thirty.fourth year of his age, and foon after married, fn 
co/^fequence of his talents, he was highly refpeiled by 
moft of the eminent artifls. Mengs made him a prefent 
of amanufcript treatife On the Beautiful, which Fuefsly 
publifhed, with a preface; and Winkelman lived with 
him in habits of the clofeft intimacy. He had as much 
tafte for tlie beauties of poetry as for thofe of painting, 
and maintained an epiflolary correfpondence with Kleilf, 
Klopftock, Wieland, Bodmer, and Breitinger. Perfons 
of the higheftrank, among whom were cardinal Koth and 
count Firmian of Milan, thought him worthy of their 
friendfhip. 101740, and 1742, he lo(l two of his beft 
friends, Rupezki and Rugendas, both men of the firft 
eminence in the art, and whom he highly loved and 
efteemed. Being defirous that their talents and virtues 
might not remain unknown to pbfterity, he wrote a bio¬ 
graphical account of them, and as this firft eflay in the de¬ 
partment of literature met with a favourable reception, 
he conceived a ftrong defire of refcuing from oblivion 
fome of his meritorious countrymen, by publiftiing as 
complete a hiftory as poffible of theartifts of Swilferland. 
In this work, which he completed with great labour and 
patience, he fliewed himfelf a good writer and a found 
critic in the arts. He died at Zurich on the 6th of May, 
1782. 
FU'ESSLY (John Gafpar), fon of the former, a book- 
feller at Zurich, who died in the month of April, 17S6,

FUGA'LIA, in Roman antiquity, a feaft fuppofed to 
be the fame with the refugium, held on the 24th of Fe¬ 
bruary, in memory of the expulfion of the kings and the 
aboliftiingof monarchical government. Others diftinguifh 
the fugalia from the regifuge. And others again think, 
that the fugalia was the fame with \\\e poplifugia, or the 
feaft of Fugia, the goddefs of joy, occafioned by the rout 
of an enemy, which was the reafon the people abandoned 
themfelves to riot and debauchery. 
FU'GAM FE'CIT, in law, is where it is found by in- 
quifition, that a ytrion fled for felony, &G. And if flight 
and felony be found on anindidfment for felony, or before 
the coroner, wheie a murder is committed, the offender 
fliall forfeit all his goods, and the ilfues of his lands, till 
he is acquitted or pardoned : and it is held, that when 
one indicted of aity capital crime, before juftices of 
Oyer, &c. is acquitted at his trial, but found to have fled, 
he (hall, notwithftanding his acquittal, forfeit his goods : 
but not the ilfues of his lands, becaufe by acquittal the 
land is difciiarged, andconfequently the ilfues. zlnjl. 218. 
The party may in all cafes, except that of tlie coroner’s 
inqueft, traverfe the finding of ayaga^s/ccfi; and the par¬ 
ticulars of the goods found to be forfeited, may be always 
traverfed ; alio whenever the indififment againft a man is 
infufficient, the finding of a fugam fecit will not hurt him.
