about 4000 inhabitants, but is only a shadow of what it 
once was, having been the residence of the Princess of Mol¬ 
davia, the ruins of whose palace, with those of seventeen 
large churches, bear testimony to its former population. 
The ravages of the Tartars and other invaders, the removal 
of the court, and the opening of new channels for trade, have 
reduced the town to a state of insignificance, from which the 
Austrian government has laboured in vain to raise it. At 
present it contains hardly any establishment worth notice, 
except a manufactory of Russian leather by some Armenian 
settlers, and a school for training teachers for the adjacent 
country ; 70 miles west of Jassay, and 97 south-south-east of 
Lemberg 
SUD, Rivierf. de, a beautifully winding stream of Lower 
Canada, which has its source in the high grounds about 20 
miles to the southward of the St. Lawrence. Another prin¬ 
cipal branch descends from heights much farther, into the 
interior. It forms a large basin before it falls into the St. 
Lawrence. Its course being much impeded by shoals, it is 
not navigable except for canoes. The level of its bed is 20 
feet above the St. Lawrence, which occasions a fall that pro¬ 
duces a beautiful effect. 
SUDA, a small town situated on a bay of the island of 
Candia, in the Levant. It has a good harbour, and is 
defended by a castle. 
SUDAK, a small town in the south of European Russia, 
in the Crimea, situated on a hill, with a good but small har¬ 
bour. The environs produce wine, nearly of the same colour 
and quality with that of Champagne. This town formerly 
belonged to Genoa, and in the flourishing days of that state 
was considerable, but is now dwindled into insignificance; 
22 miles south-west of Theodosia.

chief. Prompt. Parv. —Lo, thi besaunt that I hadde put

SUDASHYGUR, a fortress of Hindostan, on the western 
shore of the province of Canara. It is situated on a high 
point of land, and being remarkably white, is very conspi¬ 
cuous at sea. It commands the entrance of the Aliga river, 
and may be considered as the citadel of the town of Car- 
war. 
SUDA'TION, s. [surlo , Latin.] Sweat. 
SU'DATORY, s. \sudo, Lat.] Hot-house; sweating- 
bath —Shyraz is—defended by nature, enriched by trade, 
and by art made lovely ; the vineyards, gardens, cypresses, 
sudatories and temples ravishing the eye and smell, so as in 
every part she appears delightful and beautiful. Sir T. 
Herbert.

SUDBURY, a market town and borough of England, in the 
county of Suffolk, situated on the north eastern side of the 
river Stour, which is here navigable for barges, and over 
which there is a well-built wooden-bridge. It was origin¬ 
ally termed Soutliburgh, to distinguish it from Norwich, 
then Northburgh, and was anciently a place of much greater 
importance than at present. It was one of the first places at 
which King Edward III. settled the Flemings, whom he 
invited to England to instruct his subjects in the woollen 
manufacture. This business accordingly flourished here for 
some centuries, and afforded employment to many of the 
inhabitants of the town, in the weaving of says, crape, and 
ships’ flags; but the trade has long since declined here, and 
fixed its seat in other districts of the kingdom, though the 
town has still a manufacture of says, and also an extensive 
and increasing silk manufactory, established some years ago 
by the London mercers, on account of the dearness of labour 
in Spitalfields. Sudbury comprehends three parishes, and 
has the same number of churches, which are large and hand¬ 
some structures, viz., St. Gregory’s, St. Peter’s, and All Saints. 
The houses in the town are tolerably good buildings, but 
the streets are dirty, especially in bad weather. Sudbury is 
an ancient corporation, and is governed by a mayor and 
seven aldermen. It has sent members to parliament ever 
since the reign of Edward IV. The right of election is in 
the whole body of freemen, the number of whom is about 
725; the mayor of the town is the returning officer. In this 
town was born Simon de Sudbury, Archbishop of Canter¬ 
bury, in 1375, who was beheaded by the populace in the 
rebellion of Wat Tyler. He erected a part of St. Gregory’s 
church, where he is interred, and also founded and endowed 
a college on the site of his father’s house, Leland observes, 
that this prelate, in conjunction with John de Chertsey, 
founded here a priory of the order of St. Agustine, part of 
which building, converted into a dwelling-house, is yet 
standing. Arnica, Countess of Clare, in the reign of King 
John, also founded in this town an hospital, dedicated to 
Christ and the Virgin. Sudbury was the birth-place of 
Thomas Gainsborough, one of the most eminent English 
painters of the 18th century. Population in 1831, 3871.
