the two drawings; and then add fuch obfervations as 
have occurred to me, upon confidering more particular- 
ly the curious originals which they reprefent. 
N. I . Is a topographical view' of a part of the fouth- 
eaft fide of a hill, called monte rosso, about feven miles 
diftant, nearly fouth, from Padua, in the Venetian State 
in Italy, and a mile to the w^eft of abano, a village well 
known, from the celebrated hot baths of that name, and 
w'hich are lituated at half a mile’s diftance to the fouth of 
it. This view particularly reprefents a natural range of 
prifmatic columns, of different fliapes and fizes, which 
are placed in a direction nearly perpendicular to the ho- 
rizon, and parallel to each other, much refembling that 
part of the famous Giant’s Caufew^ay in Ireland, called 
THE ORGANS, as may be feen at Fig. 2. in the w'eft jirof- 
pect of that Caufeway, engraved by Vivares, after one of 
Mrs. S. Drury’s excellent defigns. N. 2. Is a limilar 
reprefentation of the weft lide of another bafaltine hill, 
called iL MONTE del diavolo, or the devil’s hill, near 
San Giovanni Illarione, alfo in the Venetian ftate, and 
Veronefe diftri6l, about ten miles nearly north-w'eft of 
Vicenza. The prifmatic columns appear to be ranged in 
an oblique pofttion, along the fide of the hill, not unlike 
the group reprefented under the rock, marked Fig. 9. in 
Mrs . D R u R y’s weft profpe( 5 l of the Gi ants C aufeway . This 
drawing, however, reprefents only a part of the Caufe- 
way of San Giovanni, which continues along the fide of 
a valley, nearly in the fame maimer, to a confiderable 
diftance.
