in many Parts of the World, as in the Todolian 
Defert near the River Boryfthenes on the RuJJian 
Frontiers towards Crim Tart ary , in the Kingdom of 
Algiers , and in other Parts of the World. 
Bay-Salt is alfo drawn from the Brine of Ponds 
and Lakes, and our Author gives Us an Account of 
the preparing it in this manner in the Cape de Verd 
Iflands. This Account was collected chiefly from the 
Relations of feveral Perfons of Credit, who them- 
felves affifted in making Salt in thefe Iflands. He 
alfo takes notice of the Bay-Salt made at Tortugas, 
and other Places in America . He deferibes like- 
wife the Manner of making marine Bay-Salt in 
France , and other Parts of Europe. For the Parti- 
culars of thefe Operations I mull refer you to the 
Work itfelf 5 and only take notice, that every kind 
of Bay-Salt is prepared without artificial Heat, and 
by only expofing the Brine under a large Surface to 
the Addon of the Sun and Air, by which, in pro- 
portion to the Strength of the Brine, and to the 
different Temperature of Climate and Seafon, the 
Salt chryftallizes into what we call Bay-Salt, and 
comes under different Appearances to us from dif- 
ferent Places, which arife principally from the 
Cleanlinefs and Care of the Artift. 
Our Author, when treating of white Salt in ge- 
neral, acquaints us, that although Salt is made,' in 
warm Climates, with the greateft Eafc, and at the 
Jeaft Expencc, 'by the Heat 'of the Sun, after the 
Methods already deferibed; yet, in feveral Countries, 
.where Bay-Salt might be convehiently made, they 
prepare all their Salt by culinary Fires. Thus in 
Aufiria, Bavaria , and many other Parts of Ger- 
many , and alfo in Hungary , and even in fome 
Parts of Italy, they conftandy boil the Water of
