TOKAY, a town in the north-east of Hungary, at the 
confluence of the rivers Bodrog and Theysse. It contains 
4200 inhabitants, with 5 churches for as many different sects. 
It has also two monasteries, and well frequented yearly fairs. 
This town, though small, has attained great celebrity for its 
wine, which is among the finest and most expensive in Europe. 
It ewes this superiority partly to the climate, partly to the 
great care taken in the selection of the grapes, and in the 
preparation of the wine. The vines are raised on a range of 
low hills called the Hegyallya, about 20 miles in extent. 
Throughout this district, the grapes are plucked one by one, 
after they are perfectly ripe, instead of being gathered green, 
ripe, and rotten, without distinction, and thrown into the 
press with the stalks, as in other parts of Hungary. The 
wine is of three sorts; the essence, or that which runs from 
the grapes when put into a cask, without artificial pressure. 
The second sort, called the Auslruch, is obtained by ap¬ 
plying a slight pressure to the same grapes; lastly comes the 
Mas/as, obtained by greater pressure, but still superior to 
common wine. The Ausbruch and essence are very high 
paced even at Vienna; but a great part of the wine sold for 
Tokay is produced in other parts of Hungary. Tokay is situ¬ 
ated 114 miles east-north-east of Pest, and 43 north-by-west 
of Debreczin. Lat. 43. 7. 9. N. long. 21. 24. 5. E.

TOLAND (John), a writer on subjects of political and 
religious controversy, was born in the year 1669, in Ireland. 
Educated in catholic principles, he renounced them before he 
attained the age of sixteen years, and became a zealous op- 
poser of popery. He completed his education in Scotland, 
and having spent three years in the university of Glasgow, 
removed to Edinburgh, where he graduated M.A. in 1690. 
From Edinburgh he removed to London, and became ac¬ 
quainted with some respectable dissenters, who enabled him 
to pursue his studies for two years more at Leyden. On his 
return to London, he visited Oxford, and here he collected 
materials for the execution of some literary projects : one of 
which was a dissertation in order to prove that the common 
narrative of the death of Regulus was a fable. In 1696, he 
published at London his “ Christianity not mysterious; or a 
Treatise shewing that there is nothing in the Gospel contrary 
to Reason, or above it; and that no Christian Doctrine can 
be properly called a Mystery.” This publication caused an 
alarm among Christians of all denominations, by whom it 
was regarded as an attempt to overthrow revealed religion, 
and he was violently persecuted. He then directed his atten¬ 
tion to other topics; and in 1698 he published a pamphlet, 
intitled, “ The Militia Reformed,” in which he proposed to 
substitute that species of armament to a standing army. In- 
the same year he wrote a “ Life of Milton,” to be prefixed to 
an edition of his prose woiks, and which was also printed 
separately. In this preface he opposed the notion then pre¬ 
valent, that the “ Icon Basilike” was written by Charles I.; 
and from the consideration of this imposture, as he pro¬ 
nounced it to be, he digressed to the consideration of the 
spurious works that had been ascribed to Christ and his 
apostles. As he was supposed in the discussion of this latter 
topic to impugn the authenticity of the received canon of 
Scripture,
