AN'GERS, a city of France, and capital of the duchy 
of Anjou, in the department of Maine and Loire. It is 
fieated a little above the place where the Sarte and the 
Loire lofe themfelves in the Maine. This laft river di¬ 
vides the city into two equal parts, called the High and 
the Low Town. There are twelve parifhes in the city, and 
four in the fuburbs, which contain upwards of 36,000 in¬ 
habitants. Its greateft extent is along the declivity of a 
hill, which reaches quite down to the river fide. The 
callle was built by St. Louis, about the middle of the 13th 
century. The walls, folfes, and numerous towers, of the 
caftle, which yet fubfift, evince its former magnificence ; 
and its filuation ini the centre of the city, on a rock over¬ 
hanging the river, conduces to give it an air of grandeur, 
* though at prefent in decay. It was the principal refidence 
of the kings of Sicily, as dukes of Anjou, but is now in a 
Hate of total ruin. The cathedral of Angers is a venera¬ 
ble flrufture ; and, although it has undergone many alte¬ 
rations in the courfe of ages fince its conftruftion, yet the 
architecture is Angular, and deferves attention. Here lies 
interned with her anceftors the renowned Margaret, daugh¬ 
ter of Rene, king of Sicily, and queen of Henry VI. of 
England. She expired, after her many intrepid, but in¬ 
effectual, efforts, to replace her hufband on the throne, in 
the year 1482, at the caftle of Dampierre, in Anjou. The 
univerfity of Angers was founded in 1398, and the acade¬ 
my of belles lettres in 1685. This laft confifts of thirty 
academicians. At the end of the luburbs of Brefigny are 
the quarries of Angers, fo famous for the fine (late which 
is got from thence. The pieces are of the thicknefs of a 
crown piece, and a foot fquare. All the houfes in Angers 
are covered with this date, which has gained it the appel¬ 
lation of the Black City. The walls with which king John 
of England furrounded it, in 1214, remain nearly entire, 
and are of very great circumference. Lat. 47. 28. N.

AN'GLES, an ancient German nation, originally a 
branch of the Suevi; who, after various migrations, fet¬ 
tled in that part of Denmark, and duchy of Slefwick, 
which to this day is called Angel, and of which the city of 
Flenlburgh is the capital. Here they were known, even 
in the time of Tacitus, by the name of Angli. The origin 
of this name is varionfty accounted for. According to 
Saxo-Grammaticus, they vvei'e called Angli from Angu- 
lus, Ion to Humblus, king of Denmark. Widifchind, a 
Saxon writer, will have them to be called Angli, from an 
ifland .in the corner or angle of the fea, which they con¬ 
quered. Goropius derives their name from the Saxon 
word Angel, or Engel, fignifying a filh-hook ; the Angles, 
like the other Saxon nations, being greatly addifted to 
piracy, and on that account being fo named by the neigh¬ 
bouring nations; as if, like books, they caught all that 
was in the fea. To this nation the Britifti ambaftadors are 
faid to have applied when foliciling fuccours againft the 
Scots and Pifts. The Angles, therefore, came over in 
greater numbers than any other Saxon nation; and ac¬ 
cordingly had the honour of giving the name of Anglia to 
England.
