 frtjm t!ie fqiiare deal box o o, fixed to the large hopper. 

 Through the iide of this box, the handle h of the ilider iiuift 

 extend. This hopper is principally ufed for the convenience 

 of taking out a fniall quantity of grain, but is removed when 

 a large quantity is to be taken from the granary ; ;re is a 

 finall loft into which the facks of grain are hoilled, and emp- 

 tied over the iides or rails ;j, ti, from which it falls down, and 

 pafles through the hopper e, e, tilly' is filled (the (lider g 

 being clofed); and as the corn continues to be emptied from 

 the loft, the granary is gradually filled until it is up to the 

 top if neceflary. The fpouts being all inverted, as noticed 

 above, and open below, it is obvious that, although the gra- 

 nary be filled to the top, the corn will not, like a fluid, rife 

 within the fpouts above the level of their lower edges ; and 

 thus there will be a vacuum lelt v.'ithin every fpout, through 

 which the air will freely jiafs. Thcfe fpouts are placed three 

 feet diilant from eacli other, horizontally from angle to an- 

 gle, and eighteen inches vertically ; that is, from thofe in 

 one tire, to thofe in another, which is the next, and crofTes 

 it. The holes in the bottoms of the hoppers e, e, e, fiiould 

 be fo proportioned, that one may not give vent to the grain 

 faller than another.; for which reafon, the aperture of the 

 middle one a. Jig. 5, fliould be the fmalleft, becaufe there is 

 the leall obftruftion there. The apertures b, b, h, b, ought to 

 be fomewhat larsfer, as the (jrain will meet with forae little 

 obllrnclion there ; by the fides of the large hopper ; and the 

 apertures or openings c, c, c, c, (liould be the largert, as the 

 obllruttion in the angles will be greater than in any other 

 part of the work.

GR.\NATE, popularly called garnet, in Nalitra! Hif- 

 tory. See Garnet. 



Ghanate Pqfie. The counterfeit garnet in palle, is 

 formed with three different proportions of the ingredients, 

 •W'hich are thefe : 



Take prepared cryftal two ounces, common red-lead fix 

 ounces, manganefe fixteen grains, zafier three grains ; mix 

 all well together ; and put them into a crucible : cover 

 it with a lute, and fet it in a potter's kihi for twenty-four 

 hours. 



Or, take cryfial two oimces, minium five ounces and a 

 half, manganefe fifteen grains, zafTer four grains ; mix them 

 well together, and leave room for their fwelllng in the pot ; 

 bake them t\\*entv-fonr hours in a potter's kiln. 



The !ai\ method is this : take crvital prepared two ounces, 

 minium five ounces ; mix them, and add manganefe fifty-two 

 grains, zafFer fix grains ; mix them well together, snd let 

 all be baked, in a pot well luted, in a potter's kiln for 

 twenty-four hours. 



The firll of thefe makes a very handfome garnet of the 

 common tinge ; the fecond, a deep one, with fomething of a 

 violet tinge, as many of the natural garnets have ; but tiie 

 third makes much the fined and brightell. Ncri's Art of

GRANATINE, a name given by Kirwan tp fevcral tri- 

 ple Bompounds, profellcdly of the granitic kind ; but as it 

 includes alfo combinations that have no more than one ef- 

 fential ingredient of granite (fuch as the combination of 

 quartz, jade, and garnet), it is obvious, that many rocks, 

 thus united into one clafs, are far from having all the cha- 

 racters of granitic compounds.

Grand, .Ioachim Le, a French political and hiftorical 

 writer, was born in 1653 at Thorigny, in Normandy. In 

 early life he entered into the congregation of the Oratory, 

 which he quitted in 1676, and went to Paris, where he en- 

 gaged in the education of two young men of rank, and at 

 the fame time applied himfelf with all dihgcnce to the ftudy 

 of hiftory under the direftion of father Le Cointe. He 

 firll appeared as a writer in the year 1688, in " A Hiftory 

 of the Divorce of Henry VIII. and Cathaiinc of Arragon," 

 in three vols. i2mo. The main objeft of this work is to 

 refute certain fails and arguments contained in the two firll 

 books of Burnet's Hiftory of the Reformation. This pro- 

 duced a controverfy between Le Grand and the Enghfli 

 prelate, vv'hich has long fince ceafed to be intcrefling. In 

 1691 he addreffed three letters to the bifiiop, on his cri- 

 tique of Boffuet's Hiltory of the Variations of Proteftants. 

 Alter this Le Grand was taken from his literary purfuits 

 by the apponitment of fecretary to tlie abbe d'Ellrtes, in
