boiler. At each end of the ftage a reller 
with a winch or handle is placed fo high 
above the troughs, as to admit of the 
troughs holding the whole of the goods ; 
and between thefe rollers with handles, 
other intermediate rollers extend over the 
width of the ftage, at about three feet dif- 
tance from each other. The rollers, are 
.about 20 inches in diameter, and the {pe- 
cification contains proper direCtions for 
working them, and carrying on the whole 
operation by means of three men, viz. one 
at each winch, and the other keeps the 
eloth abroad while coming out of the 
boiler.

HIS work, the obvious refult of 
deep and patient refearch, prefents 
’ the reader witha moft entertaining mafs of 
information refpecting the Bardi¢ Anti- 
quities of Wales. To. follow Mr. Jones 
through the long and laborious tra he 
has taken, in. his ufeful and {fatisfac- 
tory publication, would far exceed the 
limits of this department of our Mitcel- 
lany ; we fhall therefore content ourfelves 
with pointing out a few of the moft cu. 
flous topics on which he has touched. 
_ Among thefe are, «* The Three profound 
_ Aftrologers of the Ifland of Britain’’-— 
*¢ The Hiftory of King Arthur, and his 
Charter to Cambridge”’—*' Ancient Al- 
" mauacks”—** The Etymology of the 
~ Word Bard”—< The Bardic Drefs’’— 
_** Three principal Orders of Bards’— 
** The Seven Rural and the Seven Liberal 
Arts”’"—** The Origin of Chancellor’’— 
» € The Foundation of the Common Law 
:

*¢ Heralds, new-named with a Bow! of 
Wine poured on their Heads’—* The 
Ceremony in ancient Days of making and 
degrading Knights’ The Origin of 
the. Log- book’ —* Mufical. Infiruments

principal Men of the Palace’*—-** A re- 
markable. Bowl of Punch??—‘* Fanatic 
Impottors, Jumpers, or Field-preachers”.

—‘* The Britifh Saints, the Succeflors of 
the Druids’—‘* Tallifin’s Communica- 
tions’’—** And the Tournament at Caer- 
lleon.”? Thefes-indeed,, form: but a very 
fcanty portion of the great variety of 
{cayce and intelligent matter. contained ain 
the work, which Mr. Jones has,enriched 
and i'luftrated with a confiderable number 
of original Bardic or Welth poems,. ac~ 
companied with Englifh tranflations.. And 
of a hundred and twelve pages, fifty-two 
are occupied with ancient Cambrian airs, 
many of which, amidft ali their native 
fimplicity, exhibit a beauty and {weetnefs 
perfectly national and truly friking. “The 
bafles are added with judgment, ‘and the 
variations exhibit muchtafle. Mr. Jones 
has evidently prepared himfelf for this in- 
genious and valuable undertaking, by an 
extenfive and laborious courfe of reading: 
burt this is his leaf praife: the topics are 
judicioufly feleéted; the language is neat 
and clear, and the whole is prelented to 
the reader in that luminous arrangement, 
which could only be attained by an author 
at once mafter of his fubjeét and of the 
rules of good wiiting.
