a village in the west riding of Yorkshire, in the parish of Knaresborough, remarkable for its medicinal springs. These are three in number, all different in their qualities, notwithstanding their contiguity. 1. The Tewet water or Sweet Spa, a vitriolic spring, of a sort of milky taste, used in gravelly cases, was discovered by Mr Slingby in 1638. 2. The stinking or sulphur spring, useful in dropsical, scorbutic, and gouty cases, rises in the town, and is received in four basins under four different buildings; at one it is drunk, at the others used for hot or cold baths. It is perfectly clear; but the taste and smell a composition of rotten eggs, tea-water, and sulphur, and extremely salt. Bathing is the most general method of using it. Harrogate is the strongest sulphur water in Great Britain; and from the superior strength of the impregnating sulphur, it does not lose the sulphureous smell even when exposed to a scalding and almost boiling heat; and in distilling it, when three pints had been taken off from a gallon of it, the last was as strong as the first, and stunk intolerably. It is difficult and attenuating; and a warm bath of it is of great benefit in pains and aches, strains and lameness, dissolving hard swellings, curing old ulcers and scrophulous complaints, and is a powerful cleanser of the stomach and bowels. 3. St Mungo's well is so called from Kentigern a Scotch saint, much honoured hereabouts, whom his tutor Servanus bishop of Orkney, out of affection for him, called Mongah, which in the North or Norway language signifies a dear friend.—The Harrogate season is from May to Michaelmas; and the company assemble and lodge in five or six large houses or inns on the heath, a mile from the village, each house having a long room and an ordinary: the best company used to lodge at Knaresborough, which is three miles off.

HARROW-ON-THE-HILL, a town of Middlesex, so called from its situation on the highest hill in the county, is 10 miles north-west of London. This parish is noted for a free school, founded in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. A silver arrow is shot for here once a-year, viz. August 4, by a select number of the scholars, who are dressed for the purpose in the habit of archers.
