GARBAN'ZO,/. in botany. See Cicer Arieti- 
s uM,vol.iv. p. 3S9. To that article we may add, that 
rliii piulfe is highly elleemed in Spain as fodder for cat¬ 
tle, and at the table in foups and other diflies, biit princi¬ 
pally with that ftandard dilli in all families, the olio. The 
garbam'o plant has a very inconliderable root, not, pene¬ 
trating far into the ground, and therefore not impoverith¬ 
ing the foil; its branches are numerous, and the large 
fort throws out llioots three feet long ; it varies in co¬ 
lour, r\ lute, reddilh, or rather grey; and th.e feed of 
each is of the fame colour refpectively. Each pod con¬ 
tains but one feed, or at moll two ; not round, but rather 
pointed; whence it is compared to a Iheep’s head, and 
ha>the trivial name arktinum. In Callile they fay that 
the bell fort has the furface wrinkled like the face of an 
old woman, the broad back of a porter, and the bill of a 
parrot; the colour alfo Ihould be not white, but of a pale 
inie ; and it Ihould be liglit, foft, and fat. This pulfe 
does not fucceed lb well in tlie hotter parts of Spain as in 
the cold northern diltridts of Fuente Saiico, Mentrida, 
and others. It is lowed in the fame manner as other 
pulfe, and generally in open fields. A foft rich foil is 
bell for the garbanzo, but a ftift'clay is not unfuitable to 
it. The Spaniards have a proverb, that rain never hurts 
garbanzos. Th.ercare two principal forts, orrather va¬ 
rieties, the large oi* winter, and the fmallor fummer gar¬ 
banzo. 'I'he former Ihould be Ibwn the firlt week in 
October, that it may acquire a good root, and fpread 
out lu.xuriantiy for fodder, d'he latter mull _ be fown 
about the end of February. Tlic confumption of the 
garbanzo is great in Spain to fodder cattle, and it is 
reckoned tolerably nutritive. It is 11 fed either by feed¬ 
ing it on the ground, by cutting it green and'glving 
it to them in the ilall or liable, which is the bell, 
or dried after the manner of hay. The large fort 
furnilhes an early fodder for cattle, Iheep and lambs, at 
a time when no other is to be Jiad. It is a good prepara¬ 
tion for other crops, becaufe if is delfruttive of weeds, 
and lhades tlie furfice of the ground.

GAR'CES or Graces (Henry), a native of Porto, in 
the kingdom of Portugal; who went to Peru in the Spa- 
nifh fervice, and after the death of his wife became can¬ 
on of the cathedral of Mexico. He tranllated the Luliad 
of Camoens from tlie Portuguefe into Spanifh, and this 
has procured him a place iu profeffor Dieze’s tranllation 
of Velafquez’s Hiltory of Spanifh poetry. He can fed a 
law to be enabled that no lilver bullion Ihould be fuller¬ 
ed to circulate in Peru ; but his greatell fervice was the 
difeovery of the quicklilver mines. As he was one day 
examining the red earth, which the Indians ufe for paint, 
and call limpi, lie obferved that it was native cinnabar ; 
and as he knew that quickfilver was extrubled from it ia 
Europe, he went to the place where it was dug up, made 
fome experiments, and thus, in 1566, laid a foundation 
for the moll important works. No one, however, 
thought of employing it, in the filver mines, till the year 
1571, when, Francis deToledo being viceroy, Pero Fer¬ 
nandes de Velafco came to Peru, and offered to refine 
the lilver by mercury, as he had learned at the fmelt- 
ing-houfesin Mexico. Hispropofal being accepted, and 
his attempts proving fuccefsful, the old methods were 
abanduned, and that of amalgamating purfued as it is 
prabliced at prefent. From this account itappears that 
Garces was not the inventor of amalgamation; but that 
it was introduced firll into Peru in 1571, and that it had 
been long before prabliced there : but at what period is 
uncertain. It was, however, fubfequent to the death of 
Garces, which took place in Nlexico.

G AR'CIAS-LAS'SO or Garcilasso (de la.Vega), 
one of the moll eminent of the Spanilh poets, born at To¬ 
ledo, in 1503. His works are contained in a fn;all vo¬ 
lume, and confift in a great meafure of pallorals. His 
principal excellence is tendernefs, which he beautifully 
difplays in fome of his fonnets, the molt interellingofhis 
compolitions. Fie was indebted to a familiarity with the 
ancients for a greater freedom- from boraball than his 
countrymen in general; but he does not rife to the fub. 
lime, and his learningand talle were fuperior to his geni¬ 
us. Many editions of his poems have been given, arid 
they have been commented upon by Sanchez de Las 
Brozas, the molt learned of the Spanilli grammarians. 
GarcilalTo followed the profellion of arms, and attended 
Charles V. in many of his expeditions. .He loll his life 
at an e<arly age in i53<>, at tlie attack of a fortrefs in Pro. 
vence, while lignaliling his courage in the prefence of his 
fovereign.
