LINDSEY (Theophilus), a modern divine of the Unitarian persuasion, was born at Middlewich in Cheshire, in 1723. He received his early education at Middlewich and Leeds, and at the age of eighteen was admitted a scholar at St. John's Cambridge. Having taken orders, by the recommendation of the earl of Huntingdon, his sponsor, he was appointed domestic chaplain to the duke of Somerset, and in 1754 accompanied earl Percy to the continent. On his return he married the daughter of Mr. archdeacon Blackburne, and was presented to a living in Dorsetshire, which he exchanged in 1764 for that of Catterick, Yorkshire. In 1771 he zealously co-operated with his father-in-law, Dr. John Jebb, and others, to obtain relief in regard to subscription to the thirty-nine articles, and soon after, having rejected the doctrine of the Trinity, he resigned his livings, and came to London, where he opened the Unitarian Chapel in Essex Street, Strand; and conducted the service according to the plan of a liturgy, altered from that of the establishment by the celebrated Dr. Samuel Clarke. About the same time he published his Apology, of which several editions were printed. This was followed by A Sequel to the Apology, in which he replies to the various answers given to that work. He continued to conduct the services of his chapel in conjunction with Dr. Disney until 1793, when he resigned the pulpit, but continued actively to employ his pen. In 1802 he published his last work, entitled Considerations on the Divine

Government. He died November 3d, 1803, in his eightieth year. Besides the above works he wrote, On the Preface to St. John's Gospel ; On Praying to Christ; An Historical View of the State of the Unitarian Doctrine and Worship, from the Reformation; and several other pieces. Two volumes of his sermons have also been published since his death, and a life of him by Mr. Belsham.

LINDUM, an ancient town of Britain, on or near the site of Lincoln, possessed by the Horesti; mentioned by Richard of Cirencester, with Alauna and Victoria, as the three principal cities of that people. If the conjectures of the moderns are just, that Alauna was Alnwick, Lindum Lincoln, and Victoria Perth, the dominions of the Horesti must have been very extensive.

LINDUS, in ancient geography, a town of Rhodes, situated on a hill on the west side of the island. It was built by Tlepolemus the son of Hercules, according to Diodorus Siculus; by Lindas, one of the Heliades, grandsons of Apollo, according to Strabo. It was the native place of Cleobulus, one of the seven wise men; and had a famous temple of Lindian Minerva, built by the daughters of Danaus. Cadmus enriched it with many splendid offerings. The citizens dedicated and hung up here the seventh of Pindar's Olympic odes, written in letters of gold. The ruins of this superb edifice are still to be seen on the top of a high hill which overlooks the sea. Relics of the walls, consisting of stones of an enormous size, still show it to have been built in the Egyptian style. The pillars and other ornaments have been carried off. On the most elevated peak of the rock are the ruins of a castle, which may have served as a fortress to the city. Its circumference is very extensive.
