LOCATELLI, Pietko, in Biography, a native of 

 Berganio, and one of the greateft performers on the violin 

 in Europe, during the early part of the lad century ; but 

 no iefs remarkable for caprice in his compolitions, than for 

 execution and a full tone in his performance. He publirticd 

 twelve grand concertos for vioHns, and much muiic for 

 other inftruments, at Amfterdam, where he refided from 

 '1744 to 1764. .Few could play his concertos but himfelf ; 

 Tct there was " more method in his madnefs," than in that 

 of Vivaldi ; fometimes a folidity and good talle, particularly 

 in his flow movements, not inferior to the adagios of Tartini. 

 In 1772, we were very much furprifcd to find the blind or- 

 ganift and CariUoneur Potholt at Amfterdam pofTefled of a 

 tafte fo delicate and modem in a place where little other 

 mufic was encouraged or liftened to than " the jingling of 

 bells and of ducats,' till that excellent performer told us 

 that Locatelli, the famous player on the violin, who had 

 lived many years in that city, and died in 1764, ufed to give 

 him inftruAions, and to encourage his mufical ftudies by 

 allowing him the advantage of being always a hearer at his 

 public concerts as well as private performances. This, in 

 feme meafure, helped us to account for his taile asd fancy ; 

 for Locatelli was [.oflelTed of a great deal of both ; and 

 though he delighted in capricious diflicultics, which his 

 hand could as ealily execute as his head conceive ; yet he had 

 a fund of knowledge in the principles of harmony, that 

 rendered fuch wild flights agreeable, as, in Iefs flvilful hands, 

 would have been infupportable. Foreigners who travelled 

 through Holland, and were curious to hear Locatelli perform, 

 were previoully apprifed, that the remuneration expedted 

 was fixed at two golden ducats for himfelf, and a lilver 

 ducat to the perfon who accompanied him. 



LOCATION, in the Cixil Law, an aft by which any 

 thing is let out, on rent. 



The fecond title of the nineteenth book of the Digeft is 

 on the fubjeA of location and conduclion. Location and 

 conduclion are relative terms, and are ufed as well for the 

 action of him that lets, as for that of him who takes on 

 that letting. 



Location, Tac'il, is, when the perfon who takes, conti- 

 nues on the premiies beyond the term of his leafe ; which 

 by the civil law he is allowed to do, at leaft for the fpace 

 of a year, on the fame terms.
