PANORPA, the SCORPION FLY, in zoology, a genus of infects belonging to the order of neuroptera. The roftrum is horny and cylindrical; there are two pappi, and 3 stemonata; the feelers are, longer than the thorax. The body is of a black brown colour, yellow on the fides, with a few spots of the fame on the top. Its tail, formed by the 3 laft fegments of the abdomen, is of a maroon colour; of these three segments, the last is largeft, almoft round, and terminates in two hooks, which conftitutes a tail like that of the fcorpion. The wings, as long as the body, are diaphanus, reticulated with fibres-and ftripes of spots of a brown colour. There are different varieties of this infect, confifting in the colour of the wings. Some, inLead of feveral ftripes of fpots upon their wings, have only a fingle black ftripe, tranfverfe and irregular, on the middle of the wing, the extremity whereof is also black: others have their wings entirely white, excepting the extremity, which is black. The forceps that is feen at the hinder part of this infect is ufed by the males to lay hold of their females in their amorous embraces: the threatening tail of the male does no mifchief. This infect is found in meadows, by the fides of ditches. There are four fpecies, diftinguished by the colour and fhape of their wings. See Plate CCLXVI.

(2.) PANTHEA, plur. n. f. in antiquity, fingle ftatues, compofed of the figures or fymbols of feveral different divinities together. F. Joubert, who calls them panthea, and who has remarked them, fometimes on medals, fays their heads are moft commonly adorned with the fymbols or attributes belonging to feveral gods. An inftance of this. appears in a medal of Antoninus Pius; which reprefents Serapis by the bufhel it bears; the fun, by the crown of rays; Jupiter Ammon, by the ram's horns; Pluto, by the large beard; and Æfculapius, by the ferpent twifted in his hand. M. Baudelot, in a differtation on the Lares, obferves, that the panthea had their origin from the fuperftition of thofe who, taking feveral gods for the protectors of their houses, united them all in the fame statue, by adorning it with the feveral fymbols proper to each of these deities.

PANTHEISM, n. f. a philosophical fpecies of idolatry leading to atheism, in which the univerfe was confidered as the supreme God. Who was the inventor of this abfurd system is not known; but it was of early origin, and differently modified by different philofophers. Some held the univerfe to be one immenfe animal, of which the incorporeal foul was properly their god, and the heavens and earth the body of that god: whilft others held but one fubftance, partly active and partly paffive; and therefore looked upon the vifible univerfe as the only Numen. The earliest Grecian Pantheist of whom we read, was Orpheus, who called the world the body of God, and its feveral parts his members, making the whole universe one divine animal. According to Cud

worth, Orpheus and his followers believed in the immaterial foul of the world; therein agreeing with Ariftotle, who certainly held that God and matter are co-eternal; and that there is some fuch union between them as fubfifts between the foule and bodies of men. (See METAPHYSICS, Sect XXXV.) With refpect to the universe being God, and all things divine and human being mo difications of mere matter, the ftoics undoubtedly agreed with Anaximander and his followers; for the fchool of Zeno held but one fubftance. This impious doctrine, that all things are God, and that there is but one substance, was revived in modern times by Spinoza an apoftate Jew. See PAN, N° 1. and SPINOZA.

(1.) * PANTHEON. n. f. {xav&tio.] A temple of all the gods.

[ocr errors]

(2.) PANTHEON, a beautiful edifice at Rome, anciently a temple dedicated to all the gods; but now converted into a church, and dedicated to the Virgin and all the martyrs. It is generally thought to have been built by Agrippa, fon-in-law to Auguftus, because it has the following infcrip tion on the frieze of the portico: M. AGRIPPA L. F. COS. TERTIUM FECIT. Several antiquá rians and artifts, however, have supposed that the pantheon exifted in the times of the commonwealth; and that it was only embellished by Agrippa, who added the portico. Be this as it will, however, the pantheon, when perfected by Agrippa, was an exceedingly magnificent building; the form of whofe body is round or cylindrical, and its roof or dome is spherical: it is 144 feet diameter within; and the height of it, from the pavement to the grand aperture on its top, through which it receives the light, is juft as much. It is of the Corinthian order. The inner circumference is divided into 7 grand niches, wrought in the thicknefs of the wall: fix of which are flat at the top; but the 7th, oppofite to the entrance, is arched. Before each nich are two columns of antique yellow marble fluted, and of one entire block, making in all 14, the fineft in Rome. The whole wall of the temple, as high as the grand cornice, inclufive, is cafed with divers forts of precious marble in compartments. The frieze is entirely of porphyry. Above the grand cornice arifes an attic, in which were wrought, at equal distances, 14 oblong fquare niches: Between each nich were four marble pilafters, and between the pilafters marble tables of various kinds. This attic had a complete entablature; but the cornice projected lefs than that of the grand order below. Immediately from the cornice fprings the spherical roof, divided by bands, which cross each other like the meridians and parallels of an artificial terrestrial globe. The spaces between the bands decrease in fize as they approach the top of the roof; to which, however, they do not reach, there being a confiderable plain space between them and the great opening. That fo bold a roof might be as light as poffible, the architect formed the fubftance of the fpaces between the bands of nothing but lime and pumice-ttones. The walls below were decorated with lead and brafs, and works of carved filver over them; and the roof was covered on the outfide with plates of gilded bronze. There was an afcent from the springing of the

roof

of all the remains of its ancient grandeur, viz. the brazen coverture of the cross beams, which amounted to a prodigious quantity. This pope, who was of the family of Barbarini, presented as much of this metal to his nephew as was fufficient for the decoration of his new palace; on which occafion this pasquinade was stuck up: Quod non fecerunt Barbari fecere Barbarini. Alexander VII. did what Urban had neglected to do. He ordered fearch to be made for pillars to match thofe of the portico of the pantheon; and fome were found of the very fame model. He also caused all the old houses before the portico to be pulled down, and the rubbish to be cleared away which covered the fteps, and the bases of the pillars. Clement IX. inclosed the portico within iron rails. Several later popes have added to its decorations, which were all in the tafte of the times they were done in; and the body of the edifice and its architecture gained nothing from them.

(3.) PANTHEON, the name of another temple at Rome, dedicated to Minerva, as the goddess of medicine. It was in the form of a decagon, and the distance from one angle to another measured 22 feet and an half. Between the angles there were g round chapels, each of which was defigned for a deity; and over the gate there was a statue of Minerva.

roof to the very fummit by a flight of 7 ftairs. The portico is compofed of 16 columns of granite, 4 feet in diameter, eight of which stand in front, with an equal intercolumniation all along. The afcent to the portico is by 8 or 9 fteps. Such was the pantheon, the richness of which induced Pliny to rank it among the wonders of the world. The eruption of Vefuvius, in the reign of Tiberius, damaged the Pantheon very confiderably: it was repaired by Domitian and Adrian. But the pantheon is more indebted to Septimius Severus, than to any one fince its erection. Septimius beftowed effential reparations upon it, as appears from an infcription upon the architrave. The temple fubfifted in all its grandeur till the incur fion of Alaric. Zozymus relates, that the Romans having engaged to furnish this barbarian prince with 3000lb. of gold, and 5000lb. of filver, upon condition that he should depart from their walls, and it being impoffible to raife thofe fums, they ftript the temples of their statues and orna. ments of gold and filver. Genferic king of the Vandals 39 years after took away part of their marbles; and loaded one of his fhips with ftatues. On this occafion the ineftimable works of Diogenes became the prey of this barbarian. The Christian emperors had iffued edicts for demolish ing the Pagan temples. But the Romans spared the pantheon, which suffered no damage from the zeal of the pontiffs, or the indignation of the faints, before the firft fiege of Rome by Alaric. It remained fo rich till about A. D. 655, as to excite the avarice of Conftantine II. who came from Conftantinople and pillaged the pantheon of its brazen coverings, which he transported to Syracufe, where they foon after fell into the hands of the Saracens. About 50 years before this, pope Boniface IV. had obtained the pantheon of the emperor Phocas, to make a church of it. The artists of these days fpoiled every thing they laid their hands upon. After the devastations com, mitted by the barbarians, Rome was contracted within a narrow compafs. The pantheon standing at the entrance of the Campus Martius, was furrounded with houfes, which spoiled the fine prospect of it; and fome of them were built close to its walls. Pedlars fhades were built within its portico, and the intercolumniations were bricked up to the irreparable damage of the matchlefs pillars, of which fome loft part of their capitals, and others were chiffeled out 6 or 7 inches deep, and as many feet high, to let in pofts. This disorder continued till the pontificate of Eugene IV. who had all the houses cleared away, and fo the miferable barracks in the portico were knocked down. Benedict II. covered it with lead, which Nicholas V. renewed in a better style. Raphael Urban, who had no equal as a painter, and as an architect no fuperior, left a confiderable fum by his will for the reparation of the pantheon, where his tomb is placed. La Vagua, Udino, Hannibal Carracci, Flamingo Vacca, and Archangelo Corelli, did the fame. Pope Urban VIII. was a protector and practifer of the arts. He repaired it; but while he built up with one hand, he pulled down with the other. He caufed two belfries of a wretched tafte to be erected on the ancient front work, and he divested the portico

(4.) PANTHEON. In the Efcurial is a magnificent chapel, called pantheon, 35 feet in diameter, and 38 feet high from the pavement, which is compofed of marble and jasper inlaid. The whole infide of the chapel is of black marble, except the luthern, and fome ornaments of jafper and red marble. In this chapel are deposited the bodies of the kings and queens; there are only places for 26, and 8 of them are already filled.

(5.) The PANTHEON OF ATHENS was in many refpects little inferior to the Roman one built by Agrippa. The Greek Chriftians also converted it into a church, dedicated it to the Virgin, under the name of Panegia; and the Turks changed it into a mofque.

(6.) The PANTHEON OF NISMES was a temple in that city, wherein were 12 niches or ftatues, fuppofed to have been destined for the 12 great gods.

(7.) PANTHEON, in literary history, a name affumed by a fpeculative Society, eftablished at Edinburgh for public debate upon various subjects, and carried on for above 20 years. It was firft inftituted in December 1770, or 1771, by a number of young gentlemen, moftly engaged in the ftudies of law, phyfic, or divinity, under the name of the Debating Society, and held for upwards of two years in St John's Lodge, Canongate. But fome differences having arisen among the members, refpecting its management, a schism took place, and the principal fpeakers erected a new Society under the name of the Pantheon, in the end of 1773; which met weekly, first in St Giles's Lodge, and afterwards in Mary's Chapel, for above 18 years. The objects of the inftitution were to mingle the utile with the dulce-public improvement with public amufement, by accultoming the members and all vifitors, who inclin ed to take part in the debates, to a facility in

Such an inftitution, it was fometimes remarked, had it been established in London, in the early years of the celebrated Mr Addison, would, in all probability, have accuftomed him to deliver himself with eafe, and have prevented his failure in the only public oration he ever attempted to make. The fubjects were extremely various 3-literary, fpeculative, philofophical, moral, hiftorical, biographical, political, and fometimes religious. A fubject, in the form of an alternative question, was announced from the chair, at the one meeting, difcuffed at the next, and at the conclufion of the debate, decided by a vote of the company. The Society was for many years extremely popular, and often very much crowded by Ladies and Gentlemen of the first rank. Divines, physicians, writers to the fignet, advocates, Baronets, Members of Parliament, and even Peers, honoured it with their attendance, and occafionally took part in the debates; on which occafions they were admitted honorary members. On queftions of public importance, very capital orations were delivered in it.

Thefe funds arole chiefly from the weekly contribution of fixpence paid by each vifitor for admiffion. The chief cause of its being given up, and the debates fufpended, was the political ferment that took place in the public mind, in 1791-2, in confequence of the French Revolution. Accordingly, it was thought improper to continue a Society, the laws of which authorifing full freedom of debate, feditious or treasonable perfons might have made an unjustifiable ufe of this.privilege; and no meeting has been held fince 1791.
