In the frf part ofvolume Sixth of the tranf
actions of the American Philosophical Society,
held at Philadelphia, & pubihed in the prefeft
year, is a very valuable paper from the worthy
Bifhop Madifon of Virginia on the fubiect of the
fertilization of the Interiour. Much has been
written upon this fubject, but nothing has vet
appeared which promifes to aiiiit happy enquiry
more directly than this communication. It's inee-
Nous author furveyed the works which have been
often mentioned and much celebrated. He had
every prepofieaion that they were indeed antient
Notifications. He foon became convinced upon
examination, that they never had the fmaleft re-
lation to military defence. After representing
their forms, he proceeds to offer his reafons for
his full conviction on the fubje6t. OF the works
fome are 1emi-eliptical, with their greater axis
on the banks of rivers. Others nearly circular,
ima and remote from water. Some large en-
ough to comprehend so acres, others not exceed
ing so yards in diameter. His reafous for his
conciuhons are, that many have the ditch with
IN the enclofure, and the parapet is not of fulfil
Gent elevation for defence. In fome it could
not have ever exceeded five feet. His fecond
reafonis, that at the entrance ofthefe enclofrres
is mound from 10 to 90 feet in height, placed
without, and effe6tually commanding the whole
enclofure. He obierves, fuch fortiicationas
would give the entire command to an enemy,
would be as little recommended by an Efqui-
meauX as by Bonaparte. He then refers to
PRECEDENT Jeferfon's Notes on Virginia, in which
theie mounds or barows, are expofed as repo-
ftories of the dead. from the preGdsat's aSGtiiai
examination. Upon the account, Bifhop Madi-
fon oblerves, F" that the penetrating genius ofthe
author ofthe Notes on Virginia, feldom touches
fubjett without throwing upon it new light !;
uponthis he has thrown all that canbe defircd."
His third reafon is, that thefe fuppofed fortifca-
tions often lay at the bottom of an hill, 70 that
the befieged might eaily be annoyed. Hisfourth
reaion is, that when remote from water, no ligns
appear by which water could be fupplied in any
manner. The fifth reafon is from their number
Upon the Kanhawa, in an extent Of 80 or 100
miles, there is fcsrcely fquare mile without
them. "Indeed' he obleryes, 8" they are asthck
and as irregulary difperied, as the habiations of
planters in rich and well fettled country"
Some are too frnallfor defence. Others give IN
outline which may embrace an 100 acres. He
then axis, what tribe of Indians could furniih
men fuiicient TO defend luch a brralt-Nork in
all its points The Biihop then modeftIy OBJ
ferves, "I believe the reafonsa1igned, when col.
lcclively taken, viii be deemed conclufve or,
as abundantly efablifhng a perfect conviction,
that theie weitern enclofures were not delicncd
for Notifications" He thinks they might been
clofures, but that this fube6t may be left for flu
ture enquiries. Salem RegiRer.
