guifhed into Upper and Lower Iveach ; and the former is 
by much the largeft barony in that county. The name 
of Iveach, or Hy Peach, is faid to be taken from Achaius , in 
Iritli called Eachach, grand-father to king Coalpaig, as 
touch as to fay “ the territory of Eachah;” for hy, in the 
Irifh language, is a common adjective, denoting not only 
the heads and founders of families, but all'o the territories 
poffiefled by them. Iveach (including both baronies) 
tvas otherwife called Magcnnis's country ; and in queen Eli¬ 
zabeth’s time was governed by fir Hugh Magennis, efteem- 
ed to have been one of the mod polite of all the natives 
in thofie parts. Through part of this barony runs a chain 
of mountains, confiderably high, known by the name of 
Iveach mountains.

IV'ELCHESTER, or Il'chester, an ancient borough, 
market-town, and parifh, in the hundred of Tintinhull, 
and county of Somerfet, fituated on the river Ivel. Its 
Roman name was Ifchalis , and it was one of the molt 
eminent ftations the Romans poflefled in thefe parts. It 
was by them environed with a ftrong wall and deep ditch, 
which originally was filled with water from the river. Its 
form was an oblong fquare, the Foffe-road palling through 
it from north-eaft to fouth-weft. The veftiges both of 
the wall and ditch are dill difcernible, the former being 
regularly compofed of Hone and brick-work intermingled ; 
the ditch on the north-weft fide is now filled up, and be¬ 
come a road called Yard-lane. The Fofle-road was here 
paved with large flag-Hones; fome of which are vilible in 
the old ford through the river near the bridge. At the 
time of the Norman conqueft, Ivelchefter was a city of 
confiderabie note, and contained feveral parilh-churches. 
Vaft arches and immenfe foundations of ancient buildings 
lie beneath the furface of the ground; and the entire fite 
of the old city is filled with l’ubterraneous ruins. The 
prefent town exhibits but fmall indications of its former 
greatnefs. It confifts of four Itreets but indifferently built; 
and has one parilh-church, and a meeting-houfe for dif- 
fenters. The church has a tower, fifty feet high, con- 
ftrufted of Roman ftone. The aftifes for the county were 
fixed to be held here by a patent granted by Edward III. 
but they have long fince been held only alternately with 
Wells, Taunton, and Bridgewater; the county gaol is 
ftill here. The civil government of this borough is veiled 
in a bailiff and twelve capital burgefles, who, together 
with the inhabitants not receiving alms, return two mem¬ 
bers to parliament. The firft return was 26 Edward I. 
An hofpital for the entertainment of pilgrims and poor 
travellers was founded, about the year 1226, by William 
Dacus; it was afterwards converted into a nunnery; the 
ruins are ftill extant. A weekly market on Wednefday 
has exifted here ever fince the conqueft, but has greatly 
declined. Here are two annual fairs.’ Ilchefter is 12a 
miles dillant from London. The return under the popu¬ 
lation aft of 1801 was 138 houfes, and 94.2 inhabitants.

IVETEAU'X (Nicholas Vauquelin, Seigneur des), a 
French poet, Ion of Vauquelin de la Frefnaye, alfo emi¬ 
nent for his poetry, was born at Frefnaye near Falaife, 
about 1559. He early difplayed a fingularity of charafter; 
as an inltance of which, he is faid, while at the univer- 
fity of Caen, to have made public harangues in the drefs 
of a cavalier. His father refigned to him his office of 
lieutenant-general of the bailiwick of Caen; but he feems 
to have been little fitted for the magiftracy. An invitation 
to the court by themarffial d’Etrees, coinciding with a ci¬ 
tation from the parliament of Rouen toanfwer concerning 
an irregular lentence which he had given, caufed him to 
make over his office to a younger brother ; and by the in- 
tereft of the marfhal he was appointed preceptor to the 
duke of Vendome, natural fon of Henry IV. For fome 
time he occupied the fame poll to the dauphin, afterwards 
Louis XIII. but, not giving fatisfaftion, he was dif- 
charged with a penfion and two abbacies. His mode of 
living was fo little fuited to the ecclefiaftical profeffion, 
that cardinal Richelieu obliged him to part with his be¬ 
nefices. He then retired to a handfome houfe in the 
Fauxbourg St. Germain, where he adopted an epicurean 
life, marked however with fome whimfical peculiarities. 
Fancying that happinefs was to be found inapaftoral life, 
he habited himfelf as a fhepherd, and his miftrefs (a player 
on the harp) as a ftepherdefs, and led imaginary flocks 
along the walks in his garden, finging rural fongs to his 
paramour’s harp. The tumults of the Fronde dillurbed 
his. enjoyments, and caufed him to quit the capital, and 
retire to a country-feat in the diocefe of Meux. 1 He there 
died in 1649, at the age of ninety. His works are, 1. In- 
llitutions d’un Prince; a poem written with force and 
folidity, and containing excellent leftbns of morality, 
2. Stanzas, Sonnets, and other Poems, printed in the 
Delices de la Poefie Franfd/e, 1620. Some of thefe are of a 
very free call.
