minican convent at Milan. Uggione’s copy is of the same 
size as the original, near 30 feet long, and was painted on 
canvas for the refectory of the Carthusians at Pavia, where 
it remained till the revolution, when it was removed and sold 
to a rich grocer at Milan; and was brought to this country for 
public exhibition, and for sale. Lanzi says of it “ that in 
some measure it compensates for the loss of the original,” and 
is justified by the merit of the work. The characters of the 
heads appear to have been well rendered, except that of the 
Saviour. Those of St. John, St. Simon, and St. James, are 
excellently wrought, the former especially: indeed it appears 
so distinctly more complete than any other in colour and 
character, that one might think the great master’s hand had 
been employed upon it. The hands, however, are ill drawn, 
and tamely executed ; and the feet much too large, and out 
of keeping. The draperies also are laboured, and a part is 
cut off the top of the picture, which injures the perspective 
of the room in which the figures are seated. 
His fresco pictures in the church of La Pace at Milan still 
preserve their lines and colours unimpaired : some of them 
are in the body of the church itself; but the Crucifixion, his 
most copious composition, is in the refectory; a work, Mr. 
Fuseli has observed, “ which surprises by its variety and 
spirit: few Lombards have reached that degree of expression 
which strikes here, for the art of its composition, and the 
fancy of its draperies.” Of his oil pictures, two of the most 
esteemed are at Milan, one at St. Paolo in Compito, the 
other in St. Eufemia; but they are inferior to his frescoes. 
He died in 1530, aged about 50.

UGHELLI (Ferdinando), an ecclesiastical historian, was 
born of a good family at Florence in 1595 ; in his youth he 
entered into the Cistercian order, and finished his studies at 
Rome. After having passed through various offices in dif¬ 
ferent monasteries, he was elected abbot of St. Vincent, &c. 
at Rome, theologian to cardinal Carlo de Medici, and con¬ 
sultant of the congregation of the Index. He was also do¬ 
mestic prelate to pope Alexander VII., who gave him a 
pension, augmented by Clement IX. He declined accepting 
any bishopric, though several were offered him, because he 
preferred pursuing his studies at Rome. Having undertaken 
to give a series of the bishops of all the churches in Italy, 
with an illustration of each church, deduced from documents 
in their respective archives, he employed several persons to 
assist him; and the work was printed at Rome in 9 vols., 
from 1642 to 1643, under the title of “ Italia sacra, sive de 
Episcopis Italiaj et Insularum adjacentium, rebusque aliis 
praeclare gestis, deducta serie ad nostram usque ffStatem, Opus 
singulare.” A new edition of this work was begun at Venice 
in 1717, and completed in 1733, in 10 vols. folio, with 
considerable additions. Ughelli also made additions to the 
lives of the popes by Ciaconius, and published eulogies of 
the cardinals of the Cistercian order, and those of the Co- 
lonna family, and genealogies of the Marsciano and Capi- 
succhi families. He died at Rome in 1670, at the age of 75.

UGIE, a river of Scotland, in Aberdeenshire. It takes its 
rise about 20 miles from the sea, in two different streams, 
called the wafers of Slrichen and Deer, from passing the 
villages of the same name. The former has its rise in the 
parish of Tyrie, the latter in that of New Deer. The two 
branches unite about 5 miles from the sea, and then take the 
name of Ugie; from thence it continues a smooth and level 
course till it falls into the sea at Peterhead.

UGONE (Mattia), was a native of Brescia at the com¬ 
mencement of the 16th century, a doctor of laws, and bishop 
of Famagosta, in the island of Cyprus. His principal per¬ 
formance is a treatise on councils, entitled “ Synodia Ugo- 
nia,” approved by a bull of Paul III. in 1543, and printed 
at Venice in 1565. Dupin pronounces it one of the best and 
fullest treatises written on that subject in the 16th century. 
This writer maintains, that a council is superior to the pope, 
and may depose him, not only for heresy and schism, but 
for any notorious crime, persisted in after admonition; and 
that, in matters of faith, and such as concern the state of 
the church, or its head, the judgment of the council is to be 
preferred to that of the pope. He died in 1616. Dupin.

VI.ZE ROMANiE, or Roman Ways, were public roads 
on which the ancient Romans impressed marks of grandeur 
and celebrity, as well as of utility, that have not been alto¬ 
gether effaced during an interval of more than 2000 years. 
In the construction of these roads they began with making a 
deep excavation, on each side of which they erected walls, 
and on these walls formed a parapet. The space between 
the walls was filled with layers of different materials, one of 
which was mortar made of the volcanic produce called puz- 
zolano. Above these they placed the hardest stones which 
they could procure, and which they fastened together by an 
intermediate cement; and the saliant angles were so con¬ 
structed as to form a large mass. The elevated parapet 
served not only to give solidity to the way, but to afford a 
convenient seat for those who travelled on foot; and at cer¬ 
tain intervals they placed stones of a greater height, which 
served for the convenience of horsemen. On these ways 
they had temples and monuments, which contributed to their 
ornament; and the distances were marked on columns of 
stone. Originally they marked the distance of any place 
from a column in the city of Rome; but in process of time 
they noted the distance from the capital of the province, or 
from any other town which they selected for this purpose. 
The first of these Roman ways was the Appian -way, which 
commenced at the gate of Rome bearing this denomination, 
and took a south-south-east direction. To the right com¬ 
menced the Via Ardeatina, which proceeded from the south 
as far as Ardea, almost perpendicularly to the meridian.
