Iflled with light Tandy earth, and plunged Into a gentle 
hot-bed, obferving to water them frequently, until the 
“plants appear, which is fometimes in five or fix weeks 
time ; but at other times they will remain in the ground 
until the fecond year; therefore, if the plants flrould not 
come up in two months, remove the pots into a fliady 
fituation, where they may remain till October, being care¬ 
ful to keep them clean from weeds, and now and then in 
dry weather giving them a little water ; then remove the 
pots into Ihelter during the winter; and in March put 
them upon a freflr hot-bed, to forward the fe^ds for ve¬ 
getation. When the plants are come up, expofe them to 
the open air by degrees, to inure them to the climate 5 
yet they thould not be expoled to the open fun at firlt, 
but. have the morning fun only ; placing them for fome 
time where they m3y be flieltered from cold winds. They 
fhould be kept in pots four or five years ; being flow of 
growth, and not having ftrength enough to refill the cold 
when young. See Hippomane and Quercus.

IL/FRACOMB, or Ilfcrdcomb, a feaport of Eng¬ 
land, fituated in the Britith Channel, on the north coaft 
of the county of Devon, with a convenient and fafe har¬ 
bour, whither velfels frequently ftrive to enter for flielter, 
when not able to make the Taw for Barnitable. Lights 
are kept here burning for the direction of mariners. 
There is a good quay and pier, repaired by aft of parlia¬ 
ment. The veflels belonging to the port are chiefly em¬ 
ployed as coafters, in carrying ore and corn, &c. from 
Cornwall and Devonfliire, to Briftol; and in tithing. It 
is governed by a mayor, bailiffs. Sec. though it never lent 
members to parliament. It confifts chiefly of one ftreet 
of fcattered houfes, almoft a mile long. Its market is on 
Saturday. The parifli is large, containing feveral tithings 
and manors. It is a pleafant and convenient place for 
bathing, and much reforted to by the gentry for that pur- 
pofe. On the 22d of February, 1797, three French fri¬ 
gates appeared off this place, fcuttled feveral merchant¬ 
men, and attempted to deftrqy the flopping in the har¬ 
bour. They alfo landed 14.00 men, and footi after fet 
fail; the whole of the troops were taken pril’oners. II-

A little to the eaftward of Ilfordcomb lies Comb Mar¬ 
tin, or Martin’s Comb, fo named from its ancient owners, 
the Martins ; which at prefent has only a cove for boats, 
but is very capable of being improved. It is chiefly re¬ 
markable for a lead-mine, difeovered in the reign of Ed¬ 
ward I. and out of the contents of which conliderable 
quantities of fllver were extracted ; but by degrees, or 
through ill management, it was in no very long time ex- 
haulted. However, in the reign of Edward III. it was 
again wrought, and that to larger profit than before. In 
fome Ihort Ipace after this, through the civil wars be¬ 
tween the houfes of York and Lancalter, thefe works vvere 
difeontinued, but revived with ftronger hopes in the reign 
of queen Elizabeth, by fir Bevis Buhner, a Ikilful engi¬ 
neer, in great credit with that princefs. Mr. Bulhel, who 
valued himfeif on being fervant and pupil to the famous 
lord Bacon, made fome propofals for recovering it a fourth 
time, a little before the reftoration ; and towards the dole 
of the feventeenth century it was actually opened, with 
great expectations, but with little effect.
