The Manner of making Tar and Pitch, 
HE Pitch-Pine is that from which a and Pitch is made, 
it bls elding much more 
rofin than any of ie other kinds: 
Thefe trees grow ufually by iene with very few of any 
other intermixed. e dead trees are onl coliverted to this ufe, 
which ue are nite numbers ftanding and lying along, 
being killed by age, lightning, burning the woods, &c. Th 
dead trunks and li of thefe trees, by virtue of the rofi 
tk ntain, remain found many years after the fap is rotted

lightwood is cut in pie bout four foot long,

heap, is fplit again into fmaller pieces; then the floor of th 
wood; in this manner le is dra thirty foot diameter, 
more or lefs, the gro between it being laid declining, fr 
the edges to the centre al! round about, fixteen inches, more or

due from the ce of the circle to the edge or rim, nae on-

hole is dug to receive a ba Tn this trench a wooden pi 
is let in of about three inches diameter, one en ereof being 
laid fo as to appear at the centre of the circle, the other en 
declining about two foot, a ich the earth is thrown in 
and the pipe buried, and fo remains till the kiln is built. The 
clay is fpread all over the circle about three inches thick, a
