far its extenfive iron forges, called the Carron' zoorIts. They 
are conveniently (ituated on the banks of the river, three 
miles above its entry into the Frith of Forth, and. two 
miles north of Falkirk. Above too acres of land have 
been converted into refervoirs and pools, for water divert¬ 
ed from tire river by magnificent dams built about two 
miles above the works, which, after turning eighteen large 
wheels for the feveral purpofes of the manufactory, falls 
into a tide-navigation that conveys their callings to the tea. 
Thefe works are the greated of the kind in Europe, and 
were eftubti(lied in 1760. The buildings are of vaft ex¬ 
tent ; and the machinery, conftru&ed by Mr. Smeaton, is 
the firft in Britain, both in elegance and covreCtnefs. There

country: 6500 tons of iron are (melted annually from 
the mineral with pit-coal, and cad into cannon, cylinders, 
&c. In the founding of cannon, thefe works have lately 
arrived at fuch perfection, that they make above 5000 
pieces a-year, many of which are exported to foreign 
dates; and their guns of new condrudlion are the lighted 
and neated now in ufe, not excepting brafs guns ; the 
thirty-two-pounder (hip-gun weighing forty-two hundred
