ABERCONWAY, or Conway, Caernarvonshire, North-Wales; so called from its situation at the mouth of the river Conway. It is a handsome town, pleasantly situated on the side of a hill, and has many conveniences for trade; notwithstanding which it is the poorest town in the county. It was built by Edward I. and had not only walls, but a strong castle which is now in ruins. Here is an inscription on the tomb of one Nicholas Hooks, importing that he was the one-and-fortieth child of his father, and had twenty-seven children himself. It is 229 miles from London, W. Long. 3° 47'. N. Lat. 53° 20'.
