UNICAPSULAR PERICARP, in botany. Having one capsule to each flower,

UNICORN (Movoxepos, Greek.) An animal so denominated from its possessing but one horn. Among the Greeks and Romans it was usually described in some such manner as represented by our own heralds, and constituting one of the supporters of the royal arms; a kind of horse or ass with a single horn issuing from the forehead. Under this figure it is altogether an imaginary quadruped. Ctesius is perhaps the first of the Greek writers who thus delineates it; but its existence was doubted by Aristotle, and the description of Ctesius treated as fabulous.

The real unicorn is the rhinoceros, and it is the rhinoceros which is intended by this name in the books of the Old Testament: in which the Hebrew term is reem (.) sometimes, indeed, but improperly rendered by the translators bubalus, bison, or wild ox. There

can be no doubt that rhinoceros is the proper translation of reem (□), for it is under this name that this animal is known in Arabia to the present day: and the book of Job, in which the term chiefly occurs, is now admitted on all hands to be largely interspersed with Arabic terms, and is usually supposed to have been written by Moses in Arabia. (See Good's Translation of the Book of Job; Introductory Dissertation and note to ch. xxxix. 9.) The reem is also called in Arabia huaddee, which is literally unicorn, or the beast with one horn. In the same country aouda signifies a mare; and hence perhaps by an easy corruption of names the aouda has been mistaken for huaddee; and the figure of a horse with a horn has been erroneously adopted as the figure of the

reem.

II. cap. 4. called the Act of Uniformity. (See LITURGY.) The objects of this act were to ensure uniformity of worship, and uniformity of sentiment among the members of the church: the former of these objects it effects; in the latter it fails so entirely that there is great reason to apprehend that not above one-tenth of the English clergy are cordial believers in the doctrinal articles, or preach decidedly and clearly the doctrines of the church whose articles they have subscribed.

UNION, OF THE UNION, by way of eminence, has been more particularly used to express the act by which the two separate kingdoms of England and Scotland were incorporated into one, under the title of The kingdom of Great Britain. This union, in vain attempted by king James I. was at length effected in the year 1707, 6 Annæ, when 25 articles were agreed to by the parliament of both nations; the purport of the most considerable being as follows: 1. That on the first of May 1707, and for ever after, the kingdoms of England and Scotland shall be united into one kingdom, by the name of Great Britain.__2. The succession to the monarchy of Great Britain shall be the same as was before settled with regard to that of England. 3. The united kingdom shall be represented by one parliament. 4. There shall be a communication of all rights and privileges between the subjects of both kingdoms, except where it is otherwise agreed. 9. When England raises 2,000,000/. by a landtax, Scotland shall raise 48,000l. 16, 17. The standards of the coin, of weights, and of measures, shall be reduced to those of England throughout the united kingdoms. 18. The laws relating to trade, customs, and the excise, shall be the same in Scotland as in England. But all the other laws of Scotland shall remain in force; but alterable by the parliament of Great Britain. Yet with this caution, that laws relating to public policy are alterable at the discretion of the parliament; laws relating to private right are not to be altered but for the evident utility of the people of Scotland. 22. Sixteen peers are to be chosen to represent the peerage of Scotland in parliament, and 45 members to sit in the house of commons. 23. The 16 peers of Scotland shall have all privileges of parliament; and all peers of Scotland shall be peers of Great Britain, and rank next after those of the same degree at the time of the union, and shall have all privileges of peers, except sitting in the house of lords, and voting on the trial of a peer.

These are the principal of the 25 articles of union, which are ratified and confirmed by statute 5 Ann. c. 8. in which statute there are also two acts of parliament recited; the one of Scotland, whereby the church of Scotland, and also the four universities of that kingdom, are established for ever, and all succeeding sovereigns are to take an oath inviolably to maintain the same; the other of England, 5 Annæ, c. 6. whereby the acts of uniformity of 13 Eliz. and 13 Car. II. (except as the same had been altered by parliament at that time), and all other acts then in force for the preservation of the church of England, are declared perpetual; and it is stipulated, that every sub
