known iiitentioiu and coiiduft, furprlft J tliofc who heard oF 

 it, and fxcittd a lulpicion of uiilair doalinjir, very reproach- 

 ful to I3udmlh The will was coiUelUd and fct afide. To 

 this tranladioii, Pope, who has introduced BudgcU into 

 the Dunciad, and fatirized him in fevcral parts of his works, 

 evidently alludes in one of his epilUcs : 



" La UndgcU char(fe low Grub-ftrect on my quill, 

 And write whate'cr he pleafc e!;ccpt my will." 



At length, this unfortunate man, unable to (Irn^jrle any 

 longer witii his embarniU'cd circumftanccs and iiuUlible dif- 

 crace, adopted the refolnlion, llrcngtlicned by llic pride of 

 his temper, and his diflj-^-lief of revelation, to put an end to 

 his life; and, on May 4th, 1737, he took a boat ai Sunier- 

 fet llairs, and having- ordered the waterm;in to (lioot the 

 bridge, he threw himfclf overboard, with flones in his 

 pockets, and immediately funk. He had prcvioufly at- 

 tempted to perfuade a natural daughter to Ihare his fate ; 

 but (he, preferring a continued life to this fliocking mode of 

 terminating it, became afterv\-ards an a(3refs at Drury Lane 

 theatre. On the bureau of Budgcil was found a flip of pa- 

 per, on which were written thefc words: 



" What Cato did, and Addifon approv'd, 

 Cannot be wrong." 



But this charge againft Addifon is wholly groundlefs ; 

 for he attempted to obviate the ill efl'cas that might be fiip- 

 pofed to arifc from Cato's example by a dying difapprobatiou 

 ol his own conduft. Biog. Brit. 



BUDGERONS, m Gtogmphy. See Boeseroons. 



BUDGEROWS, in Sc-a Language, the denomination 

 given to travelhng boats, or pleafure barges, ufed by the Eu- 

 ropeans, as well as by the principal natives, in Bengal. On 

 the outfide, they are coiillruftcd like the Burs ; but with- 

 in, they are much better adapted for convenience. The 

 fpacc from the middle to the ftern is occupied by one or two 

 apartments, having windows on the fides, and from fix to 

 fcven feet high ; and fome of them 14 feet wide : the ftern- 

 moft of them is tlie bed room. Tliefe budgerows are of 

 various fizes ; from 25 to 60 feet in length, and longer. 

 They are rowed by a number of men, from 6 to 20, with 

 oars, which are long poles, to the end of which a little oval 

 board is nailed, in lieu of a leaf, and which do not llrike 

 the water crofs-ways, but obliquely backwards. They are 

 fleered by a large paddle or oar, extending 10 feet from the 

 ftern ; and forwards ftands a mad, upon which is hoifted a 

 fquarc fad, when they go before the wind ; and they have 

 hkewife a top-mall with a fquare top-fail for fine weather. 

 When they have a fide wind, thev drive down athwart the 

 ilream, not having a keel or timbjr enough under water, as 

 they are flat bottomed, and draw fcarcely a foot, or a foot 

 and a half of water. Some of them draw from four to five 

 feet. The EngliOi gentlemen in Bengal have much im- 

 proved the budgerows, by introducing a broad flat floor, 

 Iquare fterns, and broad bows. They are thus rendered 

 much fafer, fail near, and keep their wind ; and there is no 

 danger attending their takmg the ground. Bcfides, they 

 are adapted for car^'ing more fail. The motion acquired 

 by the oars of a large budgerow hardly exceeds eight miles 

 a day at ordinary times. A gentleman iu his budgerow is 

 ufua ly attended by a '< pulwah" for the accommodation of 

 the kitchen, and a Imall boat, called a " paunchway " for 

 conveying him eitlier on ihore, or on board, as it often hap. 

 pens that the budgerow cannot come clofe to the place where 

 ne wilhcs to land, or to embark.

found chiefly in the vaft waters, Lough Neagh, in Ireland. 

 Thefe are fomttimes taken of thirty pounds weight each. 



Tiie budhurs appear to be nothing more than the common 

 trout, Salmo Fario, that have attained to this vail fize, of which 

 we have inllanccs in other waters befides that of Lough 

 Neagh. A trout, to the full as large as the budhurs arc in 

 common, namely of twenty four pounds weight, was captured 

 very lately in the river Thames nearHampton. Don. Brit. Fifli.

BUDNiEANS, in Ecchjlaftkd Hijlory, 3 feft of Polifl,

 other men, in a natural way. Budnsus, after having' pro-

 ciples ; but afterwards abandoning his pecuhar fentiments
