a magnificent tomb or funeral monument. The word is derived from Mausolus king of Caria, to whom Artemisia his widow erected a most stately monument, esteemed one of the wonders of the world, and called it, from his own name, Mausoleum.

ST MAWES, a town of Cornwall, in England, seated on the east side of Falmouth haven, in W. Long. 5° 26'. N. Lat. 50° 30'. Though but a hamlet of the parish of St Just, two miles off, without a minister, or either church, chapel, or meeting-house, it has sent members to parliament ever since 1562, who are returned by its mayor or portreeve. It consists but of one street, under a hill, and fronting the sea, and its inhabitants subsist purely by fishing. King Henry VIII. built a castle here, over against Pendennis, for the better security of Falmouth haven. It has a governor, deputy, and two gunners, with a platform of guns. Here is a fair the Friday after St Luke's day.
