FUE'GO, or Terra del Fuego, ;i large ifland, fe- 
parated ij-om the ('outhern extremity of America by a nar¬ 
row fca, called the Straits of Magellan ; and fo natned from 
the volcanoes obferved on it. The afpecl of the cotintry 
is reprefen'ed as dreary and uncomfortable, confiding of 
a chain of (Inpendons rocks, and contimially covered with 
fnow. Along the coafts are ajgreat number of inlets, or 
harbours, for the l.irgeft lliip's, with rocks near the fhore, 
svhich, Iiowever, may be difcovered by founding. The 
inhabitants are faid to be naturally as fair as Europeans, 
but that they go naked, and paint their bodies with the 
mod gorgeous colours. Thofe on the fouth fide are laid 
to be uncivilifed, treacherous, and barbarous; while 
thofe on the oppofite fide are fimple, affable, and perfeft- 
ly harmlefs. The fkins of wild animals are fomerimes 
ufed to cover their b idles, upon occafions of extraordi¬ 
nary pomp,; and their tents are made of poles, difpofed 
in a conical form, covered with fkins, or the barkorleaves 
of trees. Sir Jofeph Banks, Dr. Solander, and fome 
others, landed here in the month of January, 1768, which 
is the time of fummer in that part of the globe, notwith- 
Ifanding which two of the company died of the cold only 
by deeping one night, and Dr. Solander himfelf hardly 
efcaped, Lat. 52. 30. to 55. 35. S. loti. 51. 20. to 58. W.

FUE'GO, or Fogo, or Sf. Philip, one of the Cape 
Verd iflands. The former name it received from a vol¬ 
cano, and the lad from being difcovered on St. Philip’s 
day. The volcano ilfues from a lofty mountain, and 
throws our flames, which may be feen at a great diftance 
irr the night, clouds of aflies, which fuffocate cattle, pu- 
iiiice-ffones, which float on the fea, and torrents of (ul- 
phur. The idand is without rivers, almod without fredi 
water; neverthelefs, it is fertile in maize, gourds, water 
melons, wild figs, orhnges, and apples. There is a great 
number of goats, which run wild upon the mountains; 
but the profit on their fkins is a revenue of the crown. 
They export alfb the fkins of cattle, horfes, alTes, and 
hogs. The idand is about five leagues in length. Lat.

ciples of the graphic art under his father, he left his na. 
live country in his eighteenth year, and firoceeded to Vi- 
enna, unfriended and without fupport. In this city h>e

is probable he would have fpent his whole life there, had 
not the prince of Schwarzenberg prevailed on him to ac¬ 
cept an invitation to go to Radadt. At this place he was 
a favourite with the court; and received every mark of 
refpeft. From hence he removed to Nuremberg, where 
he formed an intimate friendfhip with the celebrated Ru- 
pezki, under whom he ftudied with a view to improve 
himfelf in his prdfeftion. At the end of eighteen months 
he refolved to pay a vifit to Augfburg and Munich, and 
then to return to Swiflerland, where he arrived in the
