Simeon, Bart., THOMAS COATES, Esq., Secretary, No. 59, Lincoln's Inn Fields, PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES, Duke Street, Stamford Street, Lambeth, ANDO'CIDES, the son of Leogoras, of a noble Athe- | nian family, was born about B.C. 468. We find him, during the war of the Corcyræans and Corinthians, commanding, reply to an accusation brought against him by Ca ANDORRA, a valley on the southern side of the central Pyrenees, situated between two of the highest mountains, the Maladeta and the Moncal, the former 3808 and the latter 3570 yards above the sea. The extent of this valley is forty miles in length, and twenty-four in breadth; it is bounded on the east and south by the territory of Puigcerdá, by Talarn on the west, and on the north by the Pyrenees and the county of Foix, in France. The rivers Balira, Odino, and Os irrigate its grounds, and flow into the main stream, the Segre, which is a branch of the Ebro. The territory is mountainous, but abundant in pasturage. At Caldes, as its name imports, are abundant thermal springs. Its forests produce a great quantity of timber, which is carried down the rivers Balira and Segre into the Ebro, and thence to Tortosa. The mountains abound in bears, wolves, wild boars, goats, and other species of game. Besides Andorra it contains five other villages; Encampo, Masano, Ordino, San Julian, and Camillo, the latter remarkable for its iron mines. The capital, Andorra, is situated on the river Balira, and contains 2000 inhabitants. Abbé Auger, 1792. The oration on the Mysteries was pronounced when Andocides was about seventy years jointly with Glaucon, an Athenian squadron which was violating a law respecting the temple of Ceres as Eleusis. sent to aid the Corcyræans (Thucyd. i. 51). After this he The oration contains, besides the immediate sabject of the appears to have been employed as ambassador on numerous defence, much information on other parts of the orator's foreign missions. During the Peloponnesian war (about life. It is an admirable specimen of simple and perspicuous B.C. 415) Andocides was involved in the charge of muti-language, and equally remarkable for the, skill with which lating the Hermæ, (see ALCIBIADES,) and, according to the defence is conducted. Plutarch, he saved himself by accusing his real or imaginary accomplices, and among them his own father, whom however he succeeded in rescuing from capital punishment. But the history of all this transaction is obscure. After this event Andocides went abroad and visited Sicily, Italy, the Peloponnesus, and Thessaly: he also visited Asia Minor and the island of Cyprus, where he became on good terms with the king of Citium, to whom he is accused of delivering up his own cousin, a female, whom he had carried off from Athens. The story rests on doubtful authority; but the king and the Athenian adventurer appear to have quarrelled, and Andocides made his way back to Athens. The Four Hundred at this time (R.c. 411) directed the administration of affairs, and Andocides, who was always in trouble, was accused apparently on frivolous grounds, and thrown into prison. On being released he set out again to Cyprus, and attached himself to Evagoras, king of Salamis. But he quarrelled with this new acquaintance also, and again returning to Athens after the restoration of the popular government, he was once more compelled to quit the place and to retire to Elis. On the overthrow of the Thirty Ty- Andorra is an independent republic, and though double in rants by Thrasybulus, (B.c. 403,) Andocides returned to extent, is less known than that of San Marino, in Italy.

The remainder of his life is obscure. France and the other by the bishop of Urgel. Lewis le The life of Andocides, attributed to Plutarch, speaks of his Debonnaire gave the sovereignty of this valley to Sisebeing sent to Lacedæmon on the subject of the peace (ris bertus, the first bishop of Urgel, in 819, and from that tipnuns), in which affair he conducted himself in such a way time it has maintained its independence between France and as not to venture back to Athens. This peace has been Spain. Andorra, the chief town, on the Balira, has about conjectured to be that of Antalcidas, B.C. 387, but at this 2000 inhabitants. The people of the territory speak a time Andocides was eighty-one years of age, if the date of Catalan dialect. his birth is correctly given, and not likely to have been employed on such a mission. It is unfortunate that the events of this orator's rambling life are not better known. The times during which he lived were full of important occurrences, and a minute account of his life and adventures would have thrown great light on the internal history of Athens and that of other states also. There is little doubt that he was a man of ability, but without any principle. Four extant orations are attributed to Andocides: On the Mysteries: On his (second) Return to Athens: On the Peace with the Lacedæmonians; and that Against Alcibiades. The authenticity of the third and fourth are disputed, that of the third at least, perhaps, with good reason. The orations of Andocides are found in the collections of the Athenian orators, by H. Stephens (1575), in that by Reiske, and in the later edition of Bekker. They are also in Dobson's collection (1828), with the Lectiones Andocide of Sluiter, &c.

A'NDOVER, a borough and parish in the N.W. part of the county of Hants, and on the border of the downs which stretch into Wiltshire. It is on the left bank of the river Anton, (a branch of the Tese, or Test, which falls into Southampton water,) and from its situation, gets the name of Andover, (Saxon, Andeafaran,) i. e., ferry, or passage over the river Ande. It is 63 or 64 miles W.S.W. from London; 51° 12′ 30′′ N. lat., 1° 28′ W. long. from Greenwich. The three principal streets are well paved, but not lighted; the houses are well built, and the town is well supplied with water. The church is near the north end of it, and is a spacious structure, of very great antiquity, having existed as far back as the time of the Conqueror. At the west end is a fine semicircular, arched doorway, with zigzag mouldings. The living, a vicarage, with the chapelry of Foxcote annexed, is in the patronage of Winchester College. There |
