RICCIO, DoMEXico, called Brufa-Sorci, in Biography, 

 an eminent painter, was born at Verona in 1494, and became 

 a difciple of Giovanni Francefco Caroto, under whofe 

 inftruftion in defign and colouring he laid the foundation of 

 his fubfequent celebrity. For further improvement he 

 ftudied the works of Giorgione and Titian at Venice ; and 

 his proficiency was fuch, that his works have been gene- 

 rally admired and fought after, on account of the beauty of 

 his colouring and the attitudes of his figures. Under the 

 patronage of cardinal Gonzaga, by whom he was invited to 

 Mantua, he became a competitor in the exercife of his art 

 with two of the moll celebrated matters of his time, Paolo 

 Veronefe and Paolo Farimato. In the church of St. George 

 at Verona is a pitture by Riccio, which reprefents the ga- 

 thering of the manna in the wildernefs,and which is accounted 

 a fine compofitiou, and diftinguifhed by the force of its 

 colouring. This mafter died in 1567, at the age of 73 years.

ROARING, a difeafe of horfes, well known to jockies 

 and dealers in thefe animals. It takes its name from a fin- 



gular noife which the horfe makes in breathing whenever he 

 is put into a briflc motion. It ufually accompanies broken 

 wind, or at leafl is the forerunner of it. Mr. Ryding fays, 

 that it is owing to the extravafation of lymph, and its coagu- 

 lation on the infide of the trachea, or wind-pipe, which thus 

 obilruils refpiration : and if this account of it be jufl, it 

 feems to refemble the croup in children. The principal 

 caufe is fudden or violent and long-continued exercife. At 

 its commencement, bhllering the whole length of the wind- 

 pipe may be of ufe ; but when the difeafe continues for a 

 length of time, it becomes incurable.

ROMILLY, Sir Samuel, Knight, in Biography, no lefs 

 diftinguiflied as a patriot and philanthropiil, than for his 

 legal knowledge and pratlice, has every claim which pre- 

 eminent talents and cliaraCler can give him to honourable 

 notice in thofe biographical fltetches which this work con- 

 tains. Defcended from a race of anceftors, whofe attachment 

 to civil and religious liberty conftrained them to facrifice 

 their property, to abandon their native land, and to feek an 

 afylum from perfecution in this country, it was referved for 

 him to maintain and perpetuate the honour of the family 

 from which he derived his origin. Of his family and its 

 emigration, it will be fufficient to tranfcribe the following 

 account given by himfelf in an addrefs to the citizens of 

 Briftol, when they invited him to become a candidate for 

 reprefenting them in parliament. " It has been publifhed 

 in this city that I am a foreigner, and that if you elett me, 

 you will fend a foreigner to reprefent you in a Britifli par- 

 liament. Gentlemen, I was born and educated, and have 

 pafTed my whole life in England, with the exception of a 

 (hort interval, which was fpent in vifiting foreign countries. 

 My father too was born and educated in England, and fpent 

 his whole life in it ; my grandfather, it is true, was not an 

 Englifliman by birth, but he was an Englifliman by choice. 

 He was born the heir to a confiderable landed eflate at Mont- 

 pellier, in the fouth of France. His anceftors had early im- 

 bibed and adopted the principles and doftrines of the reformed 

 religion, and he had been educated himfelf in that religious 

 faith. He had the misfortune to live foon after the time 

 when the edift of Nantz, the great toleration aft of the Pro- 

 teftants of France, was revoked by Louis XIV., and he 

 found himfelf expofed to all the vexations and perfecutions 

 of a bigoted and tyrannical government, for worfliipping 

 God in the manner which he believed was moft acceptable 

 to him. He determined to free himfelf from this bondage ; 

 he abandoned his property, he tore himfelf from his con- 

 nexions, and fought an afylum in this land of liberty,
