All thefc varieties to wliich the feveral mineral falts are 

 liable in the different llages, and in «-liich they may be ab- 

 forbed together, and united by water under the earth, do 

 not only render the jiidcring of tlie mineral waters, which 

 partake of them by analyfes very uncertain, but even, in 

 many cafes, perplex and confound us, by tile very means by 

 wliich we hope to imderftand them. 



Juft h;:, Mirtcrdl. Many countries afford thefe, and give 

 marks by them of treafures tliat might be turned to great 

 account, were tl>e proper manner of affaying them known, 

 which is by firft properly reducing them to a dry fubllance, 

 fo as to come at the folid matter they contain. With a view 

 to thedifcovery of metallic veins, the erection of falt-works, 

 vitriol-works, alum-works, borax-works, and the like, the 

 curious on this fubjeft may find many excellent hints for 

 farther difcoveries ni the clofe of Agricola's work, " De Re 

 Mietallica ;" and the view is farther caiTicd on by Boyle, 

 Eecher, Stahl, and Homberg. The Royal Academy' of 

 Pari* have alfo given fome hints that may be of ufe, in their 

 Memoirs ; and fome practical things are recorded in the 

 Pliilnfophical Tranfactions. We liave accounts in the Piii- 

 lofophical Tranfadions of white and tiiick fluids like cream, 

 found in mines at very great depths, and containing mineral 

 particles. Tlie bottoms of our coal-pits fometimes afford 

 this Lquor in very large quantities. And fome of the iron 

 mines in Shropftiire, particularly that called the White mine 

 near Hales in tliat county, affords a great quantity of this 

 fort of juice. It is thick as cream, white, and of a fweetiih 

 tafte, but with a vitriolic twang behind it. This is con- 

 tained in the nodules of iron-llone, which are here a fort of 

 enhydri, very large, compofed of thick crufts, and fome of 

 them holding near a hoglliead of this fort of liquor. Phil.

 Ikeneld-ftreet, 35' miles diftant from London, and confills of 

 two ftreets, containing, at the time of the late population 

 report of iSoo, 78 houfes, and 452 inhabitants. In the 

 church, which is a haiidlome ftrudure, is an altar-tomb, faid 

 to be that of a brother of king Stephen. A market was 

 granted to this town in the year 13 iS : it is now held on 

 Saturday ; but it is fo finall, that it may almoft be faid to 

 bo difcontiuucd. Here are two annnal fairs. The parilh 

 of Ivinghoeis very extenfive, being fourteen miles in length, 

 and containing feveral hamlets. In one of thefe, St. Mar- 

 garet's, wliicli is about live miles diftant from the town, are 

 the remains of the monailery of Murefley. founded by Henry 

 de Blois, bifliop of Winchefter, in the reign of Henry I. 

 for nuns of the Benedidline order. At the diffolution 

 the fcite was granted to iir .lohn Dance : it has been lately 

 fold by Mr. Catherall, in whofe family it has been during 

 feveral generations, to Mr. Mercer. The building was, in 

 1S02, almoll entire : the parlour and hall, which are of To- 

 ternhoe ilone, appear to be of the age of Henry VII.
