[55] Within two miles of this place there is a steel Spaw of good

repute for the performance of several extraordinary cures, which gives

the same tincture with galls, and appears in every respect to be the

same with the water, that flows from this level.

[56] The proportions were adjusted according to the carat weights, as

it is by these, that the fineness of gold is usually expressed: A carat

is the twenty-fourth part of the whole compound: thus gold of so many

carats is a composition, of which so many twenty-fourths are fine gold,

and the rest an inferior metal.

[62] Pliny (L. ix. ep. 39.) acquainting his architect with his purpose

to repair a temple of Ceres, which was upon his estate, says, _Nullum

in proximo suffugium aut imbris, aut solis. Videor ergo munifice simul

religioseque facturum, si ædi, quam pulcherrimam exstruxero, addidero

porticus: illam ad usum deæ, has ad hominum._ That these portico’s

commonly inclosed the whole site of the ancient temples, as in this at

Pozzuoli, seems implied in what follows: _Quantum ad porticus, nihil

interim occurrit, quod videatur esse istinc repetendum: nisi tamen, ut

formam secundum rationem loci scribas; neque enim possunt circumdari

templo: nam solum templi hinc flumine--hinc viâ cingitur._

[63] Mess. Cochin and Bellicard seem to think this room was intended

for another purpose, by their calling the funnels under the holes

in the seats of it, _conduits des fosses d’aisance_. Which of the

two hypothesis’s is to be preferred, I submit to the judgment of the

learned; or rather, whether both of them may not be admitted, as in

no-wise incompatible the one with the other.

[65] The learned Abbate de Venuti, F.R.S. and Antiquary to the Pope at

Rome, has lately by letter favoured me with an ingenious account of

this phænomenon; tho’ he mentions the granite columns only as affected

by it. _Cùm columnæ, quæ circumibant templum, excavarentur e terrâ,

quâ erant partim abrutæ----minutissimæ conchæ, quæ ex testaceorum

genere sunt, atque in saxorum rimulis prope mare reperiuntur, ideoque a

[83] That the plural termination of PADESHAH, or SHAH, which, according

to Khojah Asdhalo’ddîn, denoted originally the same thing, was AN, or

perhaps ANE, in the days of Ammianus Marcellinus, there is good reason

to believe; the word SAANSAA, KING OF KINGS, having been then used

by the Persians, and handed down to us by that author. The term ΣΑΑ,

SAA, equivalent to the Persic SHAH, KING, likewise occurs in Agathias,

a writer of the sixth century. Should my explication of the Parthian

legend of the coin before me meet with the approbation of the learned,

it will perhaps be granted me, that the plural of PADESHAH, or PADESHA,

amongst the Parthians was PADESHAN, if not PADESHANE, in the second

century after CHRIST. Hyd. _Hist. Rel. Vet. Pers._ p. 416. Khojah

[200] After this paper was read at the Society, Dr. Pringle having

acquainted Dr. Whytt, that Mr. Patrick Brydone had omitted, in his

account, the name of the parish, where the woman lived, the time when

she was cured, and also that he had not fully dated his paper; Dr.

Whytt some time after wrote to Dr. Pringle, that having desired Mr.

Brydone to furnish him with these particulars, he had received for

answer, “That the woman, on whom the cure was performed, had lived all

her life in the parish of Coldinghame, and for the last twelve years in

that town: That her father had died of the palsy seven years ago, after

having been subject to that distemper for several years: That the cure

was performed in his father’s house at Coldinghame, on the 4th, 5th,

6th, and 11th of days of April 1757. a circumstance he had noted down:

That as to the date of his paper, presented to the Royal Society, he

only recollects it was written some day in the beginning of November

last; but as the woman still continued well, he hoped the precise day

of the month was no material omission.” This letter to Dr. Whytt is

dated, Coldinghame, January 9th, 1758.
