 relating to thcEgyptian Women, I have likewife feen taken out of 

 the Catacombs ΐίΧ, Sakar a, 2.]oyv\t οι d. common Reed, which con- 

 tained one of the Bodkins, and an Ounce or more of the Powder

Carpets are another Branch of the Trade and Manufafturies c upets, 

 of this Country. They are made of much coarfer Materials, 

 and are not fo beautifully deiigned as thofe of Turkey ; but being
