A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



Dr. Fuller,* in his Worthies of Merio- 

 nethfhire, publimed rather more than a 

 century ago, fpeaking of Dolgelle, has 

 given us the following lingular and enig- 

 matical account of the place : 



1. " The walls thereof 



are three miles high. 



2. Men go into it over 



the water; but, 



3. Go out of it under the 



water. 



The fteeple thereof 



doth grow therein. 

 There are more ale- 

 houfes than houfes. 



t. The mountains which 

 furround it. 



2. On a fair bridge. 



3. Falling from a rock, 



and conveyed in a 

 wooden trough, (un- 

 der which travellers 

 muft make fhift to 

 pafsj to turn an over- 

 fhot mill. 



4. The bells (if plural) 



hang in a yew tree. 

 5. Tenements are di- 

 vided into two or 

 more tlpllng houfes: 

 and chimney - lefs 

 barns are ufed for 

 that purpofe."
