Prefident of the Royal Society, concerning 
the ancient Bridewell at Norwich. 
SIR, 
-Read Nov. 7/w* SHALL beg the Liberty to give you 
JL fome Part of a Letter I received lately 
from Mr. William Arderon of Norwich , which men- 
tions a remarkable Piece of Art as well as Antiquity 
remaining in that City. 
The laft Century (fays he), and the prefent, may 
be allowed, I think to have produced more ufeful 
Difcoveries than any five fince the Creation : But the 
Lives and Abilities of us poor Mortals are fo fhort 
and limited, that, whilft we are finding new Arts, 
others (perhaps not lefs ufeful) flip away from us, 
and are loft: Nor would he deferve much lefs of 
Mankind, who can be fo happy to reftore the Know- 
ledge of a loft Invention, than he that finds out a 
new one. And it is of no little Service towards the 
Recovery
