j6 A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



OJfa anguinjum of Pliny encircling his 

 left wrift and a battle-axe by his fide. 

 About fifteen years after this firft difco^- 

 very, other miners found feveral human 

 bones there, and a golden bracelet clafp- 

 ing about a wrift. 



This hill, befides copper, affords zinc, 

 lead, calamine, and fo much lime, as to 

 fupply from hence the whole country of 

 Montgomery and great part of Shrop* 

 fhire. About a hundred and fifty men 

 fcre generally employed here in burning 

 the lime during fummer, and fifty in 

 raifing and breaking the ftone in the 

 winter. In the fummer of 1795, up- 

 wards of eight thoufand tons were ex- 

 ported from hence to different parts*. 



From the fummit, I had an extenfive 

 view over the plains towards Shrewf- 



as immedintely to fly at any perfon who is fo unlucky as to 

 interrupt them.
