Mr. URBAN, North of Ireland, April 14. ***HE following LETTER and REMARKS have appeared in the newlpapers of Belfaft and Dublin, where they have excited fo much attention, that you will probably think them not unworthy the notice of your Philofophical Readers in Britain, efpecially as the Remarks are given from a more improved copy, than had there been published. T *** ** To the Printer of the Belfast News Letter. Sir, That the Giants Causeway, fituate near the Northern extremity of the county of Antrim, is one of the greateft natural curiofities, not only in Ireland, but on the furface of this globe, has long been acknowledged. It will therefore, I doubt not, gratify your readers to communicate to them, fome curious remarks on the different opinions of Naturalifts concerning the formation of the Giants Cawfeway, with which the writer of this letter has been favoured, by a gentleman of diftinguifhed Jearning and abilities, who has long made this wonderful production of nature the object of his diligent inveftigation, and has difcovered properties in it which had efcaped former obferwers, not excepting the late ingenious Dr. William Hamilton, whofe Letters concerning the Northern Coat of the County of Antrim," 1790, have fo much merit, as mult greatly aggravate our concern for his untimely fate *. It will alfo, no doubt, afford great pleasure, both to Philofophers and Men of Tafte, to learn, that a very exact delineation of this great natural curiolity, painted in a capital ftyle, has been finifhed by Mr. Thomas Robinfon, now in Belfaft, whofe fine picture of the Battle of Ballynahinch, at prefent in poffethon of the Marquis of Hertford, was fo much admired. In this picture of the Giants Caufeway, Mr. Robinfon has not only done justice to its picturefque and fupendous forms, but has paid particular attention to fome firiking peculiarities in its ftructure, deferving the uatice of men of science. To the following remarks I fhall prefix extracts from the account or defcription given by Dr. Hamilton in his Letters, Part II. p. 26: The Giants Causeway is generally defcribed as a Mole or Quay, projecting from the bafe of a fleep promontory fome hundred feet into the fea, and is formed of perpendicular pillars of bafaltes, which ftand in contact with each other, exhibiting a fort of polygon pavement, fomewhat refembling the appearance of a folid honeycomb. The pillars are irregular prifms, of various denominations, from three to eight fidest; but the hexagonal columos are as numerous as all the others put together." On a minute infpection, every pillar is found to be feparable into feveral joints, whofe articulation is neat and compact, beyond expreflion; the convex termination of one joint, always meeting a concave focket in the next; befides which, the angles of one fre quently fhoot over thofe of the other, fo that they are completely locked together, and can never be feparated without a fracture of thefe parts. "The fides of each column are un equal among themselves, but the contiguous fides of adjoining columns are always of equal dimentions, to as to touch in all their parts. 66 But it is not here that our adıniration fhould ceafe-Whatever the procefs was by which Nature produced that beautiful and curious arrangement of pillars, fo confpicuous about the Giants Caufeway-the caufe, far from being limited to that fpot alone, appears to have extended itself through a large * He was murdered by a mob of affifius in 1797, with circumstances of uncommon cruelty. See'vol. LXVII, p. 180. Since Dr. Hamilton wrote, a few columns have been found of even NINE fides. tract |
