nuiTe of all things. Harmoiiia was fuppofed to have been 

 a pcrfonagc, fmin whom all knowledge was derived. Ac- 

 cordingly, litrmon, or Harmonia, was a deity to whom 

 the firll writing is afcribed ; and the fame is faid of Her- 

 mes. Cadmus is faid not only to have brought letters into 

 Greece, but to liave been the inventor of tliem ; from whence 

 we may fairly conclude, that under the character of Her- 

 nion, Hermes, Taut, Tliotii, and Cadmus, one perfon is 

 alluded to. The deity called by the Greeks Harmonia, was 

 introduced among the Canaanites very early by people 

 from Egypt; and was worlhipped in Sidon, and the adja- 

 cent country by the name of Baal-Hermon. Eurcpa was 

 likewife a deity; the fame, according to Lucian, as Allarte, 

 who was worfliipped at Hierapolis in Syria. Cadmus, fays 

 Bryant, may principally be ellecmed Ham, who by his pof- 

 terity was looked up to as the fun, and worlhipped under 

 his titles ; a circunillauce, which was commt n to all, who 

 were ftyled Baalim. His name favours this co'.^jeflure; for 

 according to the etymological fyilem of this writer, the fun 

 was ftyled Achad, and Cadmus is a compound of Achad- 

 Ham, rendered by the Greeks Acadamus and Academus, 

 and contrafted Cadmus. Upon the whole, if inftead of one 

 perfon Cadmus, traverfuig fo much ground, and introducing 

 the rites of his country at Rhodes, Samos, Thera, Thafus, 

 Samothrace, and building fo many cities in Libya, wc fup- 

 pofe thofe things to have been done by colonies, who were 

 ftyled Cadmians ; all will be very rigin, and tlic credibility 

 of the hillory not difputed. Many difficulties will be fulved; 

 and great light will be thrown upon the mythology of the 

 ancients. The ftory then of Cadmus and Europa relates to 

 people from Egypt and Syria, who rvcnt abroad at different 

 times, and fettled in various parts. They are faid to have 

 been determined in their place of refidence by an ox or cow; 

 which denotes that they were direcled by an oracle; and 

 this leads us to the Egyptian Apis. The Cadmeans, ac- 

 cording to Bryant, were a two-fold colony, which came 

 both from Egypt and Syria ; from Egypt fnft, and then 

 from Syria and Canaan. In their progrefs welfvvard, they 

 fettled in Cyprus, Rhodes, Samos, Lefbos, and Thrace ; 

 alfo in Eubo;.!, Attica, and Boeotia. In proctfs of time 

 they formed fcttlements in other parts ; particularly in Epi- 

 rus and Illyria ; and occupied fome confidcrable provinces 

 in Italy, as high up as the Padus. Wherever they pafled 

 or fettled, they left behind them a variety of memorials ; 

 and efpecially fuch as related to their rites and worfhip. See

Cadmus Milesius, in Biography, an ancient hiftorian, 

 who, according to Moreri, lived about the time of the Tro- 

 jan war. Pliny, in fpcaking of the invention of things, in- 

 forms us, (lib. vii. C.56.) that Pherecydes Syrus taught 

 the compofition of difcourfes in profe, during the reign of 

 Cyrus ; and Cadmus Milefius to write hiftory : and in an- 

 other place (lib. V. 0.29.) he fays, that Cadmus Milefius 

 was the firft who wrote in profc. He compofed, " The 

 Ai'tiquities of Miletus and of all Ionia," in 4 books : a 

 work on this fubjetl, mentioned by Dionyfius of Halicar- 

 naffus, and attributed to this hiilorian, was thought by 

 the bell judges, as he informs us, to have been fuppofititious. 

 — Another Cadmus, alfo a Milefian, was, according, to 

 Suidas, much younger tha:i the former ; and wrote " The 

 Hiftory of Attica," in 16 books.

CADOGAN, William, in Biography, educated at 

 Oriel College, Oxford, took his degree of maP.er of arts in 

 '755 » 3nd the fame year was made bachelor and dc-ftor in 

 medicine. He had previondy, viz. in i-j-^o, publillied a 

 fmall treatife on the nurfing and management of children, 

 which was much efteemed, and contributed towa4d abolirti- 

 ing fomc improper treatment, both in feeding and drciTing 

 infants. They were lirll adopted by the managers of the 

 Foundling Holpital, and by degrees became general. His 

 next publication was " Dilfertations on the Gout, and all 

 Chronical Difeafes," 1764, Svo. ; wiitten in a popul.,i- 

 manner, and fo generally read, that feveral large imprefrions 

 were fold of it. The three principal caufes or fources of 

 gout, he fays, are indolence, vexation, and intemperance. 

 The book was much cavilled at, and was anfwered by two 

 or three diflerent writers. It is, on the whole, well written, 

 and the regulations given for the conduft of gouty pa- 

 tients, with the view of mitigating the iit, and preventing 

 frequent relapfes, or returns of the complaint, are judi- 

 cious, and well deferving attention. He was fellow of the 

 college of phyficians, and, which is by no means ufual, 

 fpoke two Harveian Orations, the one in the year 1764, 

 the other in 1793. They were both publifhcd. He died 

 at a very advanced age, at his houfe in George-ftrcet, Han- 

 over-fqiiare, April 26, 1797.
