ordnance. On peace with Spain being proposed, Essex insisted that the queen should listen to no terms of accommodation, and pressed his views on the council with considerable haughtiness: when his guardian, lord Burleigh, is said to have drawn a prayer-book from his pocket, from which he read to Essex the too prophetic warning 'Men of blood shall not live out half their days.' On the death of Burleigh he succeeded him in the chancellorship of Cambridge: and soon after, at a private council which was called to determine upon a proper governor to be sent to Ireland, he had a serious difference with the queen. On the dispute becoming warm, Essex, unable to persuade his sovereign, is said, contemptuously to have turned his back upon her; when, provoked at his insolence, she bade him 'retire and be hanged,' accompanying her command with a blow on the side of his face. The favorite, thrown off his guard, instantly clasped his sword, and swore he would not put up with the affront. He withdrew in anger, and for some time seemed to set the queen's displeasure at defiance, but at length he submitted, and was so far restored to favor, that he was himself appointed governor of Ireland, the cursedest of all islands,' as he still ventured to call it in his letters to the queen. In his absence his enemies at court were not idle: he was currently reported to have reflected on the queen's age and infirmities, and to have become secretly connected with the king of Scotland. He soon, therefore, resolved to return to vindicate himself: and, arriving unexpectedly at the court, threw himself at Elizabeth's feet, entreating her protection. She received him with apparent cordiality, but he was soon after committed to private custody, and the exercise of his public employments suspended. It was alleged that he had indulged himself in some freedoms of speech respecting the queen, which she was neither likely to forget or pardon: one was, 'That she grew old and cankered, and that her mind was become as crooked as her carcass.' It was also said that, in his correspondence with the king of Scotland, the object was to procure a public declaration of his right of succession to the English throne, and that he would have engaged his friend, lord Mountjoy, deputy of Ireland, to bring over troops to compel that measure. Still he sufficiently possessed the personal favor of Elizabeth to have been able, with a prudent temper, to overcome all his difficulties; but he rashly encouraged, if he did not originate, a conspiracy to seize the queen's person, and remove his enemies from her councils. Elizabeth however received tidings of the plot, and sent Egerton, the lord-keeper, and other persons of distinction, to expostulate with him. These he had the rashness to detain as prisoners, whilst the earl and his friends went into the city (where he flattered himself he was popular) to raise the inhabitants. But here he was bitterly disappointed; instead of meeting with friends, he was proclaimed a traitor, and the streets were barricadoed against the return of his party. Making his way to the river, therefore, he returned to his house in the Strand in boats, but was soon invested by the queen's forces, and obliged, with all his principal adherents, among whom was the earl of Southampton, to make an unconditional surrender. Ho was now committed to the Tower, found guilty by a jury of peers, and received sentence of death. The queen is said long to have hesitated as to signing the warrant for his execution, but was persuaded by his enemies that he wished to die, and, considering his silence insulting or obstinate, she at length signed it, and the earl was executed within the Tower on the 25th of February, 1601. A story rejected by Dr. Lingard, but which rests on what most others of our historians have thought tolerably good evidence, is told concerning a ring sent by the earl to the queen during his confinement; which ring, in the height of his favor, he had received as a pledge, on the return of which, she would pardon any future offence. He is said to have entrusted this ring to the countess of Nottingham, his relation, but the wife of his enemy, the admiral, who would not suffer her to deliver it, by which the queen's clemency was frustrated. It is added that, upon her death-bed, the countess having confessed the secret to the queen, the latter was greatly agitated, and told her 'That God might forgive her, but she never could.' Essex suffered in the thirty-fourth year of his age and having exhibited together with many wild, ambitious, and violent traits of character, much that was estimable, both in public and private life. He was of an open, brave, and generous disposition: of a cultivated mind; and the decided friend of literature. He gave an estate to the ungrateful Bacon, patronised Wotton, and erected a monument to Spenser. ESSEX (Robert Devereux, third earl of), son of the preceding, and born in 1592, was at the period of his father's death, or soon after, entered at Merton College, Oxford, under the care of the warden, Henry Saville, who had been his father's particular friend; and James I., almost immediately upon his succession to the throne, restored this youth to almost all his hereditary honors. He already evinced his father's high spirit, in a quarrel which he had with prince Henry. Some dispute arose between them at tennis; when the prince calling his companion the son of a traitor,' he retaliated by giving him a severe blow with his racket; and the king was obliged to interfere to restore peace. At the age of fourteen young Essex was betrothed to lady Frances Howard, who was still younger: but he immediately set out on his travels, and during his absence the affections of his wife were estranged from him, and fixed upon the king's favorite, Carr, afterwards earl of Somerset. The consequence was a suit instituted against the husband for impotency, in which the king, to his disgrace, interfered, and which ended in a divorce. The earl of Essex now retired to his country seat, and spent some years in a rural life. Being wearied however of a state of inaction, he joined the earl of Oxford in the year 1620, in a military expedition to the Palatinate, where they served with companies of their own raising, under Sir Horatio Vere. In the following year they served in Holland, under prince Maurice. The next winter they returned to England, and lord Essex appeared in parliament in the ranks of the opposition. He was of course not favorably received at court, and shortly after we find him commanding a regiment, raised in England for the United States. On the accession of Charles I., he was employed as vice-admiral in an unsuccessful expedition against Spain. In 1626 he made a third campaign in the Low Countries, and shortly after married the daughter of Sir William Paulet. He now courted popularity among the Puritans, and the officers of the army. He was however still employed by the king in various services; but, when the measures of that monarch forced the court to retire from the metropolis, lord Essex pleaded his obligation to stay and attend in his place as peer of the realm. This fixed him in opposition to the king, and in July, 1642, he accepted the post of general of the parliamentary army and opposed the king in person at the battle of Edge-hill. After this he was occasionally successful in other instances, but, though treated with external respect, he had not the entire confidence of the ruling party, and the self-denying ordinance (see CROMWELL) threw him out of the command. Unwilling, however, to lose his services altogether, the parliament voted that he should be raised to a dukedom, and be allowed £10,000 per annum, to support that dignity. Neither of these resolutions was ried into effect, and the earl died suddenly, September 14th, 1646, when the parliament directed a public funeral for him, at Westminster Abbey. With him the title of Essex became extinct. car ESSEX, one of the eastern maritime counties of England, is bounded on the east by the German Ocean; on the west by the rivers Lea and Stort, with a part of Hertfordshire; on the north by the river Stour, and part of Cambridgeshire; and on the south by the Thames. Its extent from east to west is about sixty miles, from north to south fifty; its circumference about 226 miles, containing nearly 1,240,000 acres. Its divisions are two-fold: natural and artificial, the first consisting of continent and islands; the latter of hundreds, towns, parishes, and hamlets. The islands lie bordering partly on the German Ocean, and partly on the Thames. The first and most valuable to the east is the island of Mersey, eight or ten miles south of Colchester. The islands towards the south-east, in the hundred of Rochford, are Foulness, Wallasea, Potten, Havengore, and New England, contiguous to each other. The remaining island, going towards the south, is Canvey, surrounded by branches of the river Thames, and situated nearly at its mouth. There are fourteen hundreds, five smaller districts called half-hundreds, and one royal liberty, containing in all 415 parishes, with twenty-one market towns. This county is in the diocese of London, and the province of Canterbury, and is included in the home circuit. It received its name from its situation, in contradistinction to the districts occupied by the West and South Saxons. They called it East Deaxa and East Dexscire, which were changed by the Normans into Exssesa. At the time of the Roman invasion it was inhabited by the people subsequently called Trinobantes. On the subdivision of this island by the Romans this county formed part of the province named Flavia Cæsariensis. In the Heptarchy it formed a distinct kingdom. In the popular sense of the word, the climate of Essex is mild and genial. Its northerly and easterly winds, however, are very pernicious both to animals and vegetables; and agues are prevalent, notwithstanding the practice of draining, and the highly improved cultivation of the lands. The surface is generally very flat and open. Indeed, Essex composes part of that tract of country on the eastern side of England, which forms the largest connected space of level ground in the island; not one lofty eminence or rocky ridge being found in several contiguous counties. The sur face of this county, however, is not totally flat, it having many gentle hills and dales. The most level tracts are those of the southern and eastern hundreds. The most beautiful part of Essex, without the addition of a river, is in the liberty of Havering. From Romford to Brentwood is a fine country; but the more striking scenes are not within view of the road. From Dagenham to the earl of St. Vincent's, who commands a portion of the fine park of Mr. Towers, the country is truly beautiful. From Thorndon, Lord Petre's, to Epping, is all nearly of this description, a perpetual variety of undulation thickly wooded with much fine timber. The fields generally offer a verdure refreshing to the eye; and gentlemen's houses are thickly strewed in every direction. Between Hockley and Raleigh there is a very beautiful view of a rich vale, bounded by distant higher grounds; the whole, a scene to the eye of rich cultivation well wooded Landon Hill commands the greatest and finest view in the county the Thames is seen distinctly for many miles, and the distant hills of Kent terminate the view with an interesting outline; it exceeds the view from Danbury, though that also is a striking one. The high lands at Purfleet, formed by a chalk cliff, without the intervention of marsh, offer a scene not common on the Essex side of the Thames: it is full of business, shipping, and animation, always an agreeable prospect when mixed with rural features. South End, now a favorite watering place, depends for beauty, as the scenes on tide rivers necessarily must, on the moment of view being high or low water. The river here is five miles wide; the highlands of Sheppey and the coast of Kent are distinctly seen; and opposite is the mouth of the Medway. The cliff, on which the terrace at South End is built, is high enough to command the whole, and the broken woodland shore that sinks to the water's edge gives to it an outline of foliage. A finer country is no where to be seen than the banks of the river Stour from Shoebury to Harwich: the vale through which the river glides has great variety of breadth and features; and the bounding hills in all directions offer rich scenes of cultivation; towns, villages, steeples, farms, and woods are intermixed, and form a succession of landscapes extremely pleasing. The animated as well as decorated scene at Mistley, is at high water, singularly beautiful. From the summit of Jarvis Hill, near Barking, a most delightful prospect is obtained over the river Thames, which is here seen to singular advantage, spreading its expansive bosom for many miles in extent, con tinually enlivened by the numerous vessels constantly navigating this important portion of the river, while the scene is rendered truly enchanting by the broken range on the coast of Kent, the whole undulating surface, clothed with the softest verdure, and bespangled with flourishing villages, forming a sylvan back-ground to the view. a considerable distance. There are several smaller cuts in different parts. The agricultural produce consists of live stock, chiefly calves, for which Essex has long been proverbial; all sorts of grain and hops, coriander, teazel, caraway and saffron. Potatoes are also grown to a great extent. This county returns eight members to parliament; viz. two for the county, two for Maldon, two for Harwich, and two for Colchester.

He sat in judgment on Sir Thomas More, Clayey soils are found in three patches of land, and bishop Fisher, in the reign of Henry the largest of which is on the borders of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, between Saffron Walden west; and a little beyond Tilbury east, in this county; and from near Lindsell south, to beyond Sturmer north, containing 222 square miles. The fertile loams run along the entire borders of Kent, the Thames mouth, and the German Ocean as far as Harwich, making several indentations into the interior of the county on the eastern side. They contain 255 square miles. The chalky district, forty-five square miles, is an unshapen tract, west north and south of Saffron Walden, particularly west of that town. Mr. Young, in his Agricultural Report, has denominated that tract of land which surrounds Colchester in nearly a circular form, embracing 255 square miles, a turnip loam. It is a dry sandy and gravelly loam, perfectly well adapted to the culture of that plant, with but few exceptions. An extensive district, containing 156 square miles, consists of a crop and fallow clay. It is a triangular tract, the base of which extands from near the northern extremity of Epping Forest, south-west, to Saffron Walden north. This is a strong, wet, heavy, reddish, or brown loam, upon a whitish clay marl bottom; adhesive, which will yield nothing without draining, and very little with it. Speaking of the soil of this county generally, Speed says, that it is rich and fruitful, though in some places sandy and barren; yet so that it never frustrates the husbandman's hopes, or fills not the hands of her harvest laborers; but in some parts so fertile, that after three years glebe of saffron, the land, for eighteen more, will yield plenty of barley, without either dung or other fattening earth. This coloring is certainly too high for modern times. But all its grain is of good quality, and its wheat obtains the best prices at Mark Lane. This county is distinguished for its skilful agriculture. The principal rivers are the Colne, the Blackwater or Pont, the Chelmer, Crouch, Ingerbourn, Roding, and Cam. The Thames, Lea, Stort, and Stour, also contribute to the irrigation and fertility of this county. The principal harbour on the coast is that of Harwich, situated on a tongue of land opposite to the united mouths of the Stour and the Orwell. The greater part of Essex is well watered by the many brooks and rivers which run through its vales. The canal from Malden to Chelmsford is of considerable utility to the adjacent villages, and even to parishes at VIII.-Richard de Badew, the original founder of Clare Hall, Cambridge, born at Badow, towards the close of the thirteenth century.-Dr. Thomas Bourchier, archbishop of Canterbury.

Few minerals are found in Essex; and there are hardly any quarries or masses of rocks. It was formerly noted for woollen manufactures of various descriptions; but of late they have been on the decline. Baize, however, and sacking, are still manufactured in various parts; artificial slates are also made. Near the metropolis large calico-printing manufactories are established; and on the Lea there are mills for making sheet lead. The plaiting of straw has also been introduced with success. A considerable proportion of the inhabitants are employed in the oyster fishery. About 200 vessels, of from eight to fifty tons, are engaged in dredging near the mouths of the Crouch, the Colne, the Blackwater, and in other parts; and, independent of the supplies sent to the metropolis, oysters are exported to the continent: it is calculated that 20,000 bushels are taken annually. See COLCHester. In Foulness Island there are salt water stews for various kinds of fish; and formerly there seem to have been several fish ponds for fresh water fish. In the marshy parts there are decoys for wild ducks. Not having before viewed a decoy in the taking season,' says the author of the Agricultural Survey of Essex, 'I had not remarked the practice of each person taking a piece of lighted turf stuck on a table fork in his hand, to approach the decoy; as the wild ducks, it is said, would certainly smell the person without this precaution, and immediately quit the pond. I found the expenses of this decoy (at Mersey) considerable; two men who attend it, who are paid above £100 a year; repairs, nets, rent, &c., amount in all to about £300 a year. Ducks are sometimes so low as 14s. a dozen, The contrivance for taking dun-birds was new to me. At the decoy for them, near Ipswich, there are a series of high poles, to which the nets are attached for taking them in their flight; and these poles are permanent. At this Mersey decoy, to which this bird resorts in large quantities as well as ducks, the net poles are suspended when not at work.' Antiquities, both of the Roman and the ancient Britons, abound in Essex; such as encampments, tesselated pavements, roads, &c., and there are besides many interesting architectural remains, both military and ecclesiastical.

In the American war he was a vice-admiral, and behaved gallantly at the taking of Grenada.
