Some account of St Helena

Some are Evidently burnt almost to a cinder  especialy those which are found near the bottoms of Valleys as may be seen in going up Side Path & probably Ladder Hill also  others Shew small bubbles as is seen in glass which has been urgd almost to fusion  again others which perhaps from their situation on the tops of Ridges have been exposd to a far less degree of heat or from their own apyrous qualities shew scarce any signs of having been in fire  yet in many of these if carefully examind are found small peices of extraneous bodies such as Mundics &c which have submitted to the fire  tho it was not able to make any alteration in the appearance of the stone which containd them

Thus much for these Suggestions  fit only for those who can beleive a Babilonian Chronology  I Pass now to the Present state of the Island  a subject which would afford much entertainment to a contemplative mind
