town in Yorkshire, 188 miles from London. It is almost surrounded by a small arm of the sea; and the church having a high steeple, is a noted sea-mark. Not many years ago there was a street here called Hornsey-beck, which was washed away by the sea, except a house or two. L. Long. o. 6. N. Lat. 54°.

town of Middlesex, five miles north of London. It is a long straggling place, situated in a low valley, but extremely pleasant, having the new river winding through it. Its church, of which Highgate is a hamlet, is supposed to be built with the stones that came from Lodge-Hill, the bishop of London's hunting-seat in his park here; it having been his manor from the most ancient times. About a mile nearer this is a coppice of young trees, called Hornsey-wood, at the entrance of which is a public-house, to which great numbers of persons resort from the city. This house being situated on the top of a hill, affords a delightful prospect of the neighboring country.

Hornpipe, a common instrument of music in Wales, consisting of a wooden pipe, with holes at stated distances, and a horn at each end: the one to collect the wind blown into it by the mouth, and the other to carry off the sounds as modulated by the performer.

Hornpipe is also the name of an English air, probably derived from the above instrument. The measure of this air is triple time, with six crotchets in a bar; four of which are to be beat with the hand down and two up.
