have been col- C 2 leding ledting with fome pains for thefe three years paft ^and it will be a great fatisfadlion to me if, by themeans of this colledion, fome of my countrymen,learned in natural hiftory, may be enabled to makefome ufeful difcoveries relative to volcanos ^. I have alfo accompanied that collection with acurrent of lava from Mount Vefuvius; it is paintedwith tranfparent colours, and, when lighted up withfemps behind it, gives a much better idea of Vefu-vius, than is poffible to be given by any other fort otpainting. I have the honor to be*My Lord,, Your Lordfliips mofl obedient,and moft humble fervant^ William Hamilton* * ** I am well convinced, by this colIeSion, that many vari-*• egated marbles, and many precious ftones, are the produce*• of volcanos ; and that there have been volcanos in many parts*^ of the world, where at prefent there are no traces of them•* vifible. This is taken from a prior letter of Mr. Hamilton,to thePrcfident, dated April 7, lydy. PLATE
