ADVER  TISEMENT. 


In 'the  time  of  Strabo,  Mela,  and  other  ancient 
writers,  the  science  of  Geography  was  in  its  infancy; 
and,  therefore,  it  is  not  surprising  that  they  should 
sometimes  have  assigned  different  boundaries  to  the 
same  district,  -whether  of  land  or  water.  But  we  are 
also  to  consider,  that  the  continued  warfare  which  sub- 
sisted between  contending  nations  frequently  ex- 
tended the  limits  of  one  region,  and  of  course  con- 
tracted those  of  another.  Hence,  we  may  find  a  town 
represented  by  one  person  as  situated  in  Macedonia, 
and  by  another  as  in  Thessaly ;  yet  both  may  be  right, 
according  to  the  time  in  which  they  respectively  wrote. 
The  same  remark  is  applicable  to  other  districts,  as  is 
clearly  demonstrated  in  the  present  times ;  for  \vhich 
reason,  the  boundaries  are  in  general  omitted  in  this 
publication. 

To  no  other  merit  than  that  of  industry  does  the 
Editor  pretend  to  lay  any  claim.  Being  accustomed 
to  peruse  the  transactions  of  former  periods,  he  was 
frequently  at  a  loss  to  know  where  any  particular 
event  took  place;  the  name  of  an  island,  city,  or  river, 
being  often  mentioned,  without  any  information  being 


2 

given  respecting  the  part  of  the  world  in  which  it  was 
situated.  To  obviate  this  difficulty— whenever  he  met 
with  one  pubhcation  that  elucidated  another,  or  when 
in  the  same  work  he  found  one  part  explanatory  of  the 
other,  he  had  recourse  to  his  common-place  book,  from 
which   the    information    was   afterwards    copied   in 
alphabetical  order,  but  without  any  view  to  publica- 
tion. In  process  of  time,  however,  the  manuscript  be- 
came voluminous,  and  he  then  began  to  incorporate 
it  with  other  alphabetical  works  on  the  same  subject. 
That  errors  and  omissions  will  unavoidably  appear, 
in  an  attempt  of  this  nature,  must  be  presumed ;  but 
such  as  shall  be  dete(5led  by  the  Editor  on  a  revision, 
or  may  be  kindly  corrected  by  any  reader,  and  trans- 
mitted, under  cover,  to  Messrs.  Longman  and  Rees, 
shall  be  carefully  attended  to,  whenever  it  may  be 
necessary  to  reprint  the  work.

pmen,  the  clelty  was  confultcd  ;  but  if  it 
was  unfavourable,  the  Pvthonefs  was  at 
liberty  cither  to  conf'ult  or  rcfiife,  at  her 
option.  On  the  firft  inftitution  of  this 
oracle,  one  month  in  the  year  was  ap- 
propriated to  hold  conri.ltation?,  which 
was  in  the  fpring  ;  but  from  the  variety 
of  ridiculous  queftions  propofed,  it  be- 
came cuftomary  onca  a  inoiuh,  and  ge- 
nerally on  the  7th  day,  which  was  the

was  originally  feleded  from  among  the 
young  virgins ;  but  one  of  them  who 
had  been  fu  felefted  proving  with  child,

no  perfm  fhould  be  chofen  Pythonefs 
before  they  had  attained  the  age  of 
fifty,  to  avoid  fuch  difgrace  in  future. 
When  the  petitioner  hrrd  performed  his

at  the  foot  of  Mount  Parnaffus ;  and 
taking  fome  leaves  from  the  laurel-tree

Denmark.  In  7S4  they  conquered  the

next  year  a  peace  was  concluded  with

in  1 145  the  Vandals  over-ran  and  de- 
ftroved  the  country,  which  in  1156  was 
divided  into  three  parts,  viz.  Zeaianii, 
Sclionen,  and  Jutland.  In  117a  they 
took  Juliers,  in  Pomerania,  where  they 
malTdcrtd  all  the  male  inh;^bitants.  and 
burnt  the  town:  in  1199  they  took  (e-

obtained  polTeHinn  of  Hamburgh  and 
Lubec  :  the  latter  place  was  deftri-yed 
by  fire  in  iicq.  on  which  account  the 
taxes  were  remitted,  to  enable  the  inha- 
bitants to  rebuild  it.  Jn  1x19  thev  fub- 
dued  the  Livonians,  and  built  the  towns 
of  Revel,  N  iiva,  ^nd  Weilfcmhurg  :  in

after  which  great  diflTenfmns  prevailed 
for  a  number  cf  years,  which  were  not 
trrminared  till  i;02,  and  not  long  after 
they  wert;  revived.  In  1371;  a  pL-ltilence 
raged  throughout  the  Cfiuntrv  which 
cauicd  great  devatlation  :  in  i^^t)  Mar- 
garet was  cjneen  of  Denmark,  Nurway,

with  the  duke  of  Steiin,  the  earls  of 
Holrtein,  and  th.-  duke  of  SkTwic:  at 
her  death  a  civil  war  entucd,  which  con- 
tinued for  feveral  vcars.  In  142;  it 
was  enacted  that  no  handicraftman 
fliould  be  a  I'enator  at  Elfinore.  Jn  1425 
the  king,  to  encourage  people  to  fettle 
there,  ordered  that  whoever  built  a 
houlc  of  timber  thouid  bo  fr<c  fr<>m  laxts

llone  for  tv^etuy  years.  In  1433  the

clcap-  in  diluuile  ;  after  wh'ch,  having 
C(j|le(5Ud  his  rreafure  together,  he  went 
into  Gothl'iid.  Another  knig  being

the  example  of  the  Swedes ;  but  they 
being  qotiied,  the  leaders  of  the  fa£lion 
were  executed.  In  145^  the  Danes 
fubiiued  Hamburgh,  but  confirmed  their 
former  privileges.  In  14^1  Sweden  be- 
came a  feparate  government,  and  conti- 
nued lo  for  fcveral  years;  but  in  1519 
Stockholm  being  taken,  great  cruelties 
were  committed,  and  the  city  in  great 
part  deftroyed.  This  and  other  fimilar

Germany  ( Cermania ,  Tranfrhe- 
notm,  Tra7tfdanubinna)y  an  exttnfue 
empire  in  Europe,  appears  to  have  been 
inhabited  about  130  years  after  the  Flood, 
by  a  people  who  were  called  Tuifcones, 
from  Tuifco,  their  leader  :  in  procefs  of 
time  thole  who  inhabited  the  parts  next 
the  ocean,  which  are  now  denominated 
Friefland,  Denmark,  Ali'ace,  Diethmar- 
(ia,  Weri|'halia,  and  Saxony,  were  called 
Jngevones  :  thofe  who  had  fixed  their 
relidence  in  Gueldres,  France,  Holland, 
Brunfwick,  and  Cologne,  were  known 
by  the  name  of  IlUievones  :  thofe  \M\q 
had  taken  up  their  abode  in  Thuringia, 
Mifnia,  Bohemia,  Lufatia,  Silefia,  Mo- 
ravia^ and  part  of  Poland,  were  called 
Hermiones,  or  Hermanduri  ;  among 
whom  ic  was  ordained  that  the  women 
and  children  fiiould  attend  the  wars,  for 
the  purpofe  of  providing  the  foldiers 
with  victuals,  to  luck  and  heal  their 
wounds,  and  during  the  time  of  aftion 
to  animate  the  men  by  their  outcries, 
they  being  confidcred  entirely  under 
their  protection:  thefe  people  were  part 
of  them  trained  to  war,  and  the  remain- 
der to  the  plough,  both  of  whom  were 
forbid  indulging  themfeivcs  to  excefs  in 
any  thing. 

About  A.M.  2187,  Ofyri?  king  of 
Egypt,  came  intoGcmany,  and  inftru£V- 
«d  the  people  how  to  cu't.  vate  ih-  land 
in  a  better  manner  than  they  had   been 


accuftcmed  to,  and  from  the  produce  of 
it  to  make  ale. 

About  2279,  Suevus,  of  whom  the 
people  were  called  Sueves,  came  and 
fettled  here.  They,  in  procefs  of  time, 
divided  themfelves  into  four  tribes,  viz. 
Lombards,  Marcomanni,  Sennones,  and 
Alemanni,  or  Almains  :  the  Vandals 
over-ran  the  country  about  2326,  and 
the  Teutonics  difpoffeficd  them  about 
2367  :  in  2394,  AlemanniK  was  governor 
of  the  country,  who  brought  with  him  a 
lion  in  chains,  which  is  the  arms  of  Ba- 
varia :  from  him  are  defcended  the  Huns, 
the  Swifs,  and  the  Bohemians,  the  latter 
of  whom  fettled  on  the  borders  of  the 
Hercynian  foreft  about  2458,  and  built 
the  city  of  Prague. 

Liburnia,  now  known  by  the  names 
of  Carinthia  and  Carniola,  upon  the 
Adriatic  Gulf,  appears  to  have  been  firft 
pe.pled  from  thence :  as  the  country  be- 
came populous  they  extended  themfelves 
to  the  river  Aibit,  and  cultivated  that 
part  which  is  now  termed  Bohemia  and 
Moravia  ;  afterwards  they  proceeded  to 
Heffe,  and  in  procefs  of  time  to  Alfacc 
and  Lorraine  :  in  the  time  of  Aurelian 
a  colony  removed  to  the  Rhaetian  Alps, 
who  foon  after  took  poffellion  of  Wir- 
temburg,  and  eftablifhed  themfelves  in 
the  Tyrol,  and  on  the  confines  of  Italy  : 
from  thence  a  colony  emigrated  and  took 
up  their  abode  in  Galicia,  where  thry 
eftablifiied  a  kingdom,  which  continued 
for  the  fpace  of  176  years,  when  they 
were  expelled  by  the  Vifigoths. 

The  Franconians  eftdblifhed  them- 
felves m  Germany  about  2790,  end  con- 
tinued there  till  they  were  driven  out  by 
the  Gauls  and  Illyrians  in  2831. 

The  Getae  (Goths')  inhabited  the  coun- 
try on  the  banks  of  the  Ifther  in  3858  : 
but  being  diflansfied  with  their  fituation 
they^dividcd  themfelves  into  three  pa>» 
tics  :  one  of  which  pafied  the  Alps,  and 
fettled  in  Switzerland;  another  removed 
into  Scotland,  where  they  were  called 
Vi£\s ;  and  the  other  took  poffeflion  of 
Poland  and  the  adjacent  country 

About  A.D.  1 8  3,  a  colony  of  the  Goths 
feated  themfelves  in  Wefiphalia,  and 
were  become  fo  formidable  in  236  that 
the  Romans  were  afraid  of  thenn  :  ip 
256  they  entered  Afia,  and,  having  over- 
run Macedon,  proceeded  to  Ephefus, 
where  they  burnt  the  temple  of  Diana  : 
the  next  year  tV-:y  went  into  Bithynia, 
where  having  dellroyed  Chalcedcn,ls^ice, 
and  Ilium,  th^  returned  !.;dcn  with 
fpoils  :  in  261,  .they  were  dcfuatrd  in 
Thrace  and  Moefia  ;  but  they  returned 
in  163,  and,  having  invaded  Thraccand

Macedonia,  befieged  Thcflalonica  :  in 
Z78  they  were  expelled  Thrace  ;  and  in 
48S  Dioclcfian  crofted  forts  to  prevent 
their  future  incurfions. 

The  Qningentiani  being  troublefome 
to  the  Romans,  they  invited  the  Goths 
to  3(fift  ill  fupprelTing  them  ;  which  tbey 
accomplinied,  but  were  afterwards  flight- 
ed by  the  Romans. 

In  327  they  invaded  the  empire,  with- 
out fiicccfs  :  in  332  they  invaded  Thrace 
and  Moefia;  where  being  defeated,  they 
planted  themfelves  beyond  the  Danube, 
and  agreed  to  alfift  Conftantine  with 
40,000  men  :  the  troops  being  trained 
for  that  purpofe,  and  unemployed,  ex- 
pelled their  leaders,  and  took  pofleffion 
of  Pannonia. 

In  373  the  Goths  fell  into  civil  d'f- 
fenfions,  which  continued  feveral  years. 
In  400  they  over- ran  Pannonia  and  Dal- 
matia  without  oppofition  :  the  next  year 
they  entered  Italy,  from  whence  they 
were  expelled  the  year  following:,  and 
returned  through  Pannonia  into  Epirus. 
In  410  they  obtained  pofieflion  of  Rome, 
in  which  citv  they  made  captive  of  Pla- 
cidia,  fifter  to  the  emperor;  but  on  their 
return  to  Africa  by  fea,  a  lempeft  ardfe, 
and  all  their  fpoils  were  loft. 

In  411  they  mEJ  an  irruption  into 
France  and  Spain,  and,  having  waged 
war  with  the  Vandals,  eftabliflied  the 
kingdom  of  the  Vifigoths  at  Thouloufe, 
and  took  the  city  of  Valentia,  in  Gaul. 
In  414,  they,  in  conjunftion  with  Attilla 
king  of  the  Huns,  attacked  the  emperor 
Conftantius  who  forced  them  into  Spain  ; 
after  which,  a  peace  being  concluded, 
the  emperor  allorted  Aquitain  to  be  the 
refidence  of  the  Goths.  In  425  they  in- 
vaded the  empire,  and,  being  expelled 
from  thence,  took  pofrtdion  of  the  coun- 
try  tliat  the  Vandals  had  forfakcn  when 
they  went  into  Africa.

who  retook  Breda;  at  which  time  'the 
Stares,  having  renounced  theinbcdience, 
adumed  the  governmenr. 

The  prince  of  Orange  being  (hot,  in 
1582,  the  parties  were  taken  and  exe-

been  conflned  in  Spain,  was  delivered 
from  his  imprifonmen:  in  1596,  when 
the  Stares  entered  into  an  alliance  with 
England  and  France  :  the  next  year 
they  took  pofTeflion  of  feveral  ftrong 
places,  and  made  preparations  for  trad- 
ing to  the  Eaft  Indies,  which  they  put 
in  execution  in  1598  :  the  next  year, 
having  taken  Wachtendonk  and  feveral 
other  ftrong  places,  they  were  prohibited 
from  trading  with  Spain. 

In  1601  Cracou  and  Rhinberg  were 
talcen,  and  Bois  ie  Due  was  btfieged, 
but  in  vain  :  the  next  year  Grave  was 
fubdued,  and  the  States  gave  aiTiftance 
to  the  citizens  of  Embden,  who  revolted 
from  their  government. 

In  1604  Sluys  was  taken,  in  view  of 
the  archduke's  army  :  the  iile  of  Cad- 
fant,  the  fort  of  Jfenburg,  and  Arlon,  in 
Luxemburg,  were  aHo  fubdued  the  fame 
year. 

In  1606  the  Spaniards  bcfieged  Sluys, 
where  they  were  repulfed  with  great 
(laughter  J  and  the  people  of  Embden, 
by  the  mediation  of  England,  were  re« 
conciled  to  their  governors. 

The  Dutch  obt«,ined  a  fignal  viftory 
over  the  Spaniards  in  the  Straits  of  Gib- 
raltar in  1607;  and  the  next  year  the 
marquis  of  Spinola  was  difpatched  to  the 
Hague  to  treat  for  a  peace,  which  ter- 
minated in  a  truce  for  twelve  years  ;  but 
in  161 1,  the  Dutch  admiral  not  lowering 
his  flag  to  the  Spaniards,  an  engagement 
took  place  off  Cape  St.  Vincent's,  in 
which  the  Spaniards  loft  three  fhips, 
and  the  Dutch  admiral  was  killed. 

In  1613  the  Spanifh  fleet,  going  to  the 
Indies,  was  defeated  by  the  Dutch,  who 
took  the  caftle  of  Mina,  in  the  South 
Sea,  and  erefted  two  forts  to  fecure  the 
navigation  of  the  Ems,  having  taken 
Emeric  and  Rees. 

In  1616  the  States  redeemed  the 
towns  in  poffcftion  of  the  Englifh,  and 
overcame  the  I'ortuguefe  at  the  Moluc- 
cas. 

In  1627  they  fortified  Grave  and  Ni- 
meguen,  and  the  next  year  deprived  the 
Spaniards  of  great  wealth  in  the  Weft 
Indies.     See  Battavia.

jElia  Capftolina),  a  city  of  Judea,  in 
Afia  }  appears  to  have  been  founded 
about  A.  M.  ao3  5  by  Melchizedck : 
when  the  Jews  entered  the  Land  of 
Promife,  the  Jebufnes  became  poffeffed 
of  it,  which  they  retained  824.  years  ; 
but  when  David  afcended  the  throne  of 
Ifrael,  he  difpofleded  them,  and  made  it 
the  metropolis  of  his  kingdom. 

In  Z974  the  city  was  taken  and 
plundered  by  Shclac,  king  of  Egypt  ; 
aifo  by  Jo)s,  king  of  Ifrael,  in  3117; 
by  Nebuchadnezzar,  king  of  B.ibylon, 
in  3360;  and  after  the  feventy  years 
captivity,  the  people,  on  their  return, 
rebuilt  the  temple,  which  had  been  de- 
ftroyed,  and  furrounded  the  city  with  a 
wall. 

Upon  the  dilTenfions  am6ng  the  high 
priefts,  in  3591,  Vagofcs,  lieutenant  to 
Artaxerxes,  entered  the  city,  and  de- 
fpoiled  it  again  :  in  3638,  Ptolemy 
Lagi,  under  pretence  of  facrificing,  fur- 
prifcd  the  city  :  in  3780  Antiochu* 
Epiphanes  gained  poffelfion  of  it,  and 
profaned  the  temple  :  afterwards,  in 
3887,  it  was  taken  by  Pompey,  who 
made  it  tributary  to  Rome. 

The  city  was  fubdued  by  Titut 
A.  D.  70  J  and,  upon  a  rebellion  of  the 
Jews,  in  132,  the  emperor  Adrian  or- 
dered it  to  be  demolifhed  ;  but  he  after- 
wards repaired  the  damage  that  had  been 
done,  and  prohibited  the  Jews  from  en- 
tering the  city. 

In  636  the  Chriftians  were  expelled 
the  city  by  the  Saracens  under  Omar, 
who  retained  pofleflion  of  it  for  the 
fpace  of  504  years.  In  1099  Godfrey 
of  Boulogne,  with  the  affiftance  of  the 
weftern  princes,  recovered  the  city  from 
the  Saracens  :  in  1187  the  fultan  Sala- 
dine  expelled  the  Chriftians,  and  re- 
tained poffelfion  of  the  city  329  years, 
when  Selimas  the  Turkifh  emperor 
fubdued  them  j  and  it  has  continued  ia 
the  poffeffion  of  the  Turks  ever  fince 
that  period.

Ionia  (^JEgialus),  a  diftrift  of  Afia 
Minor  ;  appears  to  have  been  peopled 
about  one  hundred  and  forty  years  after 
the  deftruftion  of  Troy,  by  Neleus ; 
v'ho,  with  a  great  number  of  followers, 
went  in  purfuit  of  a  filiation  to  dwell  in, 
and,  after  exploring  Naxos,  and  other 
iflands  in  the  Archipelago,  paffed  into 
that  part  of  Afia  Minor  north  of  Caria, 
where  they  built  feveral  cities,  as  Mi- 
letum,  Cfazomenes,  and  others ;  calliHg 
the  country  Ionia;  where  their  pofterity 
remained  till  they  were  fubdued  by  Cy- 
rus. 

This  expedition  of  Neleus  is  termed 
by  hiftorians  lonica  migratio,  or  the 
Ionian  expedition ;  during  which  time 
Homer  is  faid  to  have  been  born.  The

his  birth,  viz.  Cuma,  Smyrna,  Chios,

the  citizens  revolting,  at  the  inftigaiion 
of  Amilcar,  but  after  lofing  36,000  of 
their  number  they  returned  to  their  obe- 
dience. The  city  continued  to  flourilh 
for  a  confiderablc  time,  till  St.  Ambrofe 
was  appointed  their  bilhop,  when  the 
Arrians  berame  troublcfome,  and  the  city 
wab  demoliflieJ  by  Attilla  ;  it  was  after- 
wards repaued  and  continued  to  flou- 
riflj,  till  the  citizens  were  annoyed  by 
the  Lombards ;  after  the  diffolution  of 
whofe  monarchy,  the  city  continued  in 
a  profpeious  Hate  under  kings  and 
dukes  for  the  fpace  of  360  years. 

In  1 161  Frederic  BarbarofTa  razed  the 
city  to  the  ground,  becaufe  fome  of  the 
inhabitants  had  infulted  his  princefs  ; 
but  the  city  recovered  its  prilline  beauty 
in  a  few  years,  and  in  1395,  Winccf- 
laus,  the  emperor,  created  John  Galeazo 
the  firft  duke,  whofe  fon  Philip  dying 
without  legitimate  ilTue,  he  left  it  by 
will  to  the  king  of  Arragon  :  Blanch, 
his  natural  daughter,  being  married  to 
f  rancis  Sforza,  who  was  in  great  favour 
with  the  people,  took  pofleffion  of  the 
city  :  the  king  of  Arragon  laid  claim  to 
it  by  will ;  the  emperor  cbimed  it  by  ef- 
cheat,  for  want  of  heirs  male ;  and 
Lewis  XI r.  King  of  France,  demand- 
ing it  in  right  of  his  mother,  who  was 
/  daughter  to  the  firft  duke,  took  pofiTef- 
fion  m  the  year  1500,  but  in  1512,  the 
inhabitanrs  revolted  in  favour  of  Sforza, 
and  expelled  the  French. — In  1515, 
Francis  the  French  king  recovered  it  j 
i)Ut  being  taken  prifoner  ar  the  battle  of 
Pavia,  he  was  compelled  to  refign  this 
city  to  the  emperor  Charles,  before  he 
could  obtain  his  liberty.  During  the  go- 
vernment of  Sforza,  the  haven  was  made, 
and  the  caftle,  which  was  at  that  time 
thought  to  be  impregnable,  was  built.

imia,  Samogitia,  Podolia,  Ruflia  Nigra, 
Mazovia,  Prulfia,  Podlaifii,  Orwitz,  and 
Poland.  The  people  were  defcended 
from  the  Sclavi  and  Sarmati,  and  were 
termed  P^lachs. 

Lechus  and  Czechus,  two  brothers,  de- 
parted from  Croatia  to  kt.k  dwellings  in 
a  dillant  country;  Lechvis  fixed  his  rtli- 
dence  in  Polonia,  and  Czechus  took  up 
kis  abode  in  Bohemia. 

Lechus  built  Gnefna,  where  he  refid- 
ed,  and  fubdued  Silcfia,  Brandenburg, 
Pruffia,  Mecklenburg,  Pomcrania,  Hoi- 
ilein,  and  Saxony  ;  he  was  killed  in  a 
duel,  and  his  poftenty  continued  about 
1 50  yeirs,  when  his  line  failing  in  Vif- 
xner,  the  people  elefted  twelve  palatines 
or  wayvods  to  govern  them  ;  and  under 
that  form  of  government  they  continued 
a  ccniidf^rable  time,  till  the  people  be- 
came diffatisfied  ;  and  about  A.D.  700, 
clefted  a  fingle prince  named  Cracus,  who 
expelled  the  Eaft  Franks  out  of  his  ter- 
ritories, and  built  a  city  which  he  called 
Cracow,  where  he  eflablilhed  his  go- 
vernmcct;  at  his  death  he  left  two  -oas^ 


Cracus  and  Lechus,  and  one  daughts?' 
named  Venda  ;  Cracus  fucceeded  his  fa- 
ther, but  he  being  killed  by  his  brother', 
the  people  baniflied  Lechus,  and  Vendi 
fucceeded  to  the  government. 

Rittogarus  a  German  prince  folicited 
her  in  marriage,  whom  (he  refufedj.on 
that  account  he  invaded  Poland,  and 
being  defeated,  f«X)n  after  put  an  end  to 
his  exirtence  ;  Venda  afterwards  taking 
a  religious  turn  made  feveral  facrihcesi 
and  at  length  drowned  hcrfelf  in  the 
river  Viltula. 

After  her  death  the  people  elefted 
palatines  a^ain,  and  the  country  was  in- 
vaded about  758  by  the  Moravians  and 
Pannonians,  who  were  defeated  and 
driven  out  of  the  country  by  Primiflaus, 
who  was  elefted  prince  under  the  af- 
lumed  name  of  Lefchus ;  at  his  death  a 
controverfy  arofe  about  the  fucceffion, 
and  the  perlbn  nxed  upon  having  ufed 
unfair  means  to  obtain  the  fuuation,  his 
rival  was  ele£ted,  and  ca;led  Lefchus 
IL  ;  he  being  killed  in  an  engagement 
with  the  French,  was  fucceeded  by  Po- 
pielus,  a  perfonof  a  dailardly  fpirit,  and 
unfit  to  govern ;  he  removed  the  feat  of 
government  from  Cracow  to  Gnefna, 
and  from  thence  to  Crulvicia,  where  he 
ereded  a  caftle  ;  at  his  death,  PopieJus 
IL  wa";  choftn,  and  his  uncles  were  ap- 
pointed guardians  during  his  minority  ; 
he  being  of  a  vicious  habit,  they  were  in 
hopes  to  reclaim  him  by  marriage,  and 
accordingly  fixed  upon  a  German  prin- 
cefi,  whom  he  married  •,  but  (he,  by  her 
covetoufnefs  and  cruelty,  made  him 
worfe  J  and  taking  the  government  upon 
herfelf,  fhe  behaved  with  great  cruelty 
to  her  family;  after  her  deceafe  there 
was  an  interregnum  for  feveral  years. 

Piaftus  Rufticus  being  elected  prince, 
he  removed  the  feat  of  government  to 
Gnefna,  and  was  beloved  by  the  people 
for  his  mild  behaviour,  and  other  excel- 
lent qualities  ;  his  poftcrity  continued  for 
a  feries  of  years,  when  Meciflaus  being 
chofen,he  married  Damhrouca,  daughter 
of  Bolcllaus  duke  of  Bohemia,  and  was 
afterwards  baptized  ;  the  kingdom  being 
converted  to  the  faith,  he  built  feveral 
churches,  and  made  Gnefna  and  Cracow 
two  bishopries  ;  after  thefe  proceedings, 
he  applied  to  the  pope  to  be  inveftcd 
with  the  title  of  king,  but  was  unfuc- 
cefsful. 

He  was  fucceeded  by  Boleflaus,  who 
being  in  friendlhip  with  the  emperor, 
was  created  king,  A.D.  1000;  a  war 
breaking  out  with  the  Bohemians,  they 
took  Cracow,  and  the  Poles  took  Prague

and  Viccgradc,  with  the  king  and  his 
Ion  Jaroniire  ;  the  eyas  of  the  king  were 
put  out,  and  Moravia  being  fubJued, 
Boleflaus  waged  war  with  the  duke  of 
Prulfia,  and  took  Kiovia  from  him  ;  he 
afterwards  took  Brandenburg  from  the 
Saxons,  and  invaded  Pomerania,  where 
being  defeated  by  the  emperor,  his  nobles 
became  dilfatufied,  but  were  ioon  re- 
duced to  their  allegiance;  when  he  at- 
tacked the  Ruffians,  and  being  luc- 
cefsful,  demanded  tribute  from  them, 
which  they  would  not  I'ubmit  to;  on 
■  which  account,  he  with  an  army  entered 
the  country,  and  took  feverai  of  their 
nobility,  whom  he  imprifoned. 

Boleflaus  dying,  was  iucceeded  by 
Miefco  II,  who  was  attacked  by  the  Bo- 
hemians ;  and  Moravia  being  taken  po<- 
leihon  of  by  them,  he  retaliated  by 
feizingupon  Pomerania,  foon  after  which 
he  died  ;  and  the  people  being  diffatisfied 
with  the  queen,  Ihc  took  her  fon,  with 
all  the  treafure  flie  could  collecl,  toge- 
ther with  the  two  crowns  of  the  king- 
dom to  the  emperor,  who  gave  her  Mag- 
deburg and  Brunfwick,  and  fent  her  fon 
to  a  monaittry. 

Maflaus,  the  cup-bearer,  having  taken 
poffeffion  of  Mazovia,  caufed  great  con- 
fufion  ,  the  nobility  agreed  to  recal  their 
prince  Cafimir,  but  he  being  ordained  a 
deacon,  rejefted  their  petition  till  the 
pope  granted  him  abfolutlon,  which  be- 
ing obtained,  he  returned,  and  the  em- 
peror reftored  the  two  crowns  to  him  : 
the  rebellion  continued  for  fome  time, 
but  was  at  length  fupprefled  ;  when  the 
prince  font  for  Ibmc  monks  of  his  own 
order,  and  giving  them  large  polTclfions, 
exalted  Cracow  to  an  archbifhopric ; 
after  this  king's  death,  the  nation  ap- 
pears to  have  been  in  an  unfettled  ilate, 
and  was  at  one  time  for  the  Ipace  of  215 
years  without  any  king. 

Primiflaus  havmgthe  crown  conferred 
upon  him,  was  foon  after  murdered,  and 
civil  diffenfions  arofe,  which  caufed  a  fa- 
mine and  peftilence  that  carried  off  great 
numbers  of  the  inhabitants  ;  and  the  go- 
vernment continued  in  an  unfettled  fiate 
till  1553,  when  Sigifm\:nd,  having  caufed 
the  lav.s  of  the  land  to  be  regiltered  in 
fix  books,  compelled  the  matter  of  the 
Teutonics  to  fwear  fealty  to  him,  and 
on  his  fubmiflion  created  him  duke  of 
Courland ;  after  which,  he  formed  a 
league  with  Denmark,  and  attacked  the 
Swedes,  which  caufed  the  Alufcovites  to 
invade  Livonia,  where  thcv  were  de- 
feated with  the  lofs  cf  5000  loaded  wag- 
gons, and  grca(  numbecs  9f  ;li«U  arm/

The  people  of  Dantzic  being  trouble- 
fome,  he  deprived  them  of  many  privi- 
leges they  had  been  accuftomed  to,  foon 
after  which  he  died,  and  Henry  duke  o£ 
Bouibuu,  brother  to  the  French  king, 
being  cleiled  to  luccced  him,  took  pol- 
felJion  of  the  kingdom  ;  but  being  in- 
formed of  his  brother's  deatn,  he  left 
Cracow  in  the  ni^hi,  which  caufed  the 
chancellor  and  his  friends  to  fix  upoa 
Maximilian  the  emperor ;  the  Turks  in- 
terfering at  this  time,  caufed  Stcphea 
prince  of  Tranfylvaniri  to  be  elc<5teJ

The  people  of  Dantzic  being  foon  after 
reconciled,  the  nation  wa^  at  peace  with- 
in itlclf  when  the  king  died. 

There  being  two  competitors  for  the 
crown,  Miximilun  duke  of  Acllria  and 
Sigifmund  fon  of  the  king  of  Suevia, 
Maximilian  was  taken  prifoncr,  and  after 
continuing  fo  the  fpace  of  two  years, 
was  rcleaied,  when  the  queen  of  Eng- 
land procured  a  peace  between  this  coun- 
try and  the  Turks. 

At  the  inlligation  of  the  iefuits,  the 
nobility  met  at  Lublyn,  where  the  king 
came  unexpcftedly,  and  caufed  fcvcral 
of  them  to  be  (lain,  which  occafioned  a 
tumuk  in  the  kingdom  for  the  fpace  of 
two  years,  when  the  nobles  became  re- 
conciled, and  the  Poles  took  Smolenlko 
from  the  Mufcovites. 

in  i6n,  the  king  confirmed  the  duke- 
dom of  PruHia  on  the  cledor  of  Bran- 
denburg, and  his  heirs  male  ;  ihe  next 
year  the  Poles  being  defeated  by  the 
Turks  in  Waiachia,  and  by  the  Mufco- 
vites in  K.ullia,  caufed  a  liedition,  and 
Gnefna  fell  a  prey  to  the  difaffefbed;

A.M.  2375  :  this  city  is  remarkable  for 
the  number  of  learned  men  and  brave 
foldiers  it  has  produced  ;  alfo  for  the 
numerous  revolutions  in  their  form  of 
government  :  it  was  governed  by  kings 
4S6  years,  then  by  perpetual  archons 
3  13  years,  till  the  city  was  taken  by  I>e- 
metrius  Pblyorcites  :  from  which  time, 
till  the  citizens  regained  their  liberty, 
was  a  fpace  of  43  years:  after  which  it 
became  lubjeft  to  the  Romans,  with  the 
other  part  of  Greece,  when  it  was 
governed  by  dukes,  till  the  Turks  ob- 
tained poffclfion  of  it :  fince  then  it  has 
gone  gradually  to  decay  ;  and  though  the 
buildings  demonftrate  its  former  magni- 
ficence, it  has  long  been  a  poor  place, 
and  nearly  dcUitute  of  inhabitants.

ing  words  : 

Mr.  Linley  Murray's  Grammar,  with  the  Exercifes  and  the  Key  in  a  feparate 
Tolume,  I  efteem  as  a  muft  excellent  performance.  I  think  it  fuperior  to  any 
work  of  that  nature  we  have  yet  had  ;  and  am  perfuaded  that  it  is,  by  much,  the 
beft  grammar  of  the  Englilh  language  extant.  On  fyntax,  in  particular,  he  has 
Ihown  a  wonderful  degree  of  acutenels  and  precifion,  in  afcertaining  the  propriety 
of  language,  and  in  rtftifying  the  numberlefs  errors  which  writers  are  apt  to  com- 
mit. Moft  ufeful  thefe  books  muft  certainly  be  to  all  who  are  applying  themfelves 
to  the  arts  of  compofition.  Odober^  1800.

There  is  no  department  of  Englifh  Grammar  overlooked  by  this  auttior,  and  each  is 
difculfed  with  that  due  regard  to  accuracy  on  the  one  hand,  and  fimplicity  on  the 
other,  which  the  bulinefs  of  inftru-ftion  requires.  7^he  remarks  on  profody  are  curious
