sea-port town of Norfolk, with a market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and a fair on Friday and Saturday in Easter-week for petty chapmen. It is seated on the river Yare, where it falls into the sea; and is a place of great strength, both by art and nature, being almost surrounded with water; and there is a drawbridge over the river. It is esteemed the key of this coast, and is a clean handsome place, whose houses are well built, it being a considerable town for trade. It has one large church, and a neat chapel, and the steeple of St Nicholas is so high that it serves for a sea-mark. It is governed by a mayor. The harbour is a very fine one, though it is very dangerous for strangers in windy weather; and it has for its security a pretty strong fort. The inhabitants in 1811 amounted to 17,977. It is 27 miles east of Norwich, and 112 north-east of London. E. Long. 1. 55. N. Lat. 52. 43.

town of the isle of Wight, in Hampshire, with a market on Fridays, and one fair on July 25th for toys. It is seated on the western part of the island, on the sea shore, and is encompassed with water; for, not many years ago a channel was cut through the peninsula, over which there is a drawbridge, and it is defended by a strong castle on the quay. It is a handsome place, whose houses are chiefly built with stone, and covered with slate; and it sends two members to parliament. The market is now disused. W. Long. 1. 28. N. Lat. 50. 40.
