis- 
 franchised ; and the privileges of the freemen are 
 curtailed ; but the inhabitants are still exempt 
 from county juries and the militia. Courts of 
 Brotherhood (composed of mayors and jurats of 
 the ports) and of Guestling (in which mayors and 
 bailiffs of the members join) are held before the 
 coronation, to choose the barons who carry the 
 canopy over the sovereign's head; and occa- 
 sionally, to appoint the bailiffs who look after their 
 herring-fishery at Yarmouth. The Lord Warden, 
 who is Constable of Dover Castle, has the supreme 
 jurisdiction.

 576 or 5'1 per cent, illegit. ; ' deaths ' 6017 or 1 in 
 52, the all-England av. being 46 ; ' marriages ' 
 2577 (at church 2264), of which 2338 persons, or 
 45-4 per cent, signed with marks. The chief rock, 
 which is killas or clay slate belonging to the 
 ' Devonian ' or old red sandstone formation, with 
 limestone, and elvan or porphyry bands, is in- 
 tersected by a ridge of granite (called moorstone 
 and growan) running NE. and SW. through the 
 county, and rising into rugged masses at Brown 
 Willey 1368 ft. (the highest point),Carraton Down 
 1208, Hensbarrow 1029, Cam Bonellis 822, Cam 
 Brae 697, Sennen at Land's End 387, etc. Near the 
 granite are found the tin and copper, the staple 
 riches of the county, which numbers about 
 200 mining concerns, many called Huel or Wheal, 
 i.e. a work or pit, and mostly lying between St. 
 Austell's and St. Just's, with acapital of 2,440,0007., 
 employing in one way and another about 50,000 
 persons. Produce of the tin mines, which were
 
 COR 
 
 worked by the Phoenicians long before Christ 
 (tho' not noticed in ' Domesdy.' from the com- 
 motions which raged) is 5000 tons at 701. per ton, 
 chiefly from St. Agnes, St. Austell, etc. ; of copper, 
 not worked much before 1700, 10,000 tons at 957., 
 from St. Clear and Calstock in " eastern " district, 
 which takes in Gwennap and Redruth (see that 
 for the Consolidated Mine), Camborne and Illogan, 
 Gwinear, etc., and from Huel Vor (i. e. great 
 work), and St. Just's in " western" dist. St. Austell 
 is also a mining district; and Launceston (for 
 Blackmore), Lostwithiel (for Frymore), Helston 
 (for Kerrier), but chiefly Truro (for Tywamhaile), 
 and Penzance (for Penwith), are obsolete stan- 
 nary courts, to which the metal was brought to 
 be stamped before the repeal of the duties 1837, 
 and which sent members to the Stannary parl., 
 whose duties are now performed by a vice- warden 
 at Truro. A strip of carboniferous limestone with 
 slate and flagstone lines the Attery down to Laun- 
 ceston, and to the N. is a bed of millstone grit, 
 with culm, and coal plants. Lead is wrought at 
 Helston, slate at Liskeard and Denybole near 
 Tintagel hd., china stone at Stephen's, soap rock 
 or steatites (used in porcelain) near the Lizard 
 in the serpentine, along with asbestos ; good 
 building stone, and iron, cobalt, arsenic, zinc or 
 spelter, bismuth, mundick or pyrites, are found 
 in several places, indeed almost every kind of 
 mineral is to be had, and large collections are seen 
 at Menabilly and Scorrier Ho. The climate is 
 itiild and equal, and the soil though sterile on the 
 moorlands, is fruitful in the valleys and many 
 parts on the sea, where, being well manured with 
 sand, shells, weed, pilchards, it yields good crops 
 of naked barley or pillez (70 to 80 bush, per acre 
 sometimes), wheat, and potatoes of the last, 
 about Penzance, 300 to GOO bush, per acre have 
 been raised. Cattle and sheep are crossed with 
 Devon breeds, and mules are reared for walking 
 the hills. Farms are small, and let from 7 to 21 
 yrs., or on leases of three lives ; farm buildings 
 middling ; and agriculture, which is secondary 
 to mining, is backward but improving. From 
 July to September, the people on the coast 
 from Looe round to Padstow, turn fishermen 
 for pilchards, of which about 21,000 hogsheads 
 are produced chiefly for exportation ; red mullet, 
 turbot, mackerel, conger eel, oysters, etc., are 
 caught. A few woollens are made at Calling- 
 ton, etc., for home consumption. Besides the 
 rivers above, there are the Fal, Hel, Heyl or 
 Hayle all short and unimportant except for 
 the harbours at their mouths ; and a holy well 
 at St. Keyne. On the coast are found the cornish

 and millstone grit runs through by Penrith, Irby, 
 Cockermouth, bordered by one of coal, which 
 widens thence along the coast from Maryport to 
 Whitehaven. Another strip forms naked moor- 
 land on the NE. border from Alston moor to 
 Nichol forest, watered by innumerable burns and 
 springs which swell in winter, with few houses, 
 but thousands of black-faced sheep and grouse 
 (see'GuyMannering'). Between these sandstone 
 prevails in great plenty, except about Carlisle, 
 where coal and limestone are found ; and to the 
 SW. the. fell district of Copeland (cop, a head) is 
 chiefly mica and chlorite slate or blue rag, with 
 sandstone along the coast, occasional masses of 
 granite at Ravenglass, Ulleswater, R. Caldew, 
 etc., and trap, porphyry, whinstone, at Ennerdale, 
 etc. The mines (employing 3640 hands) are: 
 coal, worked at Talkin fells, Maryport, Work-

 Catlands, Gisland Spa (with many fossils) ; brown 
 marble at Lip Stainton, Dacre, green at Cross- 
 fell, yellow on R. Peterill, blue at Kirkoswald ; 
 gypsum at Hesket, Newbiggen ; soap stone at 
 Hill Top, St. John's, Langnor ; asbestos at North-

 sides fluor and other spars, quartz, garnet, corne- 
 lian, jasper, jet, in various parts ; copper at Cald- 
 beck, Hesket, Newlands; and traces of black 
 jack, zinc, cobalt, antimony, manganese, etc., are 
 seen elsewhere. The principal lakes (covering 
 about 20,000 acres) and mountains, of which 
 Keswick is the centre, are : Ulleswater (the largest 
 and most striking) 10 m. ESE., on Westmrld. 
 border, at the R. Eamont's head ; Thirlemere 
 (the highest 546 ft. above sea), 5 m. SE., on 
 R. Greta, under Helvelyn (3055 ft. high) and

 across England, over the Irish Sea, and into Scot- 
 land, etc. ; Over water, on the smaller R. Eden, 7 m. 
 NNW., under High Pike (2011 ft.), in the Cald- 
 beck fells ; Scales Tarn, under Saddleback (2789 
 ft.), and Souter fell, where something like the 
 Brocken spectre was seen 1744. Near the S. Esk 
 is Devock water, under Stainton fell ; further S., 
 near the Dudden, is Black Comb (1919ft.); on 
 Alston moor is Cross fell (2901 ft.), where the 
 Helm wind is felt in winter, and Hartside, Rod- 
 derup fells, etc. Other rivers besides the above 
 are Ellen, Waver, Wampool, Petteril, Line, Gelt. 
 Salmon are caught in the Solway, Eden, and at 
 Workington, trout, carp, char, in the lakes 
 (with wildfowl at times) and streams, floun- 
 ders, cod, etc., along the coast. Grouse are 
 shot on the moors ; the eagle is now rarely seen 
 in the mountains. About 5900 hands are em- 
 ployed in the manufactures, which are chiefly, 
 cotton at Carlisle, coarse linens, sail-cloth (White- 
 haven, etc.), paper (on the rivers), woollen (Kes- 
 wick), earthenware, iron, copperas, etc. in 1847, 
 a bad year, 2302, 306, 688, hands were in the 
 cotton, woollen and worsted, and flax mills, respec- 
 tively. Agriculture is improving ; butter is sent 
 to market from Alston moor, the cows yielding 
 a cwt. in the season. Farms, small and numerous, 
 and many let by customary tenure, but some on 
 lease ; the buildings are of stone, and thatched ; the 
 farmers, called lairds and 'statesmen (i. e. estates- 
 men), a hard}', contented race, many being 
 horse-dealers towards the N., where the indepen- 
 dence of the free-spirited moss-trooper still sur- 
 vives. Chief crops, wheat, oats, turnips ; stock 
 of sheep 400,000, yielding 10,000 woolpacks ; cattle 
 of the long and short horned breeds. Good mut- 
 ton is to be had at Keswick, and Longtown is 
 famous for the cranberries which grow on the 
 moors. Many bog and heathy plants are native, 
 with some aquatics on the coast. Among the 
 antiquities are draid circles, etc., at Grey Yauds, 
 Long Meg and her daughters, Giant's Grave and 
 Thumb near Penrith, Motherby, Egremont, Gut- 
 terby, Keswick, Black Comb (two or three circles),

 bone of England, a region of barren moors, 
 where thousands of sheep are pastured, abrupt 
 naked grit or limestone rocks, hollowed in caves 
 and rich in mines, with many small streams and 
 mosses in the valleys, which are subject to sud- 
 den storms and much rain, and the people to 
 the goitre. The forests and woodlands, where 
 wolves were once hunted, have disappeared under

 also in the middle from Belper upwards to the N. 
 border, and all round to Chapel-le-Frith, in beds 
 of great thickness, rising into bold crags near 
 Hathersage, Glossop, etc. The mines employ 
 6784 hands, governed by their own peculiar laws ; 
 of whom 1461 are engaged in getting yearly 4500 
 tons of lead, which was worked by the Romans, and 
 is found in the Peak, at Sheldon, Castleton, Mat-

 with its two wards and towers, covers 35 acres on 
 a steep hill to E., at the top of which are ruins of 
 an 8-sided Pharos of stone and tiles 40 ft. high, 
 built A. D. 53 by O. Scapula ; adjoining it are 
 remains of a collegiate church (on site of one 
 founded, thej r say, by K. Lucius) which was the 
 burial-place of some of the Ld. Wardens, and used 
 till 1690. Near it is Colton's gate, and around 
 were the Godwin, Clinton, Valance, and Mortimer 
 towers. Lower down is Hen. II. 's fine norman 
 keep or palace of two stories, 123 ft. by 103 and 
 108, and 24 thick in the walls, which has a 
 turret 468 ft. above the sea used by Gen. Roy, 1787, 
 when measuring the meridian arc between Green- 
 wich and Paris, and commanding a fine view, also 
 a chapel with norman arches, etc., a dungeon, 
 and a well which was 400 ft. deep. Around this 
 were the Suffolk tower and palace gate, the old 
 arsenal, king's kitchen, Arthur's hall, Harcourt's 
 gate, Well and Armourer's towers, King's gate, 
 Magnimot and Gore's towers, Ginevra's chamber, 
 etc., now turned into mess-rooms, stores, etc. or 
 pulled down : cannon are mounted on the keep, 
 which is bomb proof. The outer court is sur- 
 rounded with a curtain defended with towers 
 built at various times by the constables or the 
 knights who held by tenure from them, as

 pocket pistol a brass cannon 24 ft. long, given 
 to her by the States 1544, with a verse in dutch, 
 signifying, "O'er hill and dale I throw my ball, 
 Breaker my name of mound and wall." In 
 1642, Dawkes and 10 other Dover men took the 
 castle by surprise for parl., who kept it. Barracks 
 for 3 or "4000 men are excavated under ground, 
 and there is a roman camp near it. On the 
 heights opposite is the citadel, etc., and beyond, 
 Hay or Shakspeare's cliff 350 ft. high. The 
 town liberties include St. Peter's, Birchington, 
 and Wood, in Thanet, and Kingwould ; and 
 these with Faversham, Woodchurch, Gore-end, 
 Kingsdown, Margate, and Folkestone, are mem- 
 bers of the cinque port, which provided 21 ships 
 with 22 hands each for the navy. In John's time, 
 Hub. de Burgh with 40 ships defeated the French 
 with 80, off Boulogne. Constantius Chlorus was 
 here 300 A.D. ; Rich, king of Romans 1259 ; Emp. 
 Sigismund 1416 ; Hen. VIII. and Anne Boleyn 
 1520 to meet Chas. V. ; Chas. 1. 1625 to receive his

 France 1823 ; Emp. Alexander, king of Prussia, 
 1814; Duke of Wellington, as Id. warden and 
 constable, entertained 1839; Pr. Albert landed 
 1840 ; Q. Victoria 1842. Bp. White Kennet (b.

 These cliffs were partly excavated by blasting, 
 nnd on one occasion 18,500 Ibs. used at Round 
 Down loosened 1,000,000 tons of chalk, which 
 spread 1200 ft. into the sea, and covered 18 
 acres. From the station a submarine telegraph 
 22 m. long, across the Strait, to Cape Grisncz, 
 was laid down by Messrs. Brett, Aug. 1850,

 In 1821 Gen. Colby remeasured the distance be-

 Dover, Strait of, as above, between England 
 and France, and joining the Channel and N. Sea, 
 is the old Fretum Gallieum, and Pas de Calais of 
 the French, lined with chalk cliffs, which are 300 
 to 600 ft. high on the English side; is 21 m. 
 broad from S. Foreland light to Calais It., 20 from 
 Folkestone cliffs to C. Grisnez It. (on a cliff 194ft. 
 high), 26 from Dungeness It. (on a post-tertia^ 
 flat) to Boulogne cliffs, giving an av. breadth 
 of 22 (only 18 from Dover to C. Grisnez), while 
 the length is about 15. On the line from Hythe 
 in E. bay to Boulogne is an uneven chalk bottom, 
 which at Varne and Ridge shoals is only 1 to 4 
 fath. deep, but elsewhere 6 to 30 fath. ; a'nd hence 
 the depths gradually increase down the Channel, 
 but remain at about 20, 25, and 30 fath. up the 
 N. Sea. High water at moon's full and change 
 at 2| hrs. ; and a ' meeting of the tides ' from 
 both seas takes place.

 singham to Ebchester on Derwent; the beds, of 
 which there are about 40, being 3 to 8 or 10 ft. 
 thick, and in one part near Painswick worked 
 1800 ft. deep. On the E. side of this, a line from 
 Hartlepool to near Darlington divides the mag- 
 nesian limestone from the new red sandstone 
 which tills the SE. corner ; and on the W. mill- 
 stone, grit or shale, with sandstone, thin coal 
 measures, etc. forms the base of the black peaty

 etc., see S. WALES. Deep vallies lying N. and 
 S., as those of Neath, Taff, Eontha (or Ystrad- 
 y-vodog, a very wild part), break up the surface, 
 which is hilly throughout, rising from the coast 
 to the N., where the highest points are Mynydd 
 Llangeinor at the Oginore's head 1859 ft., Craig- 
 
 SLlyn at the Rontha's head (about 1900 ft. ?), 
 ynydd-y-Gwair, or Pentler Castell, etc. What 
 is called the Vale of G. is a more level, mild, 
 populous, and fertile strip, 8 to 1 m.broad, along the 
 S. coast, on a substratum of lias and carboniferous 
 limestone, with millstone grit about Llandaff, 
 Bridgend, etc. and old red sandstone near Cow- 
 bridge, which is also found with limestone and 
 marble in Gower, W. of Swansea. All besides be- 
 longs to the great S. Wales coal basin, most part 
 of which is in this county, and which contains 
 blast-coal to the E., anthracite coal towards 
 Llanelly, abundance of iron, and black-band iron- 
 stone at Cwm Avon, etc. where it was found 
 by Mushett. Coal (employing about 9000 
 hands) is worked, mostly by levels, and in beds 2 
 to 3 ft. thick at Trefores't, Llanwnno, Kilybebyll, 
 Swansea, and (with iron, which employs about 
 2500 hands) at Aberavon, Gelligaer, M. Tydvil, 
 Aberdare, Newbridge, Cadoxton, Llangonoyd, 
 Michaelston-super-Avon, etc. Ironworks at 
 these places employ 3300 hands ; copper at Swan- 
 sea, Michaelston, Neath, Taebach, etc. (1343), tin 
 at Treforest, Aberavon, Cadoxton, Kilybebyll, etc. 
 (491), pottery at Swansea, Nantgarw, Ewenny 
 (138); woollens (about 400, or 219 in 1847) 
 made in the country places. Veins of copper, zinc, 
 lead, manganese, are found in the limestone, which 
 also contains gypsum, fire-stone, and many fossils. 
 Other streams besides the above, are the Ddaw, 
 Ewenny, Ogmore (with salmon), Afon ; near L. 
 Maur are some falls, and the Hepste falls 
 are across the border; Fynnon Taf is a good 
 mineral spring. Soil, loamy in the val- 
 leys, and along the sea border, mixed with beds 
 of clay, and a richer tract near Llantwit-major ; 
 wheat (25 bush, per acre), barley (30 to 35 
 bush.), oats (35 bush.), potatoes (6 tons), with 
 some beans, turnips, mangel-wurzel, clover, etc. 
 are raised; the native cattle are a good breed, 
 with thin hides; that of sheep in the hilly 
 pastures (which are chiefly common), have 
 short hairy fleeces, and the ewes are milked for 
 cheese. Farms are of all sizes, dairy and arable, 
 and mostly on lease, the buildings and cottages 
 of stone, whitewashed. Beech and elm grow 
 
 large in the dry soils. There are traces of roman 
 
 camps on the Via Julia way at Cardiff(anct. Tibia 
 Amnis), Caerau, Boverton (Bovium), Neath (Ni- 
 das), Loughor (Leucarum), and also of the Sarn

 treasurer ; Vanbrugh was appointed surveyor 1716, 
 and succeeded by C. Campbell, Riplej-, Stuart, Sir 
 R. Taylor, etc. Improvements have been effected 
 by the commissioners in the market and road to 
 the pier, and from those made by stopping up 
 Friar's road between the college and infirmary. 
 
 and the removal of small outbuildings and gar- 
 dens around, including the pavilions on the ter- 
 race, the excellencies of this noble pile are now 
 displayed to great advantage. A view of the old 
 palace is at the Antiq. Society's, Somerset Ho. 
 Across the main road are the Hospital School 
 buildings, which consist of Q. Henrietta's palace, 
 or Pelham or ' Middle ' House (finished by In. 
 Jones 1635), with two later wings of 315 ft. 
 united by open colonnades 175 ft long, and a 
 full-rigged model of a frigate in front; they 
 include a chapel, school-rooms, dining-hall, dor- 
 mitories (slung with hammocks), workshops 
 (where tailoring, shoemaking, knotting, splicing, 
 and sailmaking and armourers' work are taught 
 to the lower school), lecture room, gymnastic and 
 tennis grounds, swimming pond, and infirmary 
 146 ft. by 42, b. 1783, by Stuart, for the original 
 hosp. or nautical school, begun 1715 (with 10 boys, 
 under Mr. Weston whose portrait, with Flam- 
 stead's, is in the Painted hall and increased to 
 60, 1731), and held in the hosp. till moved here, but 
 in 1821 again moved to its present site, and incorp. 
 with the 'Naval Asylum,' which having been found. 
 1805, for orphan boys and girls, after Trafalgar, was 
 brought over from Paddington. The girls' school 
 was broken up altogether 1842; and the pre- 
 sent establishment consists of 800 boys, sons of 
 seamen and marines (including officers' sons in 
 the upper schools), maintained for 1217. 3s. 8^d. per 
 week, and under an improved system of instruction 
 and training, which makes it the best professional 
 nursery in the kingdom. In the nautical or senior 
 school, with 4 masters, the most advanced boys 
 are taught mathematics, navigation, naut. astro- 
 nomy, chart drawing, observations, marine sur- 
 veying ; and hence hundreds of young officers have 
 been sent out to the naval and merchant services, 
 by the present head master (Mr. Riddle), to 
 whose exertions its present high position is 
 mainly due. Boys of the upper (properly middle) 
 school (6 masters), are taught arithmetic, writing, 
 singing, etc., with the elements of science and ma- 
 thematics, and, when fit, draughted to the nautical 
 school. The lower school, with 7 masters, for 
 400 sons of seamen and marines, affords a good 
 useful education, with singing, and, for the seniors, 
 the first rudiments of math, and science. The 
 beautiful Park of 200 acres, laid out by Le Notre 
 1664, in Charles II.'s time, with elms, chesnuts, etc., 
 contains One-Tree hill (where a naval column 
 230 ft. high was proposed to be built), with a fine 
 view of the hosp., river, etc.; the Wilderness or pre- 
 serve for deer ; clump of trees called Q. Elizabeth's 
 bower ; Park Keeper's lodge, with an oak 50 ft. 
 girth ; Long Walk, which 50 or 60 yrs. ago was a 
 select promenade on Sunday, for the governor, 
 officers, and gentry; Ranger's House, towards 
 Blackheath (lately held by Princess Sophia, now 
 by Earl Aberdeen) ; some barrows, in which spear 
 heads, knives, etc., were found 1784 ; reservoir for 
 the hosp. ; and the Observatory, 214 ft. (?) above 
 the river, found. 1675-6, by Ch. II. (on the site, 
 and with part, of Duke Humphrey's tower, 
 where Mary daughter of Edw. IV. died, Hen. VIII. 
 lodged a ' fayre ladye,' Elizabeth confined Leices- 
 ter, and Henry Earl of Northampton, founder of 
 Norfolk Coll., lived), for the astronomers royal, 
 a post filled by Flamstead (appointed 1676, and 
 his ' Historia Caelestis' of 3310 stars, pub. 1725), 
 Halley (1719), Bradley (1742 his catalogue of 
 3222 stars pub. by Bessel), Bliss (1762), Maske- 
 lyne (1765), Pond (1811 made a catalogue of 
 1000 stars). It has an old quadrant by Graham

 the chief business is to observe and register the 
 transits or meridional passages of the sun, moon, 
 stars, etc., night and day. From the Meteorolog. 
 Reports for 1841-7, it appears : that the mean height 
 of the barometer (at 32 Fahr. and 159 ft. above the 
 sea) is 29-761 in. ; mean temp, of air 49'2 (being

 highest being 33-3 in. (1841), lowest 17'6 (1847). 
 In 1841-5, one hour out of 6i was calm in the day, 
 1 out of 3 in the night ; 9 dys. on the av. per 
 year were cloudless (in 1843, not one), and 50 all 
 
 cloud. Hen. VIII. held tournaments here 1511, 
 
 and 1536 when Anne Boleyn was arrested, also 
 1513 when the first masquerade was performed 
 in England, and 1515 when Ch. Brandon mar- 
 ried his sister Mary ; Edw. VI. died 1554 ; Eliz., 
 who kept court here, was entertained by the city 
 in the Park 1539, the Low Country deputies 
 offered her the crown 1585, the danish and polish 
 embassies were received 1586, 1597, and here 
 Hentzner the traveller saw her; Q. Mary (1688) 
 and Geo. I. landed here, and the mother of 
 Geo. III. in ; Nelson's body was brought here 
 1805-6, from Trafalgar. An old carved house near 
 Crawley's wharf was the seat of Sir W. Boreham 
 (Ch.l I. ) ; Johnson ' struck with the seat that gave 
 Eliza birth' lodged next to the 'Golden Hart' 
 in Church St. 1737, and composed his ' Irene ' in 
 the Park ; Lord Chesterfield lived at what is now 
 the Ranger's House ; Vanbrugh built Vanb. house 
 on Maize hill, after the model of the Bastile, 
 and Vanb. castle, or ' Minced Pie house,' near it. 
 Dr. Burney's school was in Stockwell St., and 
 Dr. Crombie's near Maize Hill chapel. Ducarel the 
 antiquary, Goddard the Gresham professor (b.

 liable to serve in the militia, which is exercised 
 periodically. Granite is the substratum, ap- 
 pearing as gneiss in the S. where the ground is 
 highest, and the cliffs run 250 ft. in some parts, 
 and falling thence to tke sieuite in the N. where 
 some good meadow land is found. It is quarried

 (once the staple), wheat, but much of this, and of 
 barley and oats, is imported ; good butter is pro- 
 duced, the cattle being excellent milkers ; swine, 
 a large, but the horses, a poor, breed. From the 
 excessive division of land, most of the estates or 
 farms are under 12 acres, and badly cultivated, 
 but the cottages are neat and comfortable ; 
 rent is 10s, to 101. an acre. Woollen guernsey 
 frocks are no longer made. At Norman point

 where was a priory. Moulin Huet and Saints 
 bays have tine views ; excellent macadamized 
 roads run to all parts ; and the coast is defended 
 by martello towers. It publishes the ' G. Adver- 
 tiser,' ' G. Comet,' ' G. Gazette,' ' G. Star ; ' and 
 gives title of baron to Earl of Avlesford. In 1846,

 which plastic and London clays reach to the S. 
 Downs (passing Hambledon, Bps. AYaltham, etc.), 
 and also beyond the N. Downs about Basing- 
 stoke and Kingsclere; nearly all the rest is 
 chalk (which shows itself again at Portsdown 
 hill 447 ft. high, and in the middle of the Island, 
 where the cliffs and downs are 400 to 600 ft. 
 high) rising 942ft. at Sidon hill, 917ft. at Butser 
 hill camp, 900 at Beacon hill, except the green 
 sand about Petersfield, Alton, and W. of Kings- 
 clere, and on S. side of the Island, where, mixed

 farms run from 200 to 500 acres on the average, 
 or 500 to 2000 on the chalk, and let mostly 
 from year to year ; farm-buildings middling, the

 Pemberton, the Paunceforts, and Coleridge and his

 1834). Baker the chronicler was a resident, and 
 the great Lord Bacon died at Lord Arundel's

 riment of preserving a dead fowl with snow. 
 Opposite Cromwell Ho. (now a school) where the 
 Protector lived, is his secretary's, or Marvell's, 
 cottage. At the taverns here travellers used to 
 swear over a pair of horns " not to kiss the maid 
 when you may kiss the mistress, unless you like 
 the maid better, not to eat brown bread when 
 you can get white, unless you like the brown 
 better," and so forth. A point near Southgate 
 Ho. commands a noble view of great extent. To 
 save the steep hill, which rises 1 in 12 at some 
 parts, a tunnel 300 yards long under Hornsey 
 Lane was projected by Vazie 1809, through the 
 blue clay, which falling in when about 130 yds. 
 were cut, an archway with 3 semi-arches at top 
 was substituted, and opened 1813, the new road 
 leading past the Whittington almshouses and the 
 site of a lazar house found. (Edw. IV.) by W. 
 Poole ; fossil copal, etc. were found in the cutting.

 Highlands, The, or Hill country of Scotland, 
 bounded partly by the Grampians, and tying W. 
 and N. of a line from Dumbarton, through the 
 passes of Aberfoil, Comrie, Killiecrankie (all in 
 Perth.) to Braemar and round to Inverness, which 
 is a sort of capital, is a land of mountains, rivers, 
 and lakes, peopled by the Gael or Celt, a race 
 differing in blood, language, dress, from their 
 Saxon conquerors, before whom their forefathers 
 retired to the hills like the old Britons, to whom 
 they were allied. Here they lived in a savage 
 and unsettled condition ; were brave and hardy, 
 but given to fighting and plunder, and known 
 to their lowland neighbours only by repeated 
 forays. Under their chiefs, they remained inde- 
 pendent of the Scottish kings, though tamed by 
 Jas. V. (the Snowdon knight of Scott's ' Lady 
 of the Lake') and some of his predecessors. In 
 1645, most of the clans assisted Montrose in be- 
 half of Ch. I. ; they were reduced by Cromwell, 
 who planted garrisons at Inverness, Fort William, 
 etc. ; rose again at the revolution for Jas. II., 
 and for his children, under Marr 1715, and 
 again 1745, when with Ch. Stuart at their head
 
 HIG 
 
 they marched to Derby ; but in the mean time 
 the" country had been laid open by military roads 
 made by Gen. Wade 1737, and the power of the 
 chiefs was broken 1748 by the abolition of here- 
 ditary jurisdictions. Surface, about 13,500 sq. m., 
 including Suthrld., Ross, Inverness., Argyll., parts 
 of Elgin, Banff., Perth., Stirling, Dumbrtn. ; pop. 
 about 305,000, much reduced since the last cen- 
 tury by emigration, and dispersed over sheep- 
 farms, or along the coast (and in the West. Islds.), 
 but still gaelic- speaking. The first coach went 
 through the highlands 1811 ; steamers now run 
 along the W. shores, and through the Caledonian 
 canal ; and the value of land, stock, etc. has 
 greatly increased (7 or 8 times in some cases) by 
 the making of good roads. The clans and their 
 badges were and are : Buchanan (S. highlands^ 
 birch, Cameron (Middle) oak, Campbell (W.S 
 myrtle, Chisholm (X.) alder, Colquhoun (S.)
