a town of Buckinghamshire, in England, 31 miles from London, lies under the Chiltern hills, in a marly soil. It is a pretty large borough, though not incorporated, with a bridge over the Thames, not far from its confluence with Wycomb, and has a handsome church and town-hall. It first sent members to parliament in the reign of Edward II. Bone lace is its chief manufacture. The Thames brings goods hither from the neighbouring towns, especially great quantities of meal and malt from High Wycomb, and beech from several parts of the county, which abounds with this wood more than any in England. In the neighbourhood are frequent horse-races; and here are several corn and paper mills, particularly... MAR

on the river Loddon, between this town and High Wycomb. There are, besides, the Temple-mills, for making thimbles, and another for prelling oil from rape and flax seeds.

At Great Marlow there is an institution supported by government for the education of young men destined for the army. The pupils are entirely under military discipline, and are instructed by able professors in the various branches of mathematics, &c., connected with military tactics.
