where an area was feued from the magistrates of Edinburgh, and a commodious house and tavern built upon it.

GOLIUS (James), a celebrated professor of Arabic and the mathematics at Leyden, descended from a very honorable family, and born at the Hague in 1596. He studied at Leyden, under Erpenius; and, having acquired the learned languages, travelled into Asia and Africa. He was esteemed and honored by Muley Zidan, emperor of Morocco and the grand signior. He brought home many MSS. to Leyden; and in 1624 succeeded Erpenius. As he had been an eye-witness of the wretched state of Christianity in the Mahommedan countries, he endeavoured to procure a new edition of the New Testament, in the original language, with a translation into the vulgar Greek, by an Archimandrite; and, as some of these Christians use the Arabic tongue in divine service, he also dispersed among them an Arabic translation of the Confession of the Protestants, with the Catechism and Liturgy. He was likewise appointed interpreter to the states for the Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and other eastern languages. He published, 1. The life of Tamerlane, in Arabic. 2. The history of the Saracens, written by Elmacin. 3. Alferganus's elements of Astronomy, with a new version, and learned commentaries. 4. An excellent Arabic lexicon. 5. A Persian Dictionary. He died in 1667.

GOLL, n. s. Corrupted, as Skinner thinks, from Sax. pal or pol, whence pealdan, to handle or manage. Hands; paws; claws. Used in contempt, and obsolete.

They set hands, and Mopsa put her golden golls among them; and blind fortune, that saw not the colour of them, gave her the pre-eminence. Sidney.

GOLLEN, or GELLA, a strait of the Baltic, between Stralsund and Rugen. On the north it is gradually filling up with sand, but is extending eastward.

GOLTZIUS (Henry), a famous engraver and painter, born in 1558, at Mulbreck, in the duchy of Juliers. He was taught engraving by Theodore Van Cuerenhert. He travelled through Germany into Italy; visited Bologna, Florence, Naples, Venice, and Rome. In this journey he adopted a singular disguise, making his servant pass for his master, while he himself appeared as a servant, kept by the other merely for his skill in painting. Under this disguise he enjoyed life in all its variety. On his return he settled at Haerlem, where he died in 1617, aged fifty-nine. No man ever surpassed, and few have equalled, him in the command of the graver and freedom of execution. He copied the style of Albert Durer, Lucas of Leyden, and other old masters, with astonishing exactness. He engraved several of his own designs on wood, in chiaro-scuro. Of his prints, which are very numerous, the following are the most celebrated: 1. Six large upright plates, styled his master-pieces. These he engraved, to show that he was perfectly capable of imitating the styles of Durer, Lucas, and others,

whose works were then-held in higher estimation than his own: for he had adopted a new manner, which he pursued because he thought it superior. It is said that, with one of them, the Circumcision, which he smoked to give it the more plausible air of antiquity, he actually deceived some of the first connoisseurs of that age; by one of whom it was bought for an original engraving of Albert Durer. The subjects of these plates are, The Annunciation of the Virgin; Her meeting with Elizabeth; the Nativity; the Circumcision; the Adoration of the Wise Men; the Holy Family. 2. The Judgment of Midas; and, 3, The Venetian Ball (both large plates lengthwise), from Theodore Bernard. 4. The Boy and Dog, a middling sized upright plate, from a design of his own; an admirable print. 5. The Necromancer, a middling sized upright oval print, in chiaro-scuro. 6. Night in her Chariot, the same.

GOLTZIUS (Hubert), a learned German, born in Venlo, in Gueldres, in 1526. He travelled through Germany, France, and Italy, to make collections of medals, &c. He was the author of several excellent works, in which he was so accurate, that he had them printed at his own house, under his own correction, and even engraved the plates with his own hand. Among these his Imperatorum fere omnium vivæ imagines, a J. Cæsare ad Carolum V. ex veteribus numismatibus, is an admirable work. He died at Bruges, in 1583, aged fifty-seven.

GOMBROON, or BUNDER ABBAS, a celebrated sea-port of Laristan, in Persia, on a bay of the gulf of Ormus. Its trade was formerly extensive, being the principal port of all the south of Persia. The customs now do not amount to more than 20,000 rupees annually. It is fortified with double walls, and is subject to the imaum of Mascat.

GOMER, in Scripture history, the son of Japheth (Gen. x. 2), and, according to Josephus, father to the people of Galatia. The ancient inhabitants of that country were called Gomares before the Galatians seized possession of it. The Chaldee places Gomer in Africa; Bochart in Phrygia, because Phrygia, in Greek, has the same signification (a coal) as Gomer in Hebrew and Syriac. Others are of opinion that the ancient Čimbri, or Cimmerians, sprung from Gomer, and probably from them the Welsh, called Cymri. It is not improbable that Gomer, or the Gomerites, his descendants, peopled likewise Germany and Gaul; the name German not differing much from Gomerian. Cluvier conjecturing that the ancient Celtica comprehended Illyria, Germany, Gaul, Spain, and the British Isles, as all these people anciently spoke the same language, farther supposes that Gomer, or his family, peopled the countries in Asia, between the Paropamisus and mount Imaus, and between the confluence of the Oxus and Oby; whence these people are called Gomares by Ptolemy and Mela.

GOMER, a county of Hungary, between those of Liptau and Borsod, and extending along the rivers Rima and Sajo. The county of Kis-Hont was annexed to it in 1802; the two together containing an area of 1610 square miles, and 144,000 inhabitants. Its most remarkable mountains are

the Ochsenberg and Szinetz, connected with the Carpathians. Here are found the best iron, and at Theissholtz the only natural magnets in Hungary. The bread is also celebrated. At Agtelek there is also a curious cavern. The town has about 2000 inhabitants, and is ninety-two miles N. N. E. of Budah.

GOMERA, one of the most fertile of the Canary Isles, consists properly of a lofty mountain, the upper part of which is in winter covered with snow. It is about twenty miles long, and ten wide, but cultivation is confined to the coast; the centre being a great forest. The capital, of this name, is situated on the east coast, and has a good harbour. Population about 7000. Eighteen miles south-west of Teneriffe. Long. 17° 8' W., lat. 28° 6' N.

GOMPHRENA, globe amaranth, eternal or everlasting flower, in botany, a genus of the digynia order, and pentandria class of plants; natural order fifty-fourth, miscellaneæ. CAL. colored; the exterior one triphyllous, or diphyllous, with two carinated connivent leaflets; the nectarium cylindrical, with ten teeth: CAPS. monospermous. There are ten species; only one of which is commonly cultivated in our gardens,

viz. the

G. globosa. It has an upright stalk branching all around, two or three feet high, garnished with oval, lanceolate, opposite leaves; and every branch and side-shoot terminated by a close globular head of flowers, composed of numerous, very small starry florets, closely covered with dry scaly calices placed imbricatim, persistent and beautifully colored purple, white, red, or striped and variegated. The flowers themselves are so small and closely covered with scaly calices, that they scarcely appear. The numerous closely placed scaly coverings, being of a dry firm consistence, colored and glittering, collected into a compact round head, about the size of an ordinary cherry, make a fine appearance. They are annual plants, natives of India; and require artificial heat to raise and forward them to a proper growth, so that they may flower in perfection, and produce ripe seed. They flower from June to November; and if the flowers are gathered when at full growth, and placed out of the sun they will retain their beauty several months.

GOMUT, a navigable river of Bengal, which traverses the district of Tippera from east to west, and falls into the Megna, some miles to the north of Chand poor. It is navigable at all sea

GONDAR, the capital of Abyssinia, seated on the top of a hill of considerable height, and surrounded by a valley of that name. It contains about 10,000 families in times of peace. VOL. X.

At the west end of the town is the king's palace; formerly a structure of considerable consequence. See ABYSSINIA. The hill on which the town is built rises in the middle of the valley, through which run two rivers: one, the Kakha, coming from the mountain of the Sun, flanks all the south of the town; while the other called the Angrab, falling from the mountain Waggora, encompasses it on the north and north-east: both unite at the bottom of the hill about a quarter of a mile south of the town. Upon the bank opposite to Gondar, on the other side of the river, is a town of the Mahommedans. These places with the province around are now in the hands of the Galla.

GONDI (John Francis Paul), cardinal de Retz, was the son of Philip Emanuel de Gondi, count de Joigny, lieutenant-general, &c., and was born in 1613. From a doctor of the Sorbonne, he first became coadjutor to his uncle John Francis de Gondi, whom he succeeded in 1654 as archbishop of Paris; and was finally made a cardinal. He has drawn his own character in his memoirs with impartiality. From the greatest degree of debauchery, and still languishing under its consequences, he made himself admired as a popular preacher. At the age of twentythree he was at the head of a conspiracy against the life of cardinal Richelieu; he precipitated the parliament into cabals, and the people into sedition and was, says M. Voltaire, the first bishop who carried on a civil war without the mask of religion. However, he was at last obliged to quit France; and he lived the life of a vagrant exile for five or six years, till the death of his great enemy cardinal Mazarin, when he returned. After assisting in the conclave at Rome, which chose Clement IX., he retired from the world. Voltaire says, that in his youth he lived like Catiline, and in his old age like Atticus. He died in 1679. He wrote his memoirs in his retirement; the best edition of which is that of Amsterdam, 4 vols. 12mo.,

subjection, and dissuaded him from retiring to England, or Rochelle. He was killed by a cannon-ball at the siege of Epernay, on the 26th of July, 1592. He used to carry a pocketbook, in which he wrote down every thing remarkable, which gave rise to a proverb at court; when a person happened to say any thing remarkable, 'You have found that in Biron's pocket-book.'

GOOD'Y-SHIP, n. s. gaudeo; Gr. ynov; Heb. chada. The adjective good, which is the radix whence all the others are derived, stands opposite to evil of every kind, whether physical or moral; it is indiscriminately applied with or without other words as expressive of whatever, in person, condition, or prospect, appears to be fit, beneficial, pure, wholesome, entire, true, desirable, or gratifying: the modifications are consequently very numerous, but all include the primary meaning: this is applicable to the dispositions of moral agents or the qualities of inanimate objects. Goody and goodman are familiar appellations of civility, generally ironical
