Amlwch is on the fea coaft, and is a 

 fmall place, where much buiinefs is done. 

 It is chiefly fupported by the copper mines, 

 and is, I underfland, in a great meafure, 

 inhabited by miners and other perfons, who 

 have fome concern in them. The church, 

 dedicated to Elaeth, a faint of the Britim 

 calendar, is a neat modern ilru&ure. Not 

 far from this place is the port, from whence 

 the ore brought from the mines is tranf- 

 ported to Liverpool and Swanfea. This, 

 though fmall, is extremely well adapted 

 to the bufinefs of exportation. It is a 

 chafm between two rocks, running far 

 into the land, and fufficiently large to re- 

 ceive thirty veflels of two hundred tons 

 burthen each. This was firft made at 

 the expence of the copper companies, for 

 the convenience of their Shipping.
