CESURE, orCiESURA, in the Latin Poetry, a Syl- lable remaining at the End of a Foot, and feeming as it were detach'd from it, to begin the following Foot 5 as in this Verfe,

Arma Virimzque cano I'ro'yx. qui primus ab oris : where the Syllables no and j> are Cefures.

In the modern Poetry, Ccfv.rc is properly a Reft, form'd in the middle of long Verfes. In Alexandrine Verfes, of 12 or 13 Syllables, the Cefure muft always be the fixth; in Verfes of 10 on the fourth - 7 and in thofe of 12 on the fixth : Verfes of eight Syllables muft not have any Cefitre. See Verse.

The Cefure, by affording a Reft in the middle of a long Verfc, to aid the Voice and Pronunciation, divides the Verfe, as it were, into two Hemifticks. See Rest, and Pause.

CETACEOUS, in Natural Hiflory, a Term apply'd to all large Fifties, and Sea Monfters, which bear a rcfem- blance to the V/hale. Sec Whale.

The Word is form'd of the Latin Cetus, Whale. See Fish.

The Horn ufually call'd the Unicorn's Horn, is found to be rhe Tooth of a Cetaceous Pifh. in the Icy Sea, call'd 2farWl. See Unicorn.

CETERIS, or CETERIS "Paribus, a Latin Term, or Phrafe, in frequent ufe among Mathematical and Phyfical "Writers.

The Words literally fignify, the rejl, or the other things heing alike, or equal j which expreffes pretty nearly their Meaning as a Term.

Thus, we fay, %b$ heavier the Bullet, ceteris paribus, the greater the Range $ i.e. by how much the Bullet is heavier, if the Length and Diameter of the Piece, and the Quantity and Strength of the Pouder be the fame, by fo much will the utmoft Range or Diftance of a Piece of Ordnance be.

Thus alfo, in a Phyfical way, we fay, *fhe Velocity and Quantity of Shod circulating in a given T'ime, thro any Setlion of an Artery, -will, ceteris paribus, be according to its (Diameter, and neamefs to, or difiance from the Heart.

CHACE, I „ SChase. CHACING, S &ee ^Chasing.

Chace of a Gltn, is the whole Bore, or Length of a Piece of Ordnance on the Infide. See Gun, Cannon, Ord- nance, ££c.

Chace, in the Sea Language, fignifies 'Parfuit : Thus, to give Chace to a Ship, is to follow, and fetch her up.

Chace-Gjms, or Ch ACK-'Pieces, are thofe lying in the Head and Stern of the Ship.

CHACOON, or CHACONDE, a kind of Dance, in the Air of a Saraband, deriv'd from the Moors. The Bafs al- ways coniifls of four Notes, which proceed in conjunct De- grees ; and whereon they make divers Concords and Cou- plets with the fame Burden.

The Word is form'd of the Italian Ciacona, of Cecone, a blind Man 3 this Air being faid to be the Invention of a blind Man.

CHAFE-Rfe, or CHAUFFE-Z^*, an Officer in Chan- cery, whole Bufinefs is to fit the Wax for the fealing of Writs, Patents, and other Inftruments iffu'd thence. See Chancery.

CHAGRIN, CHAGRAIN, or, as it's vulgarly call'd, SHAGREEN ; a kind of grain'd Leather, chiefly us'd in the Covers of Cafes, Books, (gc. It is very clofe and fo- lid, and cover'd over with little roundifh Grains, or 'pa- pilla?. It is brought from Conftantinople, Zauns, Tripoli, Algiers, and fome Parts of Poland.

There is a Difpute among Authors what the Animal is whence the Chagrin is prepar'd : Some fay 'tis a Horfe, 0- thers a Mule, and fome an Afs ; and that only the hard Part of the Skin is us'd for this purpofe. Sorel fays 'tis a Sea-Calf; others a kind of Fifh, call'd by the Turks Chtl- grain, whofe Skin is cover'd with Grains ; and thofe fo hard that they will rafp and polifh Wood.

The manner of preparing the Chagrin. The Skin being juft flea'd off, is ftretch'd out, cover'd over with Muitard.feed, and the Seed bruis'd on it ; and thus expos'd to the Weather for fome Days ; then tann'd.

The befl is that brought from Conftantimplc, of a grey- ifh Colour 3 the white is the worft. 'Tis extremely hard, yet, when fteep'd in Water, becomes very foft and pliable ; whence it becomes of great Ufe among Cafemakers. It takes any Colour that is given it ; red, green, yellow, black. It is frequently counterfeited by M.'.roquin form'd like

Chagrin ;
