they will be putting out new fibres. The arifarums flow'- 
er in April, but feldom produce feeds in England; they 
multiply however fa ft by offsets, and fliould have a fhady 
fituation. They have little beauty to recommend them. 
The caulefeent arums are propagated by cutting off the 
Hulks into lengths of three or four joints, which mu ft be 
laid to dry fix weeks or two months ; for, if the wounded 
part be not perfectly healed over before the cuttings are 
planted, they will rot and decay: they fliould be put in 
fmall pots filled with light fandy earth, and plunged into 
a moderate, hot-bed of tan, being careful that they have 
little wet, till they have made good roots ; when they are 
well eflablifhed at bottom, fome of them may be placed 
in a dry ftove, and others plunged into the tan-bed in the 
bark-ftove, where they will make the greateft progrefs, 
and produce more flowers than the others. Thefe are 
tender plants, mull be kept therefore conftantly in the 
flove, and fliould have very little wet in winter.

A'RUNDEL, [q-d. a dale by the river Arun.] An an¬ 
cient borough-town in Suffex, governed by a mayor and 
twelve burgefles, with conftables, portreeves, ale-conners, 
&c. It is pleafantly fituated on the declivity of a hill, 
the upper part of which commands a beautiful view of 
rich meadows, well watered by the river Arun: the fea, 
at an agreeable diftance, terminates the profpeft. The 
navigable river interfedfs a fmall part of tiie town, which 
is united by a neat (lone bridge of three arches, built in 
1724. The town has been lately much enlarged and im¬ 
proved, and the principal flreets are well paved. The 
north-eaft part of the town is flanked by that venerable 
caftle, which gives title of earl without creation ; its fltua- 
lion is lofty, and has adjoining an extenfive park of many 
hundred acres, lately laid out by the prefent noble polTel- 
for, his grace the duke of Norfolk. This caftle was pro¬ 
bably one of the llrongeft in England, both from its ftruc- 
ture and fituation. To the fcuth, it is guarded from ap¬ 
proach by the fteepnefs of the hill on which it Hands ; and 
on this fide the windows command a very fine view of the 
vale through which the Arun beautifully winds. On the 
north-weft, which is flanked by a very deep fofle, is the 
citadel, ereCfed on another and fmaller hill, which over¬ 
looks the caftle: many of the ancient buildings have moul¬ 
dered into ruin ; but there are ftill veftiges of a very large 
and elegant banquetting-hall, and the gateway is in a to¬ 
lerable bate of preiervation.

Arundel (Thomas), archbiftiop of Canterbury in the 
reigns of Richard II. Henry IV. and Henry V. He was the 
fecond fon of Robert earl of Arundel and Warren, and bro¬ 
ther of Richard earl of Arundel who was beheaded. At 
twenty-two years of age, from being archdeacon of Taun¬ 
ton he was raifed to the bifhopric of Eiy, the 6th ol April, 
1375. In 1386, he was appointed lord chancellor of Eng¬ 
land ; two years after, he was tranflated to the fee of York ; 
and, in 1396, was advanced to the archiepifcopal fee of Can¬ 
terbury, on which he religned the chancellorfhip : this was 
the firft inftan.ee of the tranflation of an archbiftiop of York 
to the lee of Canterbury. Scarcely was, he fixed in this 
fee, when he had a conteft with the univerfity of Oxford 
about the right of vifitatio-n. The affairwas- referred to 
king Richard, who determined it in favour of the arcb- 
billiop. In the fecond year of his tranflation, the com¬ 
mons impeached him, together with his brother the earl 
of Arundel, and the duke of Gloucefter, of high treafon. 
The archbiftiop was fentenced to be banilhed, and within 
forty days to depart the kingdom on pain of death. On 
the acceftion of Henry IV. however, he was reftored to 
his fee ; and in the firft year of this prince’s reign, Arun¬ 
del fummoned a fynod, which fat at St. Paul’s. 'Lite next 
year the commons moved, that the revenues of the church 
might be applied to the fervice of the public ; but Arun¬ 
del oppofed the motion with fuch vigour, that it was 
thrown afide. In the year 1408, he began to exert him- 
felf againft the Lollards, or Wickliffites ; and his zeal for 
fupprefiing that feift carried him to leveral unjuftifiable 
feverities, .particularly againft Sir John Oldcaftle and lord 
Cobham. He alfo procured a fynodical conftitution, which 
forbade the tranflation of the Scriptures into the vulgar 
tongue. This prelate died at Canterbury, Feb. 20, 1413, 
of an inflammation in his throat, with which he was feized 
(as it was pretended) while he was pronouncing fentencp 
upon lord Cobham. The Lollards' aflerted this to be a 
judgment from God ; and indeed bifhop Goodwin fpeaks 
in the fame manner, faying, “ He who had withheld from 
the people the word of God, the food of the foul, by the 
juft judgment of God had his throat fo clofed, that he 
could not fpeak a Angle word, nor fwallow meat or drink, 
and was fo ftarved to death.” He was buried in the ca¬ 
thedral of Canterbury, under a monument erected by him- 
felf in his life-time. To this church he .was a confidera¬ 
ble benefactor: he built the lantern tower and great part 
of the nave ; and he gave a ring of five bells, called from 
him Arundel's ring ; feveral rich veftments, a mitre enchafed 
with jewels, a filver gilt crofter, and two golden chalices.

of the wounds lie received at the battle of Lanfdown, in 
the fervice of the king, for whom he raifed a regiment of 
horfe at his own expence at the time of the ufurpation. 
Arundel (Lady Blanch), was confort to the above 
nobleman, and daughter of Edward Somerfet earl of Wor- 
cefter. This lady, as diftinguifhed for her bravery as for 
the fplendottr of her birth, in the abfence of her hulband 
bravely defended the caftle of Wardour, with a courage 
above her fex, for nine days, with a few men, againft Sir 
Edward Hunger ford, and Edmund Ludlow and their army, 
and then delivered it up On honourable terms. The ac¬ 
count of the noble defence Ihe made againft her befiege.rs 
is told in the “ Mercurius Rufticus,” a kind of newfpaper
