Draught of the Giants Causway that was first taken, and
printed about Four Years since in the fore-mentioned
no extraordinary Artist, tho' the best that could be then
had; I proposed the last Summer to some Philosophical
Gentlemen here in
our common Charge, one Sandys
in Designing and Drawing of Prospects, to go into the
North of
and accurate Figure of the whole Rock, with the natu
ral Posture of the Hills and Country about it for some
distance, accordingly we sent him away with such In
after with a fair and beautiful Draught very expressive
of each Particular we desired; an exact
my Brother lately sent over to the
of their Worthy Members, and my highly esteemed
Friend, the Honourable
last from hence, this I believe you'll find hanging up in
their
sire you to have recourse, for the whole Map was too
large and bulky to be inclos'd in this Letter*: However,
I have sever'd from it Schemes,

have here sent it you; from whence with the Help of
the Description already published, you will easily frame
to your self a just Idea of the most singular and remarka
ble Properties of this Stone of the Giants Causway.
