cates were fo placed upon them as to move freely, and in 
their revolutions to produce various combinations of fub- 
jefts and predicates, whence would arife definitions, axioms, 
and propofitions, varying infinitely. This contrivance, 
worthy of Laputa, was greatly admired in its time ; and its 
author acquired the title o i the mojl enlightened doBor. 
Asa chemift Lully appears in a very different light; for, 
although the chief objedh of his purfuit was the philofo- 
pher’s (tone and fancied univerfal remedy,yet he was aware 
that it could only be acquired by a feries of experiments. 
Boerhanve fays of the chemical works extant in Lully’s 
name, that he has perufed mod of them, and finds them, 
beyond all expectation, 'excellent, fo that he has been 
tempted to doubt whether they could be the work of that 
age. “ So full (fays he) are they of the experiments and 
obfervations which occur in later writers, that either they 
niuft be fuppofititious, or the ancient chemifts mult have 
been acquainted with many things which pafs for modern 
difeoveries.” Lully is fuppofed to have derived his che¬ 
mical knowledge from his travels in the Eaft, and parti¬ 
cularly from the writings of Geber ; but great doubt pre¬ 
vails concerning the genuinenefs of the works palling un¬ 
der his name, and fome have queftioned whether he ever 
applied to thefcience. A complete edition of all the writ¬ 
ings attributed to him, in theology, morals, medicine, phy- 
fics, chemiltry, &c. was printed fame years ago at Mentz.

About two miles from Weft Lulworth is the Caltle, the 
feat of Mr. Weld ; jultly admired, not only for its fitu- 
ation, but as being one of the moll magnificent in the 
county. It is certainly a molt fuperb pile of building ; 
and, view it from which fide you will, it fir ikes the eye 
with pleafure. It is fituated in the fouth-eall corner of 
an extenlive park, which occupies a circuit of nearly four 
miles and a half; and has been lately furrotinded by an 
excellent Hone wall, upwards of eight feet high. The 
prefent edifice, which was built on or near the fcite of a 
caltle mentioned fo far back as the year 1146, was com¬ 
menced in 1588, and finilhed in 1610, except the internal 
decorations, which were not completed till after the year 
1641, when the anceftor of the late owner putchafed the 
©Hate. The caftle is an exact cube of eighty feet, with a 
round tower at each corner thirty feet in diameter, .and 
rifing fixteen feet above the walls, which, as well as the 
towers, are embattled. The hall and dining-room are fpa- 
eious, and the rooms in general eighteen feet high. The 
principal front is on the eaft, and is faced with Chilmark 
tlone, decorated with ftatuary. The interior is furnifhed 
with good tafte, and furnilhed with many excellent pic¬ 
tures : it may be feen by ((rangers on a Wednefday, be¬ 
tween the hours of ten and two. In the year 1789, dur¬ 
ing their majefties’ refidence at Weymouth, Mr. Weld 
had feveral royal vifits, the particulars of which are re¬ 
corded in two inferiptions over the entrance to the caftle. 
Mr. Weld has lately erefted an elegant little chapel for 
the convenience of his family ; this ItruCture is of a circu¬ 
lar form, increafed by four feftions of a circle, fo as to 
form a crofs, and finilhed with a dome and lantern. The 
parifli-church of St. Andrew, which was an ancient and 
curious fabric, has been recently rebuilt at the expenle of 
Mr. Weld. 
Lulworth Cove, which is juft by, is a remarkable na¬ 
tural curiofuy. Here you will fee a fnug harbour, of a 
circular form, and appearing as if fcooped out of the rock 
wl’.ere veflels of fixty or eighty tons burthen may ride in 
fiifety. It is furrounded by lofty hills; and the entrance 
to it is narrow, with rocky cliffs on each fide. About a 
mile from the cove is the Arched Rock, which projects 
from the land into the fea, having an opening near twenty 
feet high in the middle, formed like an arch, through 
which the profpeit of the fea has a peculiar effect. Lat.
