I copy the following short account of the saltlros Ls ut Droitwich, in Worcestershire, front in aufliiir of undoubted credit. " Records of these a:tit-works," says Dr. Nub, " ere treerd 'front the yrs,. .815 ; they are nientioned in Dorn boo* ; and Kingluliti granted to the burgesses i rtr; town nhatever he had in the village of Wich, with the suit-pits and all their •ppurteuauces, foe the sum uF 1001. sterling yearly lia 1715, the proprietors having nnderstobd frrim some persons concerned in the Cheshire stilt works. that the strongest brine there'hiy lower than the'pits at Droitaich were commonly dug. ordered the talc at the bottom of their pas to he audit through : upon which. the strong brine burit with such violence as to kill the two liihourets then at work. Since this, ouch a profusion of brine has been obtained. that not a tenth part of it has ever been used, bat has run to mote. " 111 sinking these brine-pits, it is generally 'found to be about 35 feet to the talc; through the stratum of talc 130 feet; nutlet the talc a river of brine 2.11 inches deep; and coder this river a hard *rock of salt..' Thetalc is so hard. that the workmen never sink the pit through it ; 'but bore a hole four inches in diameter, through which the ,brine rises awl fills the pit (I)." Hosier the grant of King John and eerie al sub sequent grants from the Crown, the proprietors of ' the old works monopolised the trade in salt, mud prevented all persons in the neighbourhood from. sinking any new pits. However. uhput the year 1690, Rotten Strystor, Esq. a gentleman possessed of snare than 1,000/. a year in landed eatitte, souk a pit trimii his own ground, and determined to try the right wills the Corporation. This gentleman resolutely defended himself at an expense of more than six thousand pouuds, and after vicious trials eetablished his tight ; in consequence of which the Monopoly was destroyed; the trade was greatly ex tended ; and the price of salt was reduced from two shillings a bushel to four-pence, I shall hardly be believed when inform my tenders that this gentleman was so reduced by the e%poqiees of this lingo • , and so entangled in late by his patriotic struggles for the public good, that he hot only lust his whole estate, but the neigh bourhood which iw had so much benefitted allowed Nine to end his days upon a parish allowance. A daughter of this gentleman was living twenty or thaty yews ago at Droitwich on the same kind of simmer'. lie.ides tlmr. springs at Droitwich, which would spoor be sufficient to supply the whole consumption of Great Britain, the salt-works at Nattiptwich, iddlew ich, Northwich, and Winsford, in the county sir* Chester, are too well known to need any descrip tion. At Northwich there are °Ours of ruck-salt of such an immense extent, that it is probable the constant working of them for some thousaud years to come would not exhaust them. As the Salt Duty is likely to be repelled, it has svcatrreil to stir, that its this case it might be very advantageous to allay individuals to find that there *ere salt %prin. , s in other parts of these kingdoms besides those already mentioned ; and I do think that it wo.,:d be a very acceptable present to the puldie, if some person of leisure woold attempt to give a complete list of the places where such springs ere to, he found; that every person might take Isis salt ir7TTI that spot which should be most conti guous to him. The only places of which 1 have myself met with an Lecount are as fellow. There is a salt spring at East Cheunock, in So mereetshire (1.), shout 20 miles from the sea, and another at Leamington, in Warwickshire (3). Such a splint; likewise tubs into the river Cherwell, lit etxfordshire(4); and there are several snore in West morland and Yorkshire. which ought to be remem bered. At Borrovidale, near Grange, three miles from Keswick, iii Cumberland, a pretty strong spring rises in a level, near a moss, sixteen gallons or the waters of which yield one gallon of pure salt (5). At a place called Salt-water-hough, near Butterby, in the Bishopric of Durham, there are a multitude of salt springs, which rise in the midst of the river Wears% for the space of about forty yards in length, and ten its breadth ; but particu larly one out of a rock, whir h is so strong, that its a hot summer's day the surface will be covered with a pure white salt (6). At Weston in Staffordshire, there are brine pits which afford ;bout a Muth part . in measure of pure salt. There are others at Einem tit. Thomas, and in the parish of Ingestre; and it is believed that, by boring lower, stronger springs might he found in the neighbourhood (7). In Lancashire there are several salt springs (8), espe cially that of Berme, which is as rich as the spring at Nurthwich. Not only Great Britain. but many other nations of the world enjoy this valuable production of nature in abinidinice. Some years ago an American friend %rote me word that there hail lately beeddis covered a mountain of rock-salt in Louiriaua, one hundred slid eighty miles long, forty-five miles it isle, and of a very comaiderable height, the surface of which is barely covered with earth, and not a tree or a shrub growing upon it. The salt-mints near Cracow, in Poland, are of immense extent, and are visited by travellers as one of the greatest curiosities in the world. Eight hundred workmen are constantly employed in this mine; and Nature, ever provident, has contrived that u stream of fresh scaler, pure and transparent, (1) See Dr. Nilsles Collections for the History of 'Varese tershirs. 2 vols. folio.
