stem. The form of the kiln, or of the arch, in which the 

 lime-stone is arranged, differs little from ours, except in 

 the top of the kiln being very little above the surface of 

 the ground ; being covered with clay to confine the heat ; 

 and the arch within being of such a height from the bot- 

 tom, as gives to the stone all the possible effect of the flame 

 which these light and dry materials produce. The nature 

 and properties of their lime-stone are precisely similar to 

 ours, and I think their practice might be applied by our 

 countrymen to great advantage, particularly on those farms 

 in the lime-stone counties, where wood is scarce, , and 

 brush, and weeds, are in plenty ; the former would be 

 saved, the latter destroyed.

With every respectful consideration, 

 Your obedient Servant and Friend,
