I will do you any ambaffage to the pigmies, rather than hold three words conference with this barpy. Shakespeare. (2.) HARPY1, the HARPIES, [APITIAI,] in my thology,(1.def. 1.) were a rapacious impure fort of monfters, with wings, cars like bears, bodies like vultures, faces like women, and feet and hands hooked like the talons of birds of prey. The ancients believed the harpies to be genii or demons. Some make them the daughters of Oceanus and Terra, the ocean and earth; whence Servius fays, that they inhabited an island, half on land and half in water. Valerius Flaccus makes them the daugh ters of Typhon. There were three harpies, Aëllo, Ocypete, and Celano, which laft Homer calls Podarge. Hefiod, in his Theogony, ver. 267. only reckons two, Aello and Ocypete, and makes them the daughters of Thaumas and Electra, affirming that they had wings, and went with the rapidity of the wind. Zephyrus begat of them Balius and Xanthus, Achilles's horfes. Pherecydes relates, that the Boreades expelled them from the Ægean and Sicilian feas, and pursued them as far as the islands which he calls Plote, and Homer Calyna; fince called Strophades. Voffius (De Idolo, lib. iii. cap. 99. p. 63.) thinks that the ancients, by the harpies, could mean nothing else but the winds; and that it was on this account they were made daughters of Electra, the daughter of Oceanus. Such is the opinion of the fcholiafts of Apollonius, Hefiod, and Euftathius. Mr Bryant fuppofes that they were priests in Bithynia, who, on account of their repeated acts of violence and cruelty, were driven out of the country: their temple was called Arpi, and the environs Arpiai, and he obferves that Harpya, Aura, was of old the name of a place.

See HARIER, § 1 and 2. (1.) HARRINGTON, James, a moft eminent English writer in the 17th century, the fon of Sir Sapcote Harrington, by Jane, daughter of Sir William Samuel, of Upton, in Northamptonshire. He was born at Upton, bred at Oxford, travelled into Holland, France, Denmark, and Germany, and learned the languages of those countries. Upon his return to England, he was admitted one of the privy chamber extraordinary to Charles I. Though democratic in his principles, he ferved the king with great fidelity, and endeavoured to get matters accommodated with all parties. He found means to fee the king at St James's; and attended him on the scaffold, when he received a token of his majesty's affection. After the death of king Charles, he wrote his Oceana: a kind of political romance, in imitation of Plato's Commonwealth, which he dedicated to Oliver Cromwell. It is faid, that when Oliver perufed it, he declared, that" the gentleman had written very well, but must not think to cheat him out of his power and authority; for that what he had won by the fword, he would not suffer himself to be scribbled out of." This work was attacked by several wri ters, against whom he defended it. Besides writing to promote republican principles, he inftituted a nightly club, of feveral ingenious men, in the New Palace-Yard, Westminster; which was called the Rota, and continued till the fecluded members of parliament were restored by Gen. Monk. In 1661, he was committed to the Tower for treafonable practices; and chancellor Hyde, at a conference with the lords and commons, charged him with being concerned in a plot. But the committee could make nothing of it. He was conveyed to St Nicholas's illand, and from thence to Plymouth, where he fell into an uncommon diforder of the imagination, owing, it is faid, to his having drunk great quantities of guaiacum. Having obtained his liberty by means of the earl of Bath, he was carried to London, and died in 1677, He published several other works, which were first collected by Toland, in one vol. fol. in 1700; but M a more complete edition was published in 1737, by the Rev. Dr Birch. (2.) HARRINGTON, Sir John, an ingenious Englifh poet, the fon of John Harrington, Efq. who was committed to the Tower by queen Mary, for holding a correfpondence with her fifter Elizabeth; who, when the came to the crown, ftood godmother to this fon, and afterwards knighted him. Before he was 30, he published a tranflation of Ariofto's Orlando Furiofo. A collection of his works have been printed, entitled Nuga Antiqua. He was created a knight of the Bath by James I. and in 1603 a baron, by the title of Lord Harrington. He attended the princess Elizabeth, after her marriage with the elector palatine, to Heidelberg, in April 1613, and died at Worms, Aug. 24, 1613, aged 51. (3.) HARRINGTON, Sir John, Lord Harrington, fon to the preceding, (N° 2.) was the intimate friend of Prince Henry, fon to king James I. and was remarkable for his humanity, piety, and virtue, as well as for his learning. He was created a knight of the Bath in 1604. He is said to have kept an exact diary of his life, and to have examined himself weekly as to his progrefs in virtue. There are feveral letters extant which paffed between him and prince Henry on claffical subjects. He died in Feb. 1614.. (4.)

Being diftinguished for his mathematical learning, he was recommended to Sir Walter Raleigh, who, in 1585, fent him with the colony, under Sir Richard Grenville, to Virginia. After having remained there about a year, he pubJithed a topographical defcription of it. About 1588, he was introduced by his patron Sir Walter Raleigh, to Henry earl of Northumberland, who allowed him a penfion of 120l. per annum. He fpent many years in Sion College; where he died in July 1621, of a cancer in his lip, and was buried in the church of St Chriftopher, where a handfome monument was erected to his memory. Anthony Wood tells us he was a deift. He was one of the first mathematicians of the age in which he lived, and will always be remembered as the inventor of the prefent improved method of algebraical calculation; which was adopted by Des Cartes, and for a confiderable time impofed upon the French nation as his own invention; but -the theft was at laft detected by Dr Wallis, in his Hiftory of Algebra, where our author's invention is accurately fpecified.

He left feveral other MSS. which were inspected by Dr Zach, aftronomer to the duke of Saxe-Gotha, in 1784, at Petworth, in Suffex, the feat of the earl of Evremont, a defcendant of Hen ry Earl of Northumberland. Dr Zach published an account of them in the Aftronomical Ephemeri for 1788: from which it appears, that Harriot had made great discoveries in aftronomy; particularly that he had obferved the fpots in the fun fo earl as Dec. 8, 1610; which was 18 months earlic than Galileo's first published obfervations refpect ing them; and that he had alfo difcovered the fa tellites of Jupiter, and made drawings of their po fitions, and calculations of their revolutions, in Jar 1610, the fame month when Galileo difcovere them.

The fish on this coaft are more numerous, and of larger dimenfions,, than those on the oppofite continent; on which account, two royal fishing stations were begun in the reign of Charles I. one in Loch Maddie, and the other in the Sound of Harris. A phenomenon is remarked by the Rev. Mr M'Leod, in the tides of this Sound :-"From the autumnal to the vernal equinox, the current in neap tides paffes all day from E. to W. and all night in the contrary direction.

He was the fon of a butcher, and had been raised to the rank of Colonel, and afterwards of general, in the army of the parliament. Dr Goldfmith gives the following account of his behaviour at his trial and execution: "Gen. Harrison, who was firft brought to his trial, pleaded his caufe with that undaunted firmnefs which he had fhewn through life. What he had done, he faid, was from the impulfe of the Spirit of God. He would not, for any benefit to himself, hurt a hair of the pooreft man or woman upon earth; and during the ufurpation of Cromwell, when all acknowledged his right, or bowed down to his power, he had bold ly upbraided the ufurper to his face; and all the terrors of imprisonment, and allurements of am bition, had not been able to bend him to a com pliance to that deceitful tyrant.' Harrison's death was marked with the fame admirable conftancy which he fhewed at his trial.-Some circumstances of fcandalous barbarity attended the execution. Harrifon's entrails were torn out, and thrown inthe fire before he expired. His head was fixed on the fledge that drew Coke and Peters to the place of execution with the face turned towards them." Vol. III. p. 331, 332. (2.) HARRISON, John, the celebrated inventor of the famous TIME-KEEPER for afcertaining the longitude at fea, and alfo of the compound, or, as it is commonly called, the gridiron pendulum; was born at Foulby, near Pontefract, in Yorkshire, in 1693. The vigour of his natural abilities, if not ftrengthened by want of education, which confined his attention to few objects, at leaft amply compenfated for it; as appeared from the astonishing progrefs he made in that branch of mechanics to which he devoted himself. His father was a carpenter, in which he affifted, and occafionally furveyed land, and repaired clocks and watches. He was, from his childhood, attached to any machinery moving by wheels, as appeared while he lay fick of the small-pox about the 6th year of his age, when he had a watch placed open upon his pillow, to amufe himself by contemplating the movement. In 1700, he removed with his father to Barrow, in Lincolnshire; where he eagerly improved every incident from which he might collect information; frequently employing great part of his nights in writing or drawing: and he always acknowledged his obligations to a clergyman who lent him a MS. copy of profeffor Saunderson's Lectures; which he carefully transcribed, with all the diagrams. In 1726, he had conftructed two clocks, moftly of wood, in which he applied the escapement and compound pendulum of his own invention: these furpaffed every thing then made, scarcely erring a fecond in a month. In 1728, he came up to London with the drawings of a machine for détermining the longitude at fea, in expectation of being enabled to execute one by the Board of Longitude. Upon application to Dr Halley, he referred him to Mr George Graham; who advised him to make his machine before he applied to the Board. He returned home to perform this tafk; and in 1735, came to London with his firft machine; with which he was fent to Lisbon the next year for a trial of its properties. In this fhort voyage he corrected the dead reckoning about a degree and a half; which fuccefs procured him both public and private encouragement. About 1739, he completed his ad machine, of a conftruction much more fimple than the former, and which answered much better: this, though not fent to fea, recommended him ftill more to patronage. His third machine, in 1749, was still lefs complicated than the 2d, and fuperior in accuracy, erring only 3 or 4 feconds in a week. This he conceived to be the ne plus ultra of his attempts; but in an endeavour to improve pocket watches, the principles he applied furpaffed his expectations fo much, asto encourage him to make his 4th time-keeper, which is in the form of a pocket watch, about fix inches diameter. With this time-keeper his fon made two voyages, the one to Jamaica, and the other to Bar badoes: rious note on Harrison's Letter to Swift, has confounded him with Thomas Harrison, M. A. of Queen's-college. In Nichols's Select Collection are fome pleafing specimens of his poetry; which with Woodstock Park in Dodley's Collection, and an ode to the Duke of Marlborough, 1707, in Duncombe's Horace, are all the poetical writings that are known of this excellent young man; who figured both as a humourist and a politician in the 5th vol. of the Tatler, of which (under the patronage of Bolingbroke, Henley, and Swift) he was profeffedly the editor.

Anne; and the inventor therefore, at different times, though not without great trouble, received the propofed reward of 20,000l. Thefe 4 machines were given up to the Board of Longitude. The three former were now of no ufe, as all their advantages were comprehended in the laft; they were worthy, however, of being carefully preferved as mechanical curiofities, in which might be traced the gradations of ingenuity executed with the most delicate workmanship. They are kept in the royal obfervatory at Greenwich. The 4th machine, emphatically called The TIMEKEEPER, has been copied by the ingenious Mr Kendal; and that duplicate, during a 3 years circumnavigation of the globe in the fouthern hemifphere by Captain Cook, answered as well as the original. The latter part of Mr Harrifon's life was employed in making a 5th improved timekeeper on the fame principles with the preceding one; which at the end of a ten week's trial, in 1772, at the king's private obfervatory, at Richmond, erred only 44 feconds. Within a few years of his death, he had frequent fits of the gout, a disorder that never attacked him before his 77th year: he died at his houfe in Red Lion Square, in 1776, aged 83. His reclufe manner of life in the unremitted pursuit of his favourite object, was not calculated to qualify him as a man of the world; and the many difcouragements he encountered, in foliciting the legal reward of his labours, ftill lefs difpofed him to accommodate himself to the humours of mankind. In converfing on his profeffion, he was clear, diftinct, and modeft; but found a difficulty in explaining his meaning by writing; in which he adhered to a peculiar and uncouth phrafeology. This was evident in his Description concerning fuch mechanism as will afford a nice or true menfuration of time, &c. 8vo. 1775; in which he obftinately refused to accept of any affiftance whatever. This work contains also an account of his new mufical scale, or mechanical divifion of the octave, according to the proportion which the radius and diameter of a circle have refpectively to the circumference. He had in his youth been the leader of a diftinguifhed band of church-fingers; had a very delicate ear for mufic; and his experiments on found, with a moft curious monochord of his own improvement, are reported to have been no lefs accurate than thofe he was engaged in for the mensuration of time.
