bearing an extraordinary Infcription thereon, at a 
Village call’d Morten,, on the right Side of the River 
To, about 1 6 Miles from Turin ; and the fame 
Gentleman having lately fent us likcwife an Italian 
Differtation printed at Turin. , wherein the learned

in Europe , as. well for its Stru&ure, as for the Va- 
riety and Elegance of the feveral Relievos where-- 
with it is adorned. Each of its three Pillars has on 
it four fmall Figures : The flrft, which “is placed at
