YPRES, a considerable town of the Netherlands, in West 
Flanders, situated on a plain, on the small river Yperle. 
Though an inland town, it has, like most towns in France, 
the advantage of water communication, being connected by 
a canal with Bruges, Ostend, and Nieuport. It is fortified, 
and, on the whole, well built. Its chief structures are the 
town-hall, built in the Gothic style, an elegant cathedral, and 
other churches, which contain, as usual in Belgium, good 
paintings. The other buildings are the exchange, the cham¬ 
ber of commerce, and the college or public school. Ypres 
has a population of 15,500, and was noted in former ages 
for its woollen manufactures: at present these are superseded 
by linen, lace, cotton, thread, and, in a small degree, by 
silk. It has two annual fairs, held respectively in the begin¬ 
ning of May and August. In 1793 and 1794 this town 
was exposed to a bombardment from both French and allies; it 
fell eventually into the power of the former, and remained in 
their hands until the overthrow of Bonaparte in 1814; 20 
miles south of Ostend. Lat. 50. 51. N. long. 25. 3. E.
