 tities of corn, pork, and linen. Some pearls are 

 found in Lough Corrib near Galway. 



Gamershall, {Tori, IV. R.) a village, where

 of Scotland, is an elegant, large, and ftill increaf- 

 ing, city, pleafantly fituated on the north bank of 

 the River Clyde, which is navigable by velfels 

 drawing about 8 feet to the Broomylaw, a quay 

 extending downward from the lower bridge. Be- 

 fore America became independent of Great Britain, 

 the foreign commerce of Glafgow was chiefly with 

 that country ; and confequently it was deranged 

 by that event. But the enterprifing fpirit of the 

 merchants has found new channels of commerce, 

 fufiicicnt to employ their capitals and induftry. 

 They have alfo turned their attention more than 

 formerly to manufaflurcs, whereby the city has 

 become the center and foltering parent of a pro- 

 digious number of manufafturing eftabliihments. 

 There are thirty print-fields within the influence of 

 this hive of induftry'. The towns and villages in a 

 circuit of many miles around, and fome at confider- 

 able diftances, are filled with fpinners, weavers, and 

 the many other claffes of work-people depending 

 upon the f-ibries of the- loom and ftocking frame :

 ' fun, at the bottom nf which there runs a pretty ftream. 1 he fpace between the houfes and the brook is a continued garden, 



* with cloth tenters interlperfed. 'I iiere is in the village a very elegant building, containing a chapel and fchool-houfe, 



• with lodging for the fcholars. llierearc alio two v^ry lingular inditutions, almoA refcmbling a nionaileiy and nunnery, 

 ' called the *iourtg mtns ic^nomy^ and the young -women j ci,onoti: , No Grangers of the other lc,\ are admitted into cither houfe ; 

 ' but the inhabitants may come out to converl'e with their friends. They .ollow any bufinds they chufe, and may change 

 ' their way of life when they pleai'e. 7ie women are ::bout fixty in number, mulily employed hi embroidery and tam- 

 ' bouring, and they all fleep in one lan •- . com. The men, who are about fifty, alfo fleep all in one room. There is alfo 

 ' a houfe, wherein all the widows live together,* 



f The mills are driven by water conveyed from Loch Whinnyan in a channel cut partly tHfough a hill.
