HUD'DE (John), a burgomafter of Amfterdam, who 
died in 1704. He was eminent in his character of a ma¬ 
gistrate, and pofTefled a genius for mathematical ftudies, 
from which high expectations might have been enter¬ 
tained, had he not been diverted from their purfuit by 
political affairs. He was the author of excellent little 
pieces O11 the Reduction of Equations, and De Maximis 
et Minimis, inferted by Francis Schooten in his Commen¬ 
tary on the Geometry of Defcaites. 
HUD'DERSFIELD, one of the five market-towns in 
the Welt Riding of Yorkshire, eminent for the woollen 
manufacture. It has improved confiderably within the 
laSt few .years in buildings, trade, and population. The 
neighbourhood of Huddersfield is remarkably populous, 
and is chiefly occupied in the manufacture of woollen 
cloth, as far as the district of Saddleworth, which lies 
from twelve to lixteen miles welt of Huddersfield, amonglt 
a chain of hills which divide Yorkfhire from Laricalhire. 
The manufacture of this part of the Weft Riding princi¬ 
pally confifts of narrow cloths, fine and coarfe ; but many 
fine broad cloths are alfo now manufactured here, as well 
as ferges, kerfeymeres, fine coatings, thick kerfeys, frizes, 
and various other kinds, both of woollen and vvorlled 
goods. The market is held on Tuefdays, when the cloth 
is expofed to fide in a large hall, built at the expence of 
fir John Ramfden, bart. of Byram, near Ferry Bridge. 
The building is of a circular form, two Stories high ; for 
better fecurity, there are no windows on the outfide, but 
the light is-admitted by windows in the inner wall. A 
middle row of one ilory in height, and fupported by pil¬ 
lars, opens into the other part, and divides the area into 
two courts. Above the door is a handfome cupola, in 
which is a clock, and a bell ufed for the puroofe of open¬ 
ing and fhutting the market. The hall is opened early 
in the morning, and is Ihut at half pait twelve at noon. 
The retort to this market of manufacturers from a large 
circuit m the neighbourhood, and of merchants and wool- 
ftaplers from the towns of Leeds, Wakefield, Halifax, &c. 
rs amazingly numerous, and the average return of the 
gooi foi is fuppofed to be greater than that of any other 
market in the kingdom, though the amount cannot he 
particularly afcertained. There are three annual fairs, cn 
March 31, I lay 14, and Oftober 4, for cattle, horfes, ‘See. 
but that on May 14 is the principal one. The church, is 
an ancient plain building, very large, but has nothing 
particularly ornamental or curious in it. Huddersfield is 
dilfant from Halifax, leven miles and a half; Leeds fif¬ 
teen arid a half; Wakefield thirteen and a half; Shef¬ 
field, twenty-fix ; Manchefter, twenty-five; and 1S9 from 
London. '

HUD'SON (Henry), the celebrated difeoverer of Hud- 
fon’s Bay. Nothing is known of him till, in 1607, he 
was fitted out by fome London merchants in a fmall vef- 
fel for exploring a north-ealt paflage to Japan and China, 
He lailed on May the ill, and proceeded beyond the 
eightieth degree of latitude in the North Sea ; when, being 
llopt by the ice, he returned, and arrived in England in. 
September. In a lecond voyage, the next year, he landed 
in Nova Zembla, but was unable to advance further to 
the eall, and returned in Auguft. He was fitted out in 
1609 for a third voyage by the Dutch EaSl-India company. 
After another unluccefsfui attempt to the eaSlward, he 
fleered for the American coaSt, and went down as far as 
Cheflipeak-bay. A mutinous crew prevented him from 
endeavouring to find a westerly paflage through Davis’s 
Strait, and he returned in November. The knowledge he 
had acquired in thefe three voyages increafed his hopes 
of difeovery; and in 1610, he was fitted out by fir Tho¬ 
mas Smith, Sir Dudley Digges, and fome of ins friends. 
He lailed on April 17, in a bark named the Difeovery, 
with a crew of twenty-three men, and came within Siglit 
of Greenland on June 4. Proceeding westward, he reached, 
in Sixty degrees of latitude, the mouth of the Strait bearing 
his name. Through this he advanced along the coaii of 
Labrador, to which he gave the name of N’ova Britannia, 
till it Tided in the valt oay, which perpetuates the memory 
of this navigator. Here he congratulated himfelf that he 
had difcovered the long-fought paflage to the north-well.. 
At length, however, he foun he was only in a bay, and. 
refolved to winter in the fouthern part of it. The crew 
drew up the lnip in a Small creek, and, as well as they 
were able, confronted the fe verity of th t dreary climate.. 
Seafonable Supplies 01 fowl Sustained them through the 
winter months, but at the approach of fpring they were 
reduced to great neceiuty for prevision., uudfon, how¬ 
ever, fitted out his Shaiiop for further difeoveries; but,, 
not being able to eltabiilfi any communication •. ith the 
natives, or revictual his-lhip, he prepared to return. Dil- 
trefs had rendered the crew mutinous, and he had im-
