tho origin Of glass, which Pliny has han
ded dowe to us. is extremely plausible A
n,eschant vessel, laden with mineral aIkali.
having been driven ashore on the eoesr of
Palestine near the river Beius, the crew
went in search Of provisions, and acci-
deHtaily supported the kettles upon which
they dressed them upon pieces OF tho
mineral aikRIi. The river sand, on which,
this operaraiion was performed, was Si.fi-
fed by its union with the dlkali, and thus
produced glass. The important hinf
thus accidentally obtained, was saon a.
