Mr. Kendal’s account of the Dighton rock. 191 
all men for antiquity ; for it is regarded as the work of a buccaneer, to 
mark the deposit of his ill- -gained treasure. One. experiment seems 
yet left to the searchers for gold ; and it is a little singular, that it has 
not before this time been tried. The rock may be split, or eo 
to remove it, and dig beneath. ; 
But what ignorant adventure has left undone, the regular march of * 
industry may do. Next year, a wharf or a ship yard may be pro- 
jected on the site of the writing-rock ; and its consecrated stone, 
grown into value or into a nuisance, may be buried, as an abutment, 
or broken up, to build a wall, or clear the ground. 
7 With sincere esteem, : 
Iam, dear sir, 
your faithful, humble servant, 
E, A. KENDAL.
