SIR, * 
S OME Years ago, when I was in Town, You were 
plealed to defire me, when my Occasions might 
carry me into that Country, to give You a particular 
Account of the Truth of a Relation, which was fent up 
to the Athenian Society , of the entire Skeleton of a pro- 
digious Monfter, of Humane Form, above 22 Foot in 
length 5 which was difcover’d upon the Banks of the 
River Tyne, not far from Corbridge , in Northnmberl and. 
The Relation was very particular 3 and, if it had been 
true, feem’d to go farther towards a Proof of fuch flu- 
pendous Figures, in ancient Times , than any other 
Argument, that I have met with, upon that Sub- - 
jefr. 
Laft Summer, my Affairs obliged me to ftay three or 
four Days at Corbridge. During my being there, I made 
the beft Obfervations I could, to give both my Self and 
Others Satisfa&ion, in an Account of a Matter of Fad 3 - 
which had amufed the Nation, fo much, as that had 
done, , • t
