in Surgery, are instruments used for curing squinting, or that distortion of the eyes which occasions this disorder. They are short conical tubes, composed of ivory stained black, with a thin plate of the same ivory fixed in the tubes near their anterior extremities. Through the centre of each of these plates is a small circular hole, about the size of the pupil of the eye, for the transmission of the rays of light. These goggles must be continually worn in the daytime, till the muscles of the eye are brought to act regularly and uniformly, so as to direct the pupil straight forwards; and by these means the cure will be sooner or later effected.

GOMAGOG HILLS, are hills so called, three miles from Cambridge, remarkable for the intrenchments and other works call up here: whence some suppose it was a Roman camp; and others, that it was the work of the Danes.

GOUQUET, ANTONY-YVES, a French writer, and author of a celebrated work, intitled, L'Origine des Lois, des Arts, des Sciences, et de leur Progres chez les anciens Peuples, 1758, 3 vols 4to. His father was an advocate, and he was born at Paris in 1716. He was very unpromising as to abilities, and reckoned even dull, in his early years; but his understanding developing itself, he applied to letters, and at length produced the above work. The reputation he gained by it was great; but he enjoyed it a very short time; dying the same year of the smallpox, which disorder, it seems, he always dreaded. It is remarkable, that Conrad Fugere, to whom he left his library and his MSS. was so deeply affected with the death of his friend, as to die himself three days after him. The above work has been translated into English, and published in 3 vols 8vo.
