Σελίδα 40 - To reap any material advantage, these waters must be drank at the fountain : for as their virtues in some measure depend upon an elastic fluid or gas, which quickly escapes from the water, they must necessarily lose some of their properties by being transported to any distance. This circumstance, although of importance, is not much attended to, except by a few who have already experienced the advantage of it. The custom, therefore, of sending for the water to the...
Σελίδα 17 - ... impenetrable and durable than even the stone of the building. There appears to have been, exclusive of the dungeon, three stories of very lofty rooms, one over another, each room between twenty and thirty feet high, and ten yards square within the walls, with recesses. The remains of a very large fire-place are visible in the lower apartment. The subterraneous room, or dungeon, is nearly filled up with stones and earth. The different stories have been vaulted and divided by strong arches ; and...
