From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night, Fire answers fire; and through their paly flames Id. Umber is very sensible and earthy; there is nothing but pure black which can dispute with it. Dryden. The umbers, ochres, and minerals found in the fissures, are much finer than those found in the strata. Woodward. UMBER, OF UMBRE, in 'natural history, a fossil brown or blackish substance, used in painting; so called from Ombria, the ancient name of the duchy of Spoleto in Italy, whence it was first obtained; diluted with water, it serves to make a dark brown color, usually called with us a hair color. Dr. Hill and Mr. da Costa consider it as an earth of the ochre kind. It is found in Egypt, Italy, Spain, and Germany; in Cyprus also it is found in large quantities; but what is brought into England is principally from different parts of the Turkish dominions. But it might be found in considerable plenty also in England and Ireland, if properly looked after, several large masses of it having been thrown up in digging on Mendip hills in Somersetshire, and in the county of Wexford in Ireland: it is also sometimes found in the veins of lead ore both in Derbyshire and Flintshire. UMBILICAL, adj. Fr. umbilicale; Lat. umbilicus. Belonging to the navel. Birds are nourished by umbilical veins, and the navel is manifest a day or two after exclusion. Browne's Vulgar Errours.

UMBILICAL, among anatomists, something relating to the umbilicus or navel. UMBILICAL CORD, or the navel-string, the hollow ligament by which an embryo communicates with the mother, and draws nourishment from her. This must be carefully cut by the midwife or accoucheur, after parturition, as negligence or inattention to this is often the cause of fatal ruptures. See MIDWIFERY. UM'BO, n. s. Lat. umbo. The pointed boss, or prominent part of a buckler. Thy words together tied in small banks, Close as the Macedonian phalanx ; Or like the umbo of the Romans, Which fiercest foes could break by no means. Swift. UM'BRAGE, n. s. Fr. ombrage; Lat. UMBRA'GEOUS, adj. umbra. Shade; skreen UMBRA GEOUSNESS, n. s.. of trees; shadow; dark appearance: hence suspicion; offence; anger; revenge: the adjective and noun substantive follow chiefly the literal sense. Although he went on with the war, yet it should be but with his sword in his hand, to bend the stiffness of the other party to accept of peace: and so the king should take no umbrage of his arming and prosecution. Bacon. Walk daily in a pleasant, airy, and unbrageous garden, Harvey. The rest are umbrages quickly dispelled; the astrologer subjects liberty to the motions of heaven. Bramhall against Hobbes. O, might I here In solitude live savage; in some glade Obscured, where highest woods, impenetrable I can carry your umbrella, and fan your ladyship. Dryden. Good housewives, Defended by the umbrella's oily shed, Safe through the wet on clinking pattens tread. Gay. UMBRIATICO, a town of Italy, in the southwest of the kingdom of Naples, in Calabria Citra, situated near the river Lipuda, about six miles from the coast of the gulf of Tarento.

It is fortified and regularly laid out as an exact square. The streets are wide, and intersect each other at right angles. In the centre stands the royal palace, which consists of a number of wooden buildings of various forms, baving domes covered with gilt copper, and the whole surrounded by an enclosure of teak planks, having four gates. It may be half a mile in circumference. The city is divided into four distinct quarters, each of which is governed by its own officer; and no town in Europe can boast of a better police. The circumference of the city is about two miles. UM'PIRE, n. s. Minshieu after Skinner derives this word from Fr. un père, a father. Mr. Thomson suggests the Ital. nomo pari, or Lat. home decides disputes: sometimes taken simply for a An arbitrator; one who, as a common friend, judge; the referee of arbitrators. par. Among those persons, going to law was utterly a fault, being ordinarily on such accounts as were too light for the hearing of courts and umpires. Kettlewell. UN, a Saxon privative or negative particle answering to Lat. in; Gr. a; Belg. on; and Dan. un ; is placed almost at will before adjectives and ad verbs. All the instances of this kind cannot be inserted; we preserve, after Johnson, a number sufficient to explain it. He says, 'in and un may be thus distinguished: to words merely English we prefix un, as unfit; to words borrowed in the positive sense, but made negative by ourselves, we prefix un, as generous, ungenerous. When we borrow both words, we retain the Latin or French in, as elegant, inelegant; politic, impolitic. Before substantives, if they have the English termination ness, it is proper to prefix un, as unfitness, ungraciousness. If they have the Latin or French terminations in tude, ice, or ence, and for the most part if they end in ty, the negative in is put before them, as unapt, unaptness, inaptitude; unjust, injustice; imprudence; unfaithful, unfaithfulness, infidelity'. We take the liberty, in this extensive collection of compounds, to be generally content with one or two good illustrations. UNABASHED, adj. From abashed. Not shamed; not confused by modesty.
