The ^dural Hijloty 
as is made up of a reddifli kind of gravel : the beft fign of it 
here, as well as in Ireland^ has been fufficiently hinted in the 
former Chapter, to be that white and (pungy kind of matter^ that 
fticks to the ftones in the caverns of the Rocks^ and fo plentifully 
found at Cornwell and Whately ; at Hanhorough^ Fawler^ and in 
Ccrnbury Park. Not but tl|at very good Lime may be had from 
ftone that (licws not the leaft of this fign, as at Bladen Quarry, 
and many other places, but that none makes better then the ftone 
that has it ; except hereafter it may be found true here, what 
Lachmund ^ afferts of the Bifioprick. of Hildefieim^ where the befl: 
(he fays) is made of the hardeft ftone, quodvaria in fe Conchylia 
continet^ fet full of petrijiedi\\d\-{\{li i for if fo, our beft 
Jlone muft be at Charleton and Langley ^ at Little Milton^ and Shot^ 
over ForreH^ in the Quarry there on the north fide of the Hill, 
not far from the way to Sir Timothy Tyrrills ; at all which places, 
the ftone is ftuckfull of Cockles^ Efcallopy and Oy^fers^ of which

this there are feveral Chimny-fieces and Pavements^ in his Lord^ 
p/ip Houfe there, well worth the notice ; as alfo at the Right 
Honorable the Earl of Clarendon's at Cornbury, And of this 
are the Pillars of the Portico's 2.tSt. Johns College m Oxford, They 
make befide of it Tomb-§lones and Tables^ and of late alfo Mill- 
Jlones^ good enough for the OyUmilh ; but not for the Corn-mills^ 
becaufe of its fuppofed fweating, to which this is fubjed in rainy- 
weather, like all other Marbles. 
34. Some other ftones there are of inferior ufe, which yet muft 
by no means be paft by in filence ; whereof I know one fo like the 
Tripoli-ftone^ in colour, confiftence, and for all its ufes, that I 
cannot but think it of the very fame kind : to filver it gave thai 
very lafting brightnefs, that another piece of Plate that was try-
