INCEN'DIARY, / \_incendiarius, from incendo, Lat. in-

Incendiary, in law, is applied to one who is guilty of 
malicioufly fetting fire to another’s dwelling-houfe, and 
sail outhoufes that are parcel thereof, though not conti¬ 
guous to it or under the fame roof, as barns and ftables. 
A bare intent or attempt to do this, by aftually fetting 
fire to a houfe, unlefs'it abfolutely burns, does not fall 
within the defeription of inccndit et compujjit. But the 
burning and confuming of any part is fufficient; though 
the fire be afterwards extinguifhed. It mu ft alfo be a ma¬ 
licious burning ; otherwife it is only a trefpafs. This of¬ 
fence is called arfon in our law. 
Among the ancients, criminals of this kind were to be 
burnt. The puniftiment of arfon was death by our anci¬ 
ent Saxon laws and by the Gothic conftitutions; and in 
the reign of Edward I. incendiaries were burnt to death. 
The ftat. 8 Hen. VI. c. 6. made the wilful burning of 
houfes, under fpecial circumftances, high treafon ; but it 
was reduced to felony by the general afts of Edward VI. 
and Queen Mary. This offence was denied the benefit 
of clergy by 21 Hen. VIII. c. 1. which llatute was repealed 
by 1 Edw. VI. c. 12 ; and arfon was held to be oufted of 
clergy, with refpeft to the principal, by inference from 
the ftat, 4 and 5 P. and M. c. 4. which exprefsly denied 
It to the acceffory; though now it is exprefsly denied to 
the principal alfo, by 9 Geo. I. c. 22.

Nurna the rites of ftrift religion knew 3 
On ev’ry altar laid the incenfe due. Prior. 
Incense, or Frankincense, in the materia rhedica, See, 
a dry refinous fubftance, known among authors by the 
names thus and olibanum. With this the Pagans did, and 
the Roman Catholics do ftill, perfume their temples, al¬ 
tars, See. The burning of incenfe made part of the daily 
fervice of the ancient Jewilh church. The priefts drew lots 
to know who thould offer it; the deftined perfon took a 
large filver difh, in which was a cenfer full of incenfe ; 
and, being accompanied by another prieft carrying fome 
live coals from the altar, went into the temple. There, 
in order to give notice to the people, they {truck upon an 
inftrumentof brafs placed between the temple and the al¬ 
tar ; and, being returned to the altar, he who brought 
the fire left it there, and went away. Then the offerer of 
incenfe, having faid a prayer or two, waited the fignal y 
which was the burning of the holocauft ; immediately 
upon which he fet fire to the incenfe, the whole multitude 
continuing all the time in prayer. The quantity- of in¬ 
cenfe offered each day was half a pound in the morning 
and as much at night. One reafon of this continual 
burning of incenfe might be, that the multitude of vic¬ 
tims that were continually offered up would have made 
the temple fmell like a flaughter-houle, and confequently 
have infpired the comers rather with difguft and averfion 
than awe and reverence, had it not been overpowered by 
the agreeable fragrance of thofe perfumes.
