Many speeches there are of Job's, whereby his wisdom and other virtues may appear; but the glory of an ingenuous mind he hath purchased by these words only, Behold, I will lay mine hand upon my mouth; I have spoken once, yet will I not therefore maintain argument; yea twice, howbeit for that cause further I will not proceed. Hooker.

The king is mad: how stiff is my vile sense,
That I stand up, and have ingenious feeling
Of my huge sorrows! better I were distract.

Ingenuously I speak,
No blame belongs to thee.

INGLIS (Sir James), a Scottish poet, who flourished in the sixteenth century. He was educated at St. Andrew's, went to Paris, and returned in the minority of James V., into whose favor he ingratiated himself by his poetry, having poems, that were much applauded. He joined written sundry tragedies, comedies, and other the French faction against the English; and, in some skirmishes preceding the fatal battle of Pinkie, so distinguished himself, that he was knighted on the field. After that battle he retired into Fife, and amused himself with his favorite studies; and in 1548 published at St. Andrew's his Complaint of Scotland. He appears from this poem to have read more of Greek and Latin authors than was usual at that

period, and to have been well skilled in mathematics and philosophy. He died at Culross in 1554.

Then rolling back, in his capacious lap Ingulfs their whole militia, quick immerst. Phillips. INGULPHUS, abbot of Croyland, and author of the history of that abbey, was born in London, about A. D. 1030. He was educated at Westminster; and when he visited his father, who belonged to the court of Edward the Confessor, his learning engaged the attention of quern Edgitha. From Westminster he went to Oxford, where he studied rhetoric, and the Aristotelian philosophy, in which he made greater proficiency than any of his contemporaries. When he was about the age of twentyone he was introduced to William duke of Normandy, who visited the court of England in 1051, appointed him his secretary, and carried him with him into his own dominions. He soon became his chief favorite, and the dispenser of all preferments. This excited the envy and hatred of the courtiers; to avoid the effects of which, he obtained leave to go in pilgrimage to the Holy Land. With a company of fifty horsemen he joined Sigifrid duke of Mentz, who, with many German nobles, clergy, &c., was preparing for a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. When all united, they formed a company of 7000 pilgrims. In their way they spent some time at Constantinople, performing their devotions in the several churches. In their passage through Lycia they were attacked by a tribe of Arabs,

who killed, wounded, and plundered many of them of a prodigious mass of money. Those who escaped, after visiting Jerusalem, embarked on board a Genoese fleet and returned to Rome; where, after the usual devotions, they separated, and returned each to his own country. Ingulphus now became a monk in the abbey of Fontenelle in Normandy; in which, after some years, he was advanced to the office of prior. When William was preparing for his expedition into England, in 1066, he was sent by his abbot with 100 merks of money, and twelve young men, nobly mounted, and completely armed, as a present from that abbey. He was very graciously received by the king, who made him colnshire, in 1076; in which he spent the last governor of the rich abbey of Croyland in Linthirty-four years of his life, governing that society with great prudence, and protecting their possessions from the rapacity of the neighbouring barons by the royal favor. The lovers of English history and antiquities are much indebted to this learned abbot, for his excellent history of the abbey of Croyland, from its foundation, A. D. 664, to 1091, into which he has introduced much of the general history of the kingdom, nowhere else to be found. Ingulphus died of the gout, at his abbey, in 1109, aged seventy-nine.

Byron. Childe Harold. INHERITANCE, in English law, is an estate in lands or tenements, descending to a man and his heirs; and the word inheritance is not only intended where a man has lands or tenements by descent of heritage; but also every fee-simple or fee-tail, which a person has by purchase, may be said to be an inheritance, because his heirs may inherit it. Lit. sect. 9. One may also have inheritance by creation; as in case of the king's grant of peerage, by letters patent, &c. See FEE-SIMPLE.

Inheritances are also corporeal or incorporeal. Corporeal inheritances relate to houses, lands, &c., which may be touched or handled; and incorporeal inheritances are rights issuing out of, annexed to or exercised with, corporeal inheritances; as advowsons, tithes, annuities, offices, commons, franchises, privileges, services, &c. 1 Inst. 9. 49.

There is also several inheritance, which is, where two or more hold lands severally; if two men have lands given to them and the heirs of their two bodies, these have a joint estate during their lives; but their heirs have several inheritances. Without blood, none can inherit; therefore he who hath the whole and entire blood shall have an inheritance before him who hath but part of the blood of his ancestor. 3 Rep. 41. The law of inheritance prefers the first child before all others; the male before the feniale; and of males the first born, &c. And as to inheritances, if a man purchases land in fee, and dies without issue, those of the blood of the father's side shall inherit, if there be any; and, for want of such, the lands shall go to the heirs of the mother's side: but, if it come to the son by descent from the father, the heirs of the mother shall not inherit it. Plowd. 132. Lit. 4. 12. Goods and chattels cannot be turned into an inheritance. 3 Inst. 19. 126.

INHERSE', v. a. In and herse. To enclose in a funeral monument.

See, where he lies, inhersed in the arms Of the most bloody nurser of his harms. Shakspeare. INHIBIT, v. a. 2 Fr. inhiber; Lat. inhibeo. INHIBITION, n. s. To restrain, hinder, impede, or check: a prohibition or embargo.
