GLAM'FORD BRIGGS, commonly called Briggs 
a market town in the county of Lincoln, one hundred 
and fifty miles from London, fituatcd on the river Anc- 
holme, in the centre of the level of that name, the 
drainage of which was accomplilhed at a very eonfide- 
rable expence, and is fupported by a tax on the land, 
and tonnage on the navigation of the river. This river 
is navigable from Bifliopfbridge, about ten miles fouth 
of Brigg, to Ferraby Sluice, nine miles north of Brigg, 
where it op«ns into the Humber. Above and below 
the town the river divides into two branches, one of 
which runs through the town, the other a quarter of a 
mile weftward of it, and has a fmall but commodious 
bridge over each branch. This town forms a part of 
the four adjoining parifhes of Wrawby, Bigby, Brough¬ 
ton, and Scav/by ; and has a confiderable manufactory 
of Ikins, with a good trade in corn, coals, and timber. 
Here is a plentiful market on Thurfdays, and a fair 
yearly on the 5th of Auguft. This town has alfo a 
large and commodious free-fehool, with a good endow¬ 
ment for a mafter and uiher, both of whom are ufually 
in orders. 
GLAMOR'GANSHIRE, a county of South Wales, 
bounded on the north by Brecknockthire, ontheeaft by 
Monmouthftiire, on the fouth by the Briftol Channel, 
and on the weft by Caermarthenihire ; about forty-eight 
miles from eaft to weft, and twenty-feven from north to 
fouth. The greateft part of the lea coaft forms a femi- 
circular fweep, the weftern extremity being formed into 
a narrow beak between the open channel on the one 
hand, and an arm running round to the Caermarthen- 
fhire coaft on the other. Juftin, a petty prince of this 
country, in the reign of William Rufus, revolting from 
his fovereign, Rhys, and finding himl'elf not a match 
for his power, by a raftinefs, which he repented of when 
too late, invited over to his aftiftance from England, by 
means of one Ivo, a nobleman, to whom he had mar- 
ri«d his darghter, Robert Fitz Haimon, a Norman, fon 
VoL. VIII. No. 52S.

of Haimon Dentatus, earl of Corbul, who prefently 
raifing troopis, and alFociating with him twelve knightn, 
firft engaged and flew Rhys, and then, allured by the 
fertility ot the country, of which he had before enfured 
to himfell the poffeliion in profpeCI, turned bis arms 
againft Juftin himfelf, for not keeping his word witli 
Ivo, foon dilpoflefled him of the patrimony of his an- 
ceftors, and divided the country between his own' fol¬ 
lowers. On the north, and iwrth.eaft fides it is very 
mountainous, the foil of the hills extremely varied. 
In fome parts they are abfolute rocks, in others full of 
coal and iron. The I'urface over thefe mines produces 
plenty ol fine wool. What corn grows in the county is 
principally between the fouth fide of the mountains and 
the fea, in a Ipacious vale, or plain, open to the latter. 
The roads over the mountains are exceflively fteej), 
ftony, ftrewed, as well as the heaths on each fide of 
tliem, with ftones of various fizes, detached from the 
rocks by the winter rains. The air on the north fide is, 
lliarp, occafioned by the long continuance of the fnow 
on the hills ; but on the fouth fide mild and temperate, 
improved by the fea breezes. Such is the profufion of 
coal and limeftone in this county, that lime is the gene¬ 
ral manure of it, and there is fcarcely a cottage that is 
not white-waftied regularly once a year. The plenty 
of coal, and the conveniency of exportation, have 
brougJit a large copper work to Swanlea. Glamorgan- 
Ihire contains one epifcopal town, Llandaff, and feveral 
others, as Cardift', Caerphilly, Neath, Brigend, Swan- 
fey, Llantrifant, Marthyr-Tydvil, and Cowbridge. The 
principal rivers are the Tave, the Neath, the Taw, the 
Ofmore, and the Rumney. Glamorganihire is divided 
into ten hundreds and one hundred and eighteen pa- 
rillies, which contain about fifty-eight thoufand inhabi¬ 
tants. Two members are returned to the Brltifti parlia¬ 
ment, viz. one for the county, and one for the town of 
Cardiff.
