 the bridge : for beyond the caiUe there is another part, 

 equally ftupendous with the firft.

TUAM, a poft-town of the county of Galway, Ireland, 

 which is represented in the " New Traveller's Guide for 

 Ireland," as " a large, populous, vpell-built town ;" but 

 which Dr. Beaufort calls, tJiough an archiepifcopal fee, a 

 very poor city. It may have been improved fince the pub- 

 lication of Dr. Beaufort's work, but the other account rauft 

 be received with caution, efpecially when it fpcaks of " bye- 

 lanes and alleys thickly inhabited by an induflrious populace 

 and working mechanics." It may, however, liave a con- 

 fiderable retail trade, and may have derived great advantage 

 from the introduftion of the linen manufadlure into its neigh- 

 bourhood. The archbiihop's palace is a fpacious, venerable 

 llrufture. The cathedral is a neat, but not extenfive, edi- 

 fice, which ferves alfo for the parifti-church. Tuam loft its 

 privilege of being reprefented in parliament at the Union. 

 It is 93 miles W. from Dubhn, and 16 miles N. by E. from 

 Galway. 



TuAM, an archiepifcopal fee in Ireland, being the loweft 

 in dignity of the four, and having the fmalleft jurifdiftion ; 

 the number of benefices in this province being only 87, 

 whilft in Armagh there are 419, in Dublin 252, and in 

 Caftiel 362. The fee of Tuam contains the greateft number 

 of acres of any fee in Ireland, extending over a great part 

 of the coimties of Galway and Mayo, and including a part 

 of Rofcommon ; yet fuch is the want of cultivation, and 

 the poverty of the country, that it was found neceffary to 

 unite the bilhopric of Ardagh in the province of Armagh, 

 to enable the archbifliop to fupport the dignity of his ita- 

 tion. The number of parifhes is 89, forming 23 benefices, 

 and having 24 churches. The chapter confitts of a dean, a 



provoft, an archdeacon, and eight prebendaries. The fnf- 

 fragan bifhoprics are thofe of Clonfert, Elphin, and Killalla. 

 TUAPE, a town of New Navarre ; 160 miles S. of 

 Cafa Grande. 



TUA R IK, a people of Africa. The weft and fouth of 

 Fezzan, fays Mr. Horneman, is inhabited by the Tuarik, 

 a mighty people, who border fouth-weft on Bornou, fouth 

 on Bornou, Soudan, and Tombuftoo, eaftward on thc 

 country of the Tibboo and Fezzan, northward on part of 

 Fezzan and the Arabs who live behind the regions of Tri- 

 poli, Tunis, and Algiers, and weftward on the great em- 

 pire of Fez and Morocco ; of whom a few colonies are 

 found in Sockna, Augela, and Siwah ; in fuch places, the lan- 

 guage of the Tuarik is the only one fpoken by the inhabitants. 

 The Tuarik are divided into many nations and tribes, who 

 all fpeak the fame language. The Tuarik of Hagara and I 

 Kolluvi are thin in growth, rather tall than (hort, their I 

 walk fwift but firm, their look ftern, and their whole de- j 

 meanour warlike. Cultivated and enlightened, their natural 

 abilities would render them perhaps one of the greateft na- 

 tions upon earth. Their character, particularly that of 

 Kolluvi, is much efteemed. The weftern tribes are white, 

 as much as the climate and manner of hving will adinit. 

 The KoUuvians who reached the region of Afben, and con- 

 quered Agadcs, and mixed with the nation, are of different 

 colours, many of them black, but their features are not like 

 thofe of negroes. The Hagara and Mutkara tribes are 

 yellowifti, hke the Arabs : near Soudan there are tribes en- 

 tirely black. They are not all Mahometans. In the neigh- 

 bourhood of Soudan and Tombuttoo live the Tegama, who 

 are white and pagans : they carry on a commerce between 

 Soudan, Fezzan, and Gadames. Their caravans give life 

 to Mourzouk, which without them is a defert ; for they 

 love company, fong, and mufic. The greater part of the 

 eaftern Tuarik lead a wandering life. 



TUAT. See TwAT. 



TUB, is ufed as a kind of meafure to denote the quan- 

 tity of divers things. A tub of tea is a quantity of about 

 60 pounds. A tub of camphor is a quantity from 56 to

Tub, Cheefe, in Rural Economy, that fort of large tub 

 which is employed in the making of cheefe, which, in fomc 

 diftrifts, is wetted or wailied with cold water before it is 

 ufed, to prevent the milk from fticking to the wood. 



Tubs, in Gardening, a fort of ftrong upright boxes, cal- 

 culated for containing large green-houfe exotics, and other 

 potted plants and trees, when grown too large for the pots. 



Thefe tubs are made by the coopers proper for this pur- 

 pofe, fomewhat in the garden-pot foi;m, a little wider at top 

 than at bottom, from a toot and half to two feet and a half 

 deep ; the width in proportion ; conftrufted of the ilrongeft 

 thick ftaves and bottoms, and well hooped with iron, and 

 with two iron handles at top, by which to remove them : 

 thefa handles being ftrong, and generally hooked, efpeciaUy 

 in very large tubs, in order to receive a pole in each occa- 

 fionally, that the tub and plant together may be more 

 readily moved. The bottom of the tubs have auger-holes 

 bored in different parts, at regular diftances, by which to 

 difcharge the fuperfluous moifture, after watering, &c. 



In tubbing large -grown plants, they ihould be removed 

 from their prefent pots, with the balls of earth about their 

 roots entire ; and having earthed the bottom parts of the 

 tubs, the plant fhould be fet in with its whole ball of earth, 

 filling up properly around, and an inch or two over the top 

 of the ball, with more frefh mould, and then watering.
