a town of the United Provinces, in Dutch Guelderland. It is a well-built town, and the chief of the sea-ports of this province. It has several good buildings, particularly the great church, which is much admired. In 1648 the public school here was turned into an university. The French did it a great deal of damage in 1672; since which time it has been on the decline. E. Long. 5. 31. N. Lat. 52. 34.
