his own compofition, in 1675, when he was only nineteen, 

 with fix more of his early produftions for the church, of 

 which the counterpoint is but ordinary and clumfy. The 

 words are likewife often inaccurately accented : he throws 

 the accent of the word triumph upon the fecond fyllable, 

 like Handel ; which, though but flight, is, indeed, the 

 only refemblance between them. 



In 1 68 1, at twenty-five years of age, he was admitted 

 to the degree of bachelor of mufic at Cambridge. And in 

 1705, upon her majefty queen Anne vifiting that univer- 

 fity, he compofed an anthem, " Thou, O God, haft heard 

 my vows," which he performed as an exercife for a doc- 

 tor's degree ; and, after receiving that academical honour, 

 he was appointed public profeflbr of mufic in that univerfity. 



Dr. Tudway compofed an anthem, " Is it true that God 

 will dwell with men upon the earth ?" on occafion of queen 

 Anne going to St. George's chapel, at Windfor, for the 

 firft time ; and for this, and other occafional compofitions, 

 ■was permitted to ftyle himfelf organift and compofer ex- 

 traordinary to that princefs. 



In the latter part of his hfe Dr. Tudway refided much 

 in London, and was patronized by the Oxford family. 

 The valuable fcores of Engliih church mufic, in fix thick 

 volumes quarto, which are now in the Britifh Mufeum, 

 ^° 1557' were tranfcribed by himfelf at this time. 



It is faid that he ufed to meet Prior, fir James Thornhill, 

 Chriftian the engraver, Bridgman the gardener, and other 

 eminent artifts, at lord Oxford's, once a week ; and that 

 fir James drew all their portraits with a pencil,' among 

 which is Tudway playing upon the harpfichord. Prior 

 wrote fportive verfes under thefe drawings, which were in 

 the poffeflion of Mr. Weft, the late prefident of the Royal 

 Society. 



Dr. Tudway's pifture is in the mufic-fchool at Oxford : 

 at Cambridge he was longer remembered as an inveterate 

 punfter, than a great mufician. 



In the time of the duke of Somerfet's chancellorftiip at 

 Cambridge, during the difcontents of feveral members of 

 that univerfity at the rigour of his government and paucity 

 of his patronage, Tudway, himfelf a malcontent, and join- 

 ing in the clamour, faid, " the chancellor rides us all, ivith- 

 out a bit in our mouths." Nor did the wicked fin of pun- 

 ning quit him even in ficknefs ; for having been dangeroufly 

 ill of a quinfy, and unable, for fome time, to fwallow either 

 food or medicines ; the phyfician who attended him, after 

 long debates and difficulties, at length turning to Mrs. Tud- 

 way fays, " Courage, madam ! the dodor will get up May- 

 hill yet, he has been able to fwallow fome nourifhment :" 

 the doftor cries out, " Don't mind him, my dear, one fival- 

 lotv makes no fummer." 



In the Annals of Queen Anne's reign, 1706, vol. v. p. 333. 

 the following relation of Tudway's difgrace at Cambridge 

 is unaccountable, and mentioned no where that we know of 

 but in thefe Annals by Boyer, printed in 1707. 



*' About the latter end of July, the vice-chancellor of 

 the univerfity of Cambridge, having received information 

 that Mr. Tudway had fpoken words highly reflefting on her 

 majefty, he convened the heads of houfes at the regent's, 

 where Mr. Tudway was cited to appear, which he did, and 

 the words being pofitively proved upon oath, they all unani- 

 moufly found him guilty, and proceeded to fentence, which 

 was folemnly pronounced in the prefence of the heads, and 

 entered as an aft by the public regifter, as follows : ' That 

 Mr. Tudway be fufpended of all degrees taken and to be 

 taken ; that he be deprived of his organift's place in St. 

 Mary's church, and of his profefforlhip of mufic in the 

 univerfity.' 



" Mr. Tudway being of King's college, the provoft de- 

 prived him of that place in the college, and the regifter there 

 likewife entered his deprivation ; and the butler and pantler 

 took his name off the tables in their offices. The mafter of 

 Pembroke-hall, where he was alfo organift, in bke manner 

 deprived him of that ofSce, and the regifter there entered it 

 accordingly, fo that he was deprived of all he held in the 

 univerfity of Cambridge." 



We thought it probable that this fudden paroxyfm of 

 difloyalty may have been brought on by the difmiffion of his 

 patron Mr. Harley ; but that did not happen till a year 

 after. In the account which Tudway gives of himfelf in 

 his prefaces to the CoUeftion of Choral Mufic which he 

 made for lord Harley, he fpeaks with the greateft reverence 

 of the queen, afTumes the title of her majefty's compofer 

 extraordinary, and ipeaks of anthems which he compofed 

 exprefsly for her chapels-royal at St. James's and at Windfor. 

 It was perhaps only for the fake of an irrefiftible pun which 

 offered itfelf in couverfation, that he twifted fome fentence 

 or exprefTion into treafon, or at leaft into difrefpeft ; for he 

 recovered all his places, had the degree of doftor in mufic 

 conferred upon him when queen Anne vifited Cambridge, 

 and hved and died mufic -profeffor in that univerfity.

TUELCOS, favages in the fouthern part of the Ame- 

 rican continent, or Terra del Fuego, refiding on the Rio 

 Negro or Colachel, N. of the Moluches or Tehuels. (See 

 Patagonia.) The Tuelcos are a numerous tribe. They 

 are divided into horfe and foot, and are dreaded by the In- 

 dians of the Pampas, who amount to five or fix thoufand 

 fouls, with about one thoufand warriors ; and they often join 

 in attacks on the frontier. Their attachment to war is fuch, 

 that in cafe there be no foreign enemy, one aduar or village 

 of tents will make war againft another. Their lances are 

 generally of ftrong wild reeds, and they are fo dangerous on 

 horfeback, that the Spanifh fufileers cannot fometimes ftand 

 the charge. The head is large and makes a terrible wound, 

 by which, as they exprefs it, they may fee through their 

 enemies. In thefe rencounters the Spanifh cavalry prefer 

 the fpear, fabre, and piftols, the carabine and cartouch-box 

 being of little avail. The tola or bowl is of ftone or metal, 

 about the fize of thofe ufed in billiards ; this is fixed to a 

 ftring about a yard long, and at the extremity, by which it 

 is held, there are fome feathers of the American oftrich or 

 cafTowary. This ftring is turned round the head like a 

 fling, and with it they can ftrike with certainty at a fufficient 

 diftance. The bolas or bowls have been adopted by the 

 Spanifh foldiery ; being two globes of ftone or hard wood 

 faftened at the ends of a ftring, and ferving not only to en- 

 thral the wild horfes and cattle, but alfo to annov their ene- 

 mies. Poniards, fabres, and cutlafTes are more ufual among 

 thefe favages than the bow or the fling. During war they 

 are all cavalry ; and they chufe for their general the molt 

 robuft and vahant of their chiefs. They paint their bodie."i, 

 particularly the face and hands, with black and red, not 

 only to infpire terror, but to ferve as a mark, that they may 

 not be fingled out by the enemy. The tents or hovels of all 

 the tribes of favages are fimilar, being compofed of hides 

 of horfes, beeves, or other animals, and arranged in ftreets.
