The Dumfnes Sandstone suitable for Vases, Fountains , and other Garden 

 Ornaments. — Sir, If the Dumfnes stone is suitable for tombs, as from 

 your account (p. 529.) it appears to be, why should we not have vases, 

 fountains, and other garden ornaments of it, sent up to London by White- 

 haven, at the same charge as the monuments ? I enclose you a sketch 

 ( fig. 129.) of a fountain of artificial stone, 8 ft. high, for which I paid.
