Tot;A, ill jinliquity, a wide woollen gown, or mantle, 

 without lleeves, tiled among the Romans, both by men and 

 women. 



In procefsof time, none wore the toga but lewd women : 

 whence tiiat of Horace, in matrona, aiicilh, peccefve togata. 

 Lib. i. fat. ii. vcr. 63. , 



The toga was of divers colours, and admitted of various 

 ornaments : there was that called toga domejlica, worn within 

 doors ; toga foraiJIs, worn abroad ; tnga militaris, ufed by 

 foldiers, tucked up after the Gabinian fafhion ; and toga 

 p'icia, or triumphalis, wherein the viftorious triumphed : this 

 was embroidered with palms : that without any ornaments 

 was called toga pura. 



The togapiaa, &c. was an ancient habit of the Etrufcans, 

 and not brought to Rome till after Tarquinius Prifcus had 

 fubdued the twelve ftates of that nation. 



The toga was fometimes worn open, and called aperta ; 

 fometimes girt or tucked up, called pritc'inda ; and this 

 cinAure or girding, again, according to Sigonius, was of 

 three kinds ; laxior, or the loofe kind, where the tail trailed 

 on the ground ; adjlrinior, the clofe kind, wherein it did 

 not reach fo low as the feet ; and Gahinia, where one of the 

 flcirts or lappets was girt round the body. 



Sigonius diftinguiihes the feveral togae, or Roman gowns, 

 into pura, Candida, pulla, picla, pnetexta, trabea, and 

 paludamentum. See PuiETEXTA, Paludamentum, &c. 



The toga pura was alfo called virilis. Kennet's Rom.

Tog E, Jus, or privilege of the toga, was the fame with 

 the privilege of a Roman citizen, i. e. the right of wearing 

 a Roman habit, and of taking, as tliey explain it, fire and 

 water through the Roman empire.

TOGGENBURG, in Geography, a county of Swit- 



T O I 



zerland, dependent on the abbey of St. Gal, bounded on 

 the N. by the territory of St. Gal, on the E. by the 

 canton of Appenzell, on the S. by the county of Sar- 

 gans and the territory of Culler, and on tlK W. by the 

 canton of Zurich. In its natural quality it rcfomblco Ap- 

 penzell and the other cantons, and, being full of fertile 

 Alps, abounds in numerous breeds of cattle. Till the year 

 1436, this county had its own counts; the laft of whom 

 carried his indulgence to his vaflals fo far, as to grant them 

 fuch privileges as nearly amounted to a Hate of abfolnte 

 frCL-dom : accordingly, on his demife in the above year, they 

 entered into a clofe aUiance with the cantons of Schwcitz and 

 Claris, which alliance was confirmed in 1440. Afterwards, 

 the county defcended to the barons of Raron ; but, in 

 1468, they fold it to Ulrich VI II. abbot of St. Gal, who, 

 in 1 469, entered into a perpetual league with the cantons of 

 Schweitz and Claris, and hkewife gave his fanftion to the 

 former compaft between the inhabitants of the county and 

 the faid cantons. In the beginning of the eighteenth cen- 

 tury, the Toggenburgers, relenting the illegal and oppref- 

 five exatlions of abbot Leodegariiis, applied for affiftance 

 to their allies, who readily granted it; and, in 1707, Zu- 

 rich and Bern alfo declared, that they would maintain the 

 county of Toggenburg in the fecure enjoyment of its rights 

 and liberties, againft all illicit violence whatfoever. On this 

 the people began to affert their rights, and, in 1707, in a 

 folemn landefgemeine, held at Watweil, renewed their fede- 

 ral oath, and erefted three councils, named the great, leffer, 

 and privy, which are compofed of an equal number of mem- 

 bers of both fefts. The intelline commotions here conti- 

 nued however to increafe, till, in 17 12, they broke out into 

 open war, in which Zurich and Bern fided with the county, 

 and Schweitz and Claris with the abbot. In 1718, at 

 Baden, in the Argau, an accommodation, confirming the 

 liberties of the county, was brought about between the 

 new abbot and the cantons of Bern and Zurich. Purfuant 

 to this peace, the abbot and prince of St. Gal both is, and 

 bears the title of, natural fovei-eign, and territorial lord of 

 the county of Toggenburg ; and the people are to take the 

 acciiftomed oath to him, and to pay him fuitable fervices, 

 but without any violation of their rights and liberties.
