D. profeffor of ma thematics and medicine in the univerfity of Helmftadt, was born in 1561 at Aberdeen, where he received the first part of his education. About the age of 18, he went to the univerfity of Franc. fort, where he spent three years in ftudying mathematics and philofophy. From Francfort he proceeded to Breslaw, where he made uncommon progrefs in mathematics, under Prof. Paul Wittichius. After a year he returned to Francfort, where he studied phyfic for three years. A contagious diftemper having broke out at that place, Liddel retired to the university of Roftock; where he renewed his ftudies, rather as a companion than a pupil of the celebrated Brucæus; whom, though an excellent mathematician, he inftructed in the more perfect knowledge of the Copernican fyftem, and other aftronomical fubjects. In 1590 he returned again to Francfort. But having there heard of the increafing reputation of the Academia Julia, established at Helmftadt by Henry duke of Brunswick, he removed thither; and foon after his arrival was appointed to the lower profefforship of mathematics. From thence he was promoted to the more dignified mathematical chair, which he occupied for 9 years, with much credit to himself and to the Julian Academy. In 1596 he obtained the degree of M. D. began to teach phyfic, and by his teaching and writings became the chief fupport of the medical fchool at Helmftadt; was employed as first physician at the court of Brunswick, and had much practice among the principal inhabitants. Having been feveral times elected dean of the faculties both of philofophy and phyfic, he, in 1604, was chofen pro-rector of the univerfity. But neither academical honours, nor the profits of an extensive practice abroad, could make him forget his native country. In 1600 he took leave of the Academia Julia; and after travelling through Germany and Italy, at length fettled in Scotland. He died in 1613, in the 52d year of his age. By his laft will he beflowed certain lands near Aberdeen upon the univerfity there, for the education of 6 poor scholars.

Being mountainous, it is chiefly adapted for pafture, though the foil of the low land is excellent, and produces very good crops of wheat, barley, oats, peafe, flax, turnips, potatoes, and clover. The principal mountains are Tudhope, Windhead, Greatmoor, Dun, Dod, Hermitage, Carby Laws, and Tinnis; and Larifton, Millenwood, Peel, and Roan Fells. The number of sheep fed upon them, in 1793, was 36,000; and that of black cattle 1200.

Shak. -All liquid things concocted by heat become yellow; as, lye, wort, &c. Peacham on Drawing. (2.) * LIE. n. f. [lige, Saxon.] 1. A criminal falfehood. 1. Where no one is deceived: as for inftance in parables, fables, novels, jefts, tales to create mirth or ludicrous embellishments of a story, in which the declared defign of the speaker is not to inform, but to divert; compliments in the fubfcription of a letter; a prifoner's pleading not guilty; an advocate afferting the juftice, or his belief of the juftice, of his client's caufe. In such inftances no confidence is deftroyed, because none was repofed; no promise to speak the truth is violated, because none was given or understood to be given. 2. Where the perfon you speak to has no right to know the truth, or more properly where little or no inconveniency results from the want of confidence in fuch cases; as where you tell a falfehood to a madman for his own advantage; to a robber to conceal your property; to an affaffin to defeat or to divert him from his purpose. It is upon this principle, that, by the laws of war, it is allowed to deceive an enemy by feints, falfe colours, fpies, falfe intelligence, and the like: but, by no means in treaties, truces, fignals of capitulation, or furrender: and the difference is, that the former fuppofe hoftilities to continue, the latter are calculated to terminate or fufpend them. II. As there may be falfehoods which are not lies, fo there may be lies without literal or direct falfehood. An opening is always left for this fpecies of prevarication, when the literal and grammatical fignification of a fentence is different from the popular and cuftomary meaning. It is the wilful deceit that makes the lie; and we wilfully deceive, when our expreffions are not true, in the fenfe in which we believe the hearer apprehends them. Befides, it is abfurd to contend for any fenfe of words, in oppofition to usage; for all fenfes of all words are founded upon ufage, and upon nothing else. Or a man may act a lie; as by pointing his finger in a wrong direction, when a traveller inquires of him his road; or when a tradefman fhuts up his windows, to induce his creditors to believe that he is abroad: for to all moral purposes, and therefore, as to veracity, fpeech and actions are the same; speech being only a mode of action. -Thou lieft, abhorred tyrant; with my fword I'll prove the lie thou speak'ft. Shak. -A lye is properly an outward fignification of fomething contrary to, or at least befide, the inward fenfe of the mind'; fo that when one thing is fignified or expreffed, and the fame thing not meant or intended, that is properly a lye.

Dryden.-When I hear my neighbours speak that which is not true, and I fay to him, This is not true, or this is falfe, I only convey to him the naked idea of his error; this is the primary idea: but if I fay it is a lie, the word lie (1.)

LIEGE, a ci-devant principality and bishopric of Germany, in the circle of Weftphalia, ceded to France, by the treaties of Campo Formio and Luneville, and finally annexed to it by the peace of 1801-2. It was bounded on the N. by the late Austrian Brabant, on the S. by Champagne and Luxemburg, on the E. by Limburg and Juliers, and on the W. by Brabant, Namur, and Hainault. It is very unequal both in length and breadth; the former being in fome places above go miles, in others not half fo much; and the latter in fome places 45, in others hardly 25. The air is very temperate; and the foil fertile in corn, wine, wood, and pafture. It has alfo mines of lead and iron, pits of coal, quarries of marble and ftone, and fome celebrated mineral waters, as those of Spa and Chau-fontaine. The 2. LIEGE, a town of France, capital of the dep. of the Ourte, as it formerly was of the ci-devant bishopric of Liege (No 1.), is 4 miles in circumference, and is feated on the Meufe, in a fine valley furrounded with hills and woods. The Meufe at this city is divided into 3 branches, which after paffing through it, under feveral bridges, unite again below it. It was a free imperial city of Germany, and one of the largest and most eminent in Europe. Though it is 100 miles from the fea by water, the Meufe is navigable up to it. The city has 16 gates; 17 bridges, fome of them very handsome; 154 ftreets, many of them ftraight and broad; a fine epifcopal palace; a very large stately cathedral, in which, befides five great filver coffers full of reliques, are (or at least were before the late war,) feveral filver ftatues of faints, and a St George on horfeback of maffy gold, prefented to the cathedral by Charles the Bold, by way of atonement for ufing the inhabitants cruelly, in 1468. Of the ten churches, that of St Paul is the most remarkable, both for structure and ornaments in painting and marble. The city is well fortified, and there are alfo two caftles on the mountain of the Holy Walburg for its defence. Befides a great number of other convents of both fexes, it had a college of English Jefuits, founded in 1616, and a fine nunnery of English ladies. Churches, convents, and other religious foundations, take up the greater part of it, whence it was called the paradife of priests, but the purgatory of men and the hell of women. It is divided into the old and new, or the upper and lower town; and the latter again into the island, and the quarter beyond the Meufe. The houses are high, and built of bluish marble. In the town and fuburbs are 12 public fquares, 10 hofpitals, a beguin-houfe, and two fine keys, planted with feveral rows of trees; great part of the city within the walls is taken up with orchards and vineyards. In St William's convent, without the city, is the tomb of the famous English traveller Sir John Mandeville. Near it are kept the faddle, fpurs, and knife, that he used in his travels. After having feen moft of the cities of any note in the world, he made choice of Liege to end his life in. At this place is made a great quantity of fire-arms, which are exported to different countries. It was bombarded in 1691, and delivered up to the French in 1701. The allies retook it in 1702, and the French befieged it again in 1705, but were obliged to raise the fiege, on the approach of the duke of Marlborough. In 1734 a fire happened in it, which confumed the bishop's palace, with all the furniture and MSS. In 1789, the inhabitants having complained of the oppreffion which they experienced under the government of their bishop, at last infifted upon a charter charter of privileges. As the bishop and chapter did not comply with their demands, they had recourfe to arms; and the bishop, apprehenfive for his fafety, left the city, and appealed to the imperial chamber of Wetzlar. That chamber iffued decrees in his favour: the king of Pruffia, in 1790, seemed to act as a mediator for the citizens: the fentences, however, iffued by the imperial chamber against the infurgents, were followed by requifitorial letters, addreffed to the government of the Auftrian Netherlands, defiring that his imperial majesty's troops would affift thofe of the electoral princes in enforcing their decrees; in confequence of which the Auftrians entered Liege in 1791, reftored the old magiftracy, who had been expelled, to their functions, and reinstated the bishop and chapter. In Nov. 1792, the French, under Dumouriez, took the city, and effected another revolution; but being driven thence by the allies in March 1793, the citizens were once more obliged to fubmit. But early in 1794, it was again taken by the French under Pichegru, and finally annexed to that country in 1796. Liege is 15 miles S. of Maeftricht, and 62 SW. of Cologne. Lon. 5. 40. E. Lat. 50. 37.

LIEGE, in law, properly fignifies a vaffal, who holds a kind of fee, that binds him in a clofer obligation to his lord than other people. The term feems to be derived from the French lier, to bind; on account of a ceremony used in rendering faith or homage; which was by locking the vafial's thumb or his hand in that of the lord, to fhow that he was fast bound by his oath of fidelity. Cujas, Vignere, and Bignon, choose rather to derive the word from the fame fource with leudis or leodi, i. e. loyal or faithful. But Du Cange agrees with thofe who derive it from liti, a kind of vaffals, fo firmly attached to their lord, on account of lands or fees held of him, that they were obliged to do him all manner of fervice, as if they were his domeftics. He adds, this was formerly called litgium fervitium, and the perfon litge. In this fenfe, the word is ufed, Leg. Edw.c ap. 29. Judæi fub tutela regis ligeas debent effe, that is, wholly under his protection. By liege homage, the vaffal was obliged to ferve his lord towards all, and againft all, excepting his father. In which fenfe the word was used in oppofition to fimple homage; which laft only obliged the vaffal to pay the rights and accustomed dues to his lord; and not to bear arms against the emperor, prince, or other fuperior lord; fo that liegeman was a person wholy devoted to his lord, and entirely under his command. Omnibus, &c. Reginaldus, rex Infularum, falutem. Sciatis quod deveni bomo ligeus domini regis Angliæ Johannis, contra omnes mortales quamdiu vixero; &c. MS. penes W. Dugdale. But it must be observed, there were formerly two kinds of liege homage: the one, by which the vaífal was obliged to ferve his lord against all, with out exception even of his sovereign; the other, by which he was to ferve him against all, except fuch other lords as he had formerly owed liege homage to. In the old English ftatutes, lieges, and liege people, are terms peculiarly appropriated to the king's fubject; as being liges, ligi, or ligati, obliged to pay allegiance to him; 8 Henry VI. 14. Hen.
