ated on the weft fide of Connecticut river, twenty miles 
from its mouth, and ten miles fouth-eaft of the city of 
Middletown. This townfhip, including E.aft-Haddam, 
on the oppolite fide of the river, was purchafed of the 
Indians, May 20, 1662. A fpot in EafLHaddam was - 
famous for Indian Pawaws, and was fubj.e.ft for many 
years to earthquakes and various noifes, which the. firlt 
fettlers, agreeably to the fuperftitious ideas of that age, 
attributed to thefe Pawaws. An old Indian being afked

fwered, “ The Indian’s God was very angry becaufe 
the Englifhmen’s God came here.”—Thefe noifes are 
ftill frequently heard. 
H AD'DINGTON, a town of Scotland, and capital of 
a county, to which it gives name, fituated on the river 
Tyne, which divides it into two equal parts. It is a 
burgh of great antiquity, and is governed by a provoft, 
merchant hailies, dean of guild,' &c. The townconfifts 
of four ftreets, interfebting each other nearly at right 
angles; the only public buildings belonging to the 
burgh, of any confequence, are the town-houfe and 
fchool-houfe. There is a weekly market held on Fri¬ 
day, reckoned the greateft in Scotland, for all kinds of 
grain. For feveral centuries paft, a fpecies of coarfe 
woollen has been manufactured here, and many wea¬ 
vers, particularly in the Nungate, ftill ipake them, but 
the number of perfons employed in this branch is great¬ 
ly diminifhed of late. During the time of Cromwell’s 
ufurpation, an Englilh company, of which colonel Stan¬ 
field was the principal perfon, expended a very confi- 
derable fum of money in eftablifhing a manufacture of 
fine woollen cloths. After the colonel’s death the ma¬ 
nufacture declined. A company was eftablilhed in 1750, 
^or carrying on the woollen' manufacture, and a large 
HAD 
fum was fubfcribed'; but the trade proving unfnccefs- 
ful, the company was difiblve.d, and a new'one formed, 
which alfo in its turn was diffolved a few years ago. 
The abbey of Haddington was fituated about a mile 
to the eaftward of the burgh, where there is.ftill a lit¬ 
tle-village called The Abbey, but the monaftery itfelf is 
alinoft entirely demoliftied. It was founded in 1178, try. 
Ada, mother of Malcolm IV. and William the Lion, 
kings of Scotland, and dedicate^ to the Virgin Mary. 
It was ?it this abbey that the parliament was convened, 
July 7, 1548, during the liege of Haddington, which 
gave content to queen Mary’s marriage with the dau¬ 
phin, al)d her education at tlve court of France. Had¬ 
dington has fuffered frequently from fire, and from tire 
inundations of the Tyne, which, October 4, .1775, rofe 
feventeen feet perpendicular, continued In this Kate le- 
veral hours, and then gradually fubfi.ded. . The num¬ 
ber of inhabitants is eftimated at more than two thou.- 
fand. John Knox, the fampus reformer, was a native 
of this town. It is twenty-eight miles north-iveft of 
Berwick, and fourteen eaft of Edinburgh.

neral a rich traft of corn-land, with fome canfiderqble

ftone. On the coaft are feveral convenient .harbours and 
filhing-tpwns; great numbers pf fneep are fed in the 
hilly parts, and abundance of rabbits arc found along-

He was educated at Eton fchool under Dr. Cox, after¬ 
wards bilhop of Ely ; and in 1533 was elected to King’s 
college, Cambridge, of which he afterwards became 4 
fellow. He was confidered as one of the principal or- 
naments[ofthat fdciety, having, by an aftiduous ftudy of 
the belt writers, acquired a very elegant Latin ftyle, 
and made himfelf a proficient in oratory and poetry. 
His particular purfuit was the civil law, in which he 
took a doctor’s degree, and read public lebtures ; and 
was for fome time profelfor of rhetoric, and orator of 
the univerfity. His zeal in the caufe of reformation, 
together with his literary reputation, caufed him in the 
reign of Edward VI. to be made mailer of Trinity-hall 
in the room of bilhop Gardiner. In 1550 he lei ved the 
office of vice-chancellor; and two years afterwards was 
chofen prefident of Magdalen-college, Oxford. He 
withdrew from this fituation on the acceffion of Maryl¬ 
and palled the perfecuting period of her reign in retire¬ 
ment. Elizabeth, foon after her acceffion, appointed 
him one of her mailers of requefts; and Dr. Parker, 
archbilhop of Canterbury, made him judge of Ins .pre¬ 
rogative court. He was one of the queen’s commifliOn. 
ers at the royal vifitation of the univerfity of Cam¬ 
bridge; and in 1565 and 1566 he was employed as one 
of the public agents at Bruges for reftoring the ancient 
commerce between England and the Netherlands. He 
died in January, 1571-2, in his fifty-fixth year. He had 
a principal concern in drawing up the code of ecclefi- 
aftical law entitled Reformat 10 Legum Ecclejiajiicarum, edited 
in,*571 by John Foxe. He publilhed in 1563 a re¬ 
ply to Jerom Oforio’s letter entitled, A^dmonitio ad Eli. 
zabetham, Reginam Anglia;. His other works were col¬
