to fiiade them until they have taken root; after which 
time they fliould have air and water in proportion to the 
Warmth of the feafon; and, when they have filled thefe 
pots with their roots, they fhould be Ihifted into pots of 
a larger fize, and plunged into the hot-bed again, where 
they mud remain until autumn, when they fliould be re¬ 
moved into the dove, and plunged into the tan. Thefe 
plants mud be condantly kept in the bark-dove, and 
placed among plants which require a moderate heat ; 
where they will thrive and flower, and fliould be fup- 
ported by tall dicks, round which they will twine as 
hops do ; for, if they have not this fupport, they will 
twid round other plants, and fpoil them. Thefe are 
very proper plants to place againd an efpalier on the 
back part of the dove, amongd other climbing plants, 
where they will make an agreeable variety ^ If the plants 
are carefully managed in the winter, they may be pre- 
lerved two or three years, and will annually dower in 
July, and fometimes they will produce ripe feeds in Eng¬ 
land. The lad fpecies is propagated by feeds, which 
fhould be Town on a warm border of light earth in the 
ip ring, and when the plants come up they mud be care¬ 
fully cleaned from weeds ; when they are fit to remove, 
they diould be tranfplanted into a warm border, where 
they are to remain, fhading them from the fun till they 
have taken frefli root, after which they will require no 
farther care in hummer, but to keep them clean from 
weeds; and in autumn, when the dalks are decayed, if 
the furface of the ground is covered with fome old tan 
to keep out the frod, it will be a fecure method to pre- 
ferve the roots. The fecond year the plants will flower; 
and, if the fame care is taken in winter, the roots may 
be continued fome years. See Galega.

CORPORA'TION, f. [from corpus, Lat.] A body 
politic or incorporate ; fo called as the perfons corn-

many into one fellowfliip and brotherhood, whereof one 
is head and chief, and the red are the body ; and this 
head and body united, make the corporation : alfo it is 
condituted of feveral members like the natural body, 
and framed, by fidtion of law, to endure in perpetual 
fuccedion. The forming of cities into communities, cor¬ 
porations, or bodies politic, and granting them the pri¬ 
vilege of municipal jurifdittion, contributed more than 
any other caufe to introduce regular government, police, 
and arts, and to diftufe them over Europe. Louis le 
Gros, in France, to counterbalance his potent vallals, 
conferred new privileges on the towns dtuated within his 
domain, called charters of community , and formed the in¬ 
habitants into corporations, or bodies politic, to be go¬ 
verned by.a council and magidrates ot their own nomi¬ 
nation. About the fame period the great cities in Ger¬ 
many began to acquire like immunities; and the practice 
quickly lpread over Europe, and was adopted in Spain, 
England,^Scotland, and all the other feudal kingdoms.
