of stone, they should be thirty inches wide in front, and sloped off behind to about eighteen inches, by which means there will be no corners to take off the rays of the sun. If they are of brick, they will require to be at least three feet in front, but they should be in the same manner sloped off behind. Over the greenhouse may be rooms for drying and preserving seeds, roots, &c., and behind it a place for tools and other purposes; and both those behind, and the rooms above, will be of great use in keeping off the frosts, so that the wall between them need not be of more than two bricks and a half in thickness. The floor of the greenhouse, which should be laid either with Bremen squares, Purbeck stone, or flat tiles, must be raised two feet above the surface of the adjoining ground, or, if the situation be damp, at least three feet; and if the whole is arched with low brick arches under the floor, they will be of great service in preventing damps; and under the floor, about two feet from the front, it will be advisable to make a flue of ten inches wide and two feet deep; this should be carried the whole length of the house, and then returned back along the hinder part, and there be carried up into funnels adjoining to the tool-house, by which the smoke may be carried off. The fire-place may be contrived at one end of the house, and the door at which the fuel is put in, as also the ash-grate, may be contrived to open into the tool-house, and, the fuel being laid in the same place, the whole will be out of sight. Bradley advises, that the front of greenhouses, in the colder parts of England, be built in a sweep or semicircle, so that one part or other of it may receive the sun's rays all day. The use of fires must, however, be very sparing in this place; and not one winter in three or four will require them in any part; only when the weather is very severe, and the frost cannot well be kept out any other way, this expedient may save a whole house of plants. Withinside of the windows, in front of the greenhouse, there should be good strong shutters, made with hinges to fold back close to the piers, that they may not obstruct the rays of the sun. The back part of the house should be either laid over with stucco or plastered with mortar, and whitewashed, in order to prevent the frosty air from penetrating through the walls. When the greenhouse is wainscotted, the walls should be plastered with lime and hair behind the wainscot to keep out the cold; and the wainscot, as well as the ceiling, and every part within the house, should be painted white, to reflect the sun's rays. There must be a number of tressels with forms of wood upon them, to support the pots of plants; the tallest to be placed hindmost, the lowest within four feet of the windows; and the rows of plants should rise gradually, so that the heads of the second row should be entirely above the first; and behind them there should be a space of at least five feet for the convenience of watering the plants, and for a free circulation of the air. The wings may be made capable of a greater warmth also by more flues, and may be made to contain a hotbed of tanner's bark, for raising many of the tender plants, natives of warm climates. Whilst the front of the greenhouse is exactly south, one The of the wings may be made to face the south-east and the other the south-west. By this disposition the heat of the sun is reflected from one part of the building to the other all day, and the front of the main greenhouse is guarded from the cold winds. These two wings may be so contrived as to maintain plants of different degrees of hardiness, which may be easily effected by the situation and extent of the fire-place, and the manner of conducting the flues: the wing facing the south-east is evidently most proper for the warmest stove; this may be divided in the middle by a partition of glass, with glass doors opening from one division to the other. In each of these there should be a fire-place, with flues carried up against the back wall, through which the smoke should be made to pass as many times the length of the house as the height will admit of the number of flues; for the longer the smoke is in passing, the more heat will be given to the house with a less quantity of fuel. other wing, facing the south-west, should be divided and furnished with flues in the same manner; and thus different degrees of heat may be obtained, according to the seasons and the particular sorts of plants that are to be preserved. If there are no shades behind these wings, the walls should not be less than three bricks thick; and the back part having sloping roofs, which are covered with tiles or slates, should be lined with reeds, &c., under the covering. The sloping glasses of these houses should be made to slide and take off, so that they may be drawn down more or less in warm weather to admit air to the plants; and the upright glasses in front may be so contrived as that every other may open as doors upon hinges, and the alternate glasses may be divided into two. The upper part of each should be so contrived as to be drawn down like sashes, so that either of them may be used to admit air, in a greater or less quantity as there may be occasion. As to the management of the plants, Mortimer recommends opening the mould about them from time to time, and sprinkling a little fresh mould in them, and a little warm dung on that; as also to water them when the leaves begin to wither and curl, and not oftener, which would make them fade and be sickly; and to take off such leaves as wither and grow dry. GREEN ISLAND, an island on the west coast of North America, in Prince William's Sound, about twenty-four miles in circumference, and is surrounded with islets. Long. 213° 7′ E., lat. 60° 18' N. GREEN MOUNTAINS, a range of mountains extending N. N. E. to S.S. W. North America, and dividing the waters which flow easterly into Connecticut River, from those which flow westerly into Lake Champlain, Lake George, and Hudson's River. The land generally rises to its height at from twenty to thirty miles distance from the rivers. The growth upon these mountains is hemlock, pine, spruce, and other evergreens; hence they have always a green appearance, and on this account have obtained their name. In some parts snow lies till May, and sometimes till June. The chain extends through Massachusetts and Connecticut, and terminates in New Haven. Kellington Peak, the highest of these mountains, is about 3454 feet above the level of the ocean. GREEN RIVER, a river of New Brunswick, which runs into the St. John. Long. 67° 58′ W., lat. 47° 20′ N.—Also a river of Canada, which runs into the St. Lawrence, 115 miles below Quebec. GREENE (Dr. Maurice), a celebrated musical composer. He was brought up in the choir of St. Paul's, and was afterwards bound apprentice to Brind, the organist of that cathedral. He was early noticed as an elegant organ player and composer for the church, and obtained the place of organist of St. Dunstan in the West, before he was twenty years of age. In 1717, on the death of Daniel Purcell, he was likewise elected organist of St. Andrew's, Holborn; but the next year, his master Brind dying, Greene was appointed his successor by the dean and chapter of St. Paul's; upon which event, he quitted both the places he had previously obtained. In 1726, on the death of Dr. Croft, he was appointed organist and composer to the Chapel Royal; and on the death of Eccles, 1735, master of his majesty's band. In 1730 he obtained the degree of doctor in music at Cambridge, and was appointed public music professor in the same university, in the room of Dr. Tudway. During the last years of his life he began to collect the services and anthems of our old church composers, from the single parts used in the several cathedrals of the kingdom, in order to correct and publish them in score; a plan which he did not live to accomplish; but, bequeathing his papers to Dr. Boyce, it was afterwards executed in a very splendid and ample manner. Dr. Greene died in 1755, and was succeeded, as composer to the Chapel Royal and master of his majesty's band, by his pupil Dr. Boyce. GREENE, a county of the state of New York, on the west side of the Hudson. It was erected from Albany county in 1801, and is bounded on the north by Schoharie and Albany counties, east by the Hudson, south by Ulster county, and on the west by Delaware county. Its form is irregular, but the area is estimated to be equal to 508 square miles. Population in 1816, 19,566. The chief town is Catskill. GREENE, a county of the United States, in East Tennessee. Greenville is the chief town. Population 9713. GREENEVILLE, a town of the state of Tennessee, in Greene county, situated on Nolachucky river, seventy-five miles east of Knoxville. GREENFIELD, a post town, the capital of Franklin county, Massachusetts, North America, on the west bank of the Connecticut; twenty miles south of Brattleborough; twenty-one north of Northampton; ninety-five W. N. W. of Boston; 406 west. It is situated in a pleasant and fertile tract of country, and contains a courthouse, a jail, a printing-office, a cotton manufactory, an oil-mill, and three religious societies, two congregational, and one episcopal. It is situated about one mile and a half from the river; is very pleasant, handsomely built, and flourishing, and has considerable trade. weekly newspaper is published here. A GREENLAND, an extensive country of the Western hemisphere, having the Polar Seas, or some unknown regions, for its northern boundary; the Icy Sea, and the straight which separates it from Iceland, on the east; and Baffin's Bay on the west: south, and south-east, it is washed by the Atlantic Ocean. It has been conjectured to be insular, to consist of a cluster of islands, &c., but these are mere surmises: the only known part of the coast is Cape Farewell, and a portion of West Greenland, extending to about 76° of N. lat. The eastern coast has been totally inaccessible in modern times. Hudson saw it in 73°. In 1788 a Danish ship is said to have seen this coast 2° 30′ E. of Cape Farewell; and it is also said to be seen, in clear weather, from the mountains of Iceland, in lat. 65°. The Dutch whalers, it appears, used formerly to visit this coast, between the lat. of 70° and 76°, and gave it the name of Galehamsques, or Hamken's Lund. In lat. 70° they found a deep indentation twenty-five leagues broad, which they concluded to be a strait, communicating with that of Davis, from meeting the same species of whales, some individuals of which they occasionally took with the harpoons of the western Greenlanders in them. The knowledge of the western coast, however, proves that no strait exists between Cape Farewell and the 72°. Des Pages, who supposed himself to be within a short distance of the coast of Galehamsques, in lat. 74° 20', estimates its longitude on that parallel at 15° 10′ W., and says, that the Dutch placed it in 18° 14', on the parallel of 72°. Combining these data with the reports of the missionaries, that the west coast is inhabited to the lat. of 76°, we may rationally conclude that both the east and west coasts extend to this parallel. Greenland, according to the Chronicles, was discovered in 982. The favorable account given of it by the first visitors caused the Icelanders and Norwegians to send a colony hither in 986. In 1000 these colonists were converted to Christianity; and until 1418 they had a regular succession of bishops from Denmark. The colony was divided into two cantons, named East and West; in the former were the two towns of Garda and Hrattalid, twelve churches, and two convents; and in the latter four churches, and 100 farms in cultivation. The plague, which, at the commencement of the fifteenth century, ravaged all Europe, and depopulated the north in particular, carried off the majority of the inhabitants of Greenland; and in 1418 an unknown fleet arrived, and, attacking the weakened colonists, destroyed every thing by fire and sword. The division of the ancient Scandinavian colony in Greenland into East and West has given rise to a great geographical error. It being conceived that the eastern canton occupied the coast opposite to Iceland, while it is satisfactorily proved by the routes of the voyagers from Norway and Iceland that this canton occupied the most southerly part of the west coast; and, indeed, it is here alone that, for a few weeks in summer, a brilliant verdure justifies the name of Greenland given to this country by the Icelanders. The sites of the two ancient colonies have been discovered by the missionaries, who have found the ruins of seven churches on the south-west coast, and, after passing a space without any such vestiges, they are again met with a little to the north of Cape Desolation. From the year 1418 to 1576 Greenland seems to have vanished from observation. In the latter year its south extremity was visited by Frobisher, who named it West Friezeland; and, having picked up some black stones which proved to be the marcasite of gold, Elizabeth gave the country the name of Meta Incognita (unknown limit), and determined on forming a colony here, for which purpose Frobisher was sent out on his third voyage, but the loss of the ships, with the materials for building, frustrated this plan; and Greenland was again neglected until 1720, when Egede, a Dane, inspired by religious zeal, determined to visit it, and seek for the remains of the ancient colonies. Being followed by other missionaries, with their families, several establishments were formed on the west coast, and many of the Pagan natives converted. In 1765 the Moravian brethren began to form settlements on the same coast. Greenland forms an assemblage of rocky mountains, whose summits are crowned with eternal snow and ice. The most elevated on the west coast rises in three peaks, called Deer's Horns, that are seen forty leagues. The mountains are composed of granite, argillaceous stone, and a colored stone, of which the natives make their lamps, boilers, and other utensils. The signs of metals have been observed, and asbestos is met with in the mountains. A new mineral named cryolite has also been found here. The summer, towards the south, commences at the end of May, and lasts till the beginning of September. This season would be agreeable did not the thick fogs obscure the atmosphere and weaken the power of the sun. At the approach of winter storms are often violent, but during the greatest cold, which is in February and March, it is usually calm. Thunder and rain are uncommon. The Aurora Borealis is frequent and very bright. The tides in the bays are said to rise sometimes eighteen feet. In the isle of Onastok, in lat. 60°, is a constant boiling spring. The soil is clay mixed with sand. To the north the only vegetation is mosses; but to the south are found small juniper, willows, and birches two or three yards high, together with various berry-bearing bushes, wild angelica, sorrel, tansey, rosemary, scurvy-grass, and other antiscorbutic plants, and some grasses. On the south the missionaries have endeavoured to raise wheat, but the plant, after forming a stalk of some height, always dries up and dies: they have, however, succeeded better with cabbages, turnips, and radishes. The coasts are indented with gulfs, filled with islands, and well stocked with fish, particularly cod, hallibut, and herrings. The rocks are the resorts of several species of seals, and of innumerable aquatic birds, amongst which is the eider duck. The rivers are in general small, and as well as the springs freeze in winter, and many of them dry up in summer. They afford salmon and cray fish. The principal fuel is the drift wood, brought to the shores by the currents. The sea-water deposited in the crevices of the rocks is formed into salt by natural evaporation. The quadrupeds are white bears, white and gray foxes, white hares, wolves, and dogs, used by the natives to draw their sledges, as well as occasionally for food; rein-deer are also tolerably plentiful, but the Greenlanders do not take the pains to domesticate them. The Greenlanders are evidently the same race as the Esquimaux of the neighbouring continent. Their number is very inconsiderable, being greatly reduced by the small-pox introduced from Copenhagen in 1772. The missionaries calculate under 1000 the fixed Greenlanders in their establishments, and Crantz estimates the wandering tribes at 7000 souls. In 1805 the Europeans were 6000. Greenland is politically divided into two inspectorships, named North and South, separated by the strait of Romelpoot, in lat. 68°. In the southern inspectorship are seven establishments of the missionaries and three of Moravians, viz. Julian's Harbour, 61°; Frederick's Harbour, 62° 30′; Fiskenhoset, 63° 30'; Good Haven 64° 10'; Sukertoppen 65° 40′; Kigurtursok, and Holsteinborg, 67° 10′. The Moravian are New Hernhaut, near Good Haven, Lechtenfels, 63°, and Lichtenau, five leagues north-east of Cape Farewell. In the northern inspectorship the missionaries' establishments are eleven; one on each of the islands of Prince Royal and Crown Prince, Egedesminde, 68° 20′; Jacob's Haven, 68° 40'; Christian's Haven 68° 50′; Claus Haven, Good Haven 69° 10′, in the isle of Disco; Fortune Bay, eight miles farther north, Rutter's Bank, 70° 10′; Umanak, 71°; Uppernavik, 72° 30′. The Greenlanders are a migratory people, and often transfer their abodes, in the winter season, from one place to another. They build their houses generally at the mouths of friths, or on the shores of small islands. The following is a list of places inhabited by them from 1810 to 1813, supplied to the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal by Sir Charles Giesecke of Dublin. I. JULIANAS-HAAB district.-In the south of Greenland, that is in 60°, or the most southern district of Julianus-haab, round Cape Farewell are inhabited : : 1. Alluk (that is the soles), two small islands presenting the shape of the soles of the foot. 2. Kippingajak, an island to the south of Alluk. 3. Pysursoak, a small bay to the north of Staatenhuck. 4. Nettingiak, on the continent, eastward from Cape Farewell. 5. Nennortelik (that is Bear-land), an island eastward from Cape Farewell. 6. Tessermint, a large frith to the north of Cape Farewell, formerly inhabited by the old Norwegians. At the mouth of this frith there are several Greenland houses, sixty-four miles south from the colony of Julianas-haab, in 60°. 7. Kognamint, to the south of Julianas-haab, on the continent. 8. Innersutalik, an island forty miles southward from Julianas-haab. 9. Agluitsock, on the continent, thirty miles southward from the colony. 10. Sardlok, an island sixteen miles southward from the colony. 11. Omenalik, twelve miles to the south of the colony. 12. Upernaviarsuk, sixteen miles towards the east of the colony. 13. Itiblik, twenty miles towards the east of the colony. At the colony of Julianas-haab, only natives are employed in the service of the trade, who live in Greenland houses. Between 61° and 62° are inhabited. 14. Ikertongoak, an island eight miles towards the west, at the mouth of the frith called Kakortok. 15. Narksak, in the vicinity of the continental ice, twenty miles northward from the colony. 16. Krimatuluitsanik, an island forty miles northward from Julianas-haab. 17. Okaitsermint and Kikerteitsiak, forty-four miles from the colony. Here ends the district called Julianas-haab. It is inhabited by 1762 natives, viz. 754 males and 1008 females. II. (18.) FREDERICKS-HAAB district extends from the Nunarsoi Island to the Ice-blink, about 20′ to the north of Fredericks-haab. Of the southern part of the district are inhabited : 19. Torngarsuk, an island thirty-two miles to the south of the colony. 20. Kangarsuk, a cape of the continent of Greenland. 21. Narksalik, twenty-eight miles southward from the colony: and, 22. Sioramint, eight miles to the north of the colony. The population of this district comprehends 552 natives, viz 234 males and 318 females. III. FISKER-NER District extends from 62° 52′ to 63° 30'. 23. The inhabitants of the district Fiskerner have their houses at the settlement of the Moravian Brethren, called Lichtenfeld. Their number is 280, viz. 112 males and 168 females. IV. GODT-HAAB. The district of the colony Godt-haab begins at 63° 30', and reaches to 64° 52. The following places are inhabited : 24. Kariæt, eight miles southward from the colony. 25. New-Sterrn-Hut, a Moravian settlement, situated between the friths of Ameraglik and Baals River. 26. Godt-haab, the Danish colony in Baals River, and 27. Sarlok, to the north-east of Baals River. -The population of this district amounts to 489 natives, viz. 186 belonging to the Danish mission and 303 belonging to the Moravian mission. The former consists of eighty-one males and 105 females, the latter of 123 males and 180 females. V. SUKKER-TOP. The district of Sukker-top (sugar loaf) begins at 64° 52′ and ends at 66° 17'. In this district the following places are inhabited by natives. Towards the south of the colony :28. Nappasok, an island situated forty miles southward from the colony. 29. The colony Sukker-top itself, called Manetsok by the natives; and 30. Akpamiut, sixteen miles northward from the colony. The population of this district is 304; viz. 143 males and 161 females. VI. HOLSTEINSBURG District is the last in South Greenland. 31. The district of Holsteinsburg begins at 66° 16′ and ends with 67° 45'. The natives, being employed in the whale fishery, have all their winter-houses round the colony. The number of the inhabitants of this district is 196, viz. eighty-seven males and 109 females. Thus the whole population of South Greenland, the limits of which are fixed to the Strom Frith in 68°, comprehends a number of 3583 souls. North Greenland commences in lat. 67° 43′, and comprehends the following districts: 1. Egedes-mindes district, extending from 2. Christianshaab district. . 67° 43′ to 68° 68° 68° 10' . 68° 69° 40′ . 69° 40′ 71° 71° 72° 8' 72° 8' 76° 30′ The population of North Greenland is not entirely ascertained, but it does not exceed the number of 3000 souls. The country from 67° to 69° is uninhabited. The first district of North Greenland is that of the colony Egedes-minde. The natives belonging to this and the other districts situated round Disko-Bay, or Fish-Bay, have their houses at the colonies, for the sake of the whale-fishery. The Greenlanders of Omenak district are the only natives of the whole coast who live during winter in the interior of that extensive frith, having their supply in catching the seals, by means of nets which are set under the ice. The most northern district is that of Upernavik; it begins at 72°, and reaches to the remotest north; but it is only inhabited to the 73°. Southwards from Upernavik is situated Kangersoietsiak, an island inhabited by natives. At Upernavik four or five Greenland families have their abode. At Tessiursak, an island in 74° 15', eighty miles northward from Upernavik, one family terminates the population of this forlorn country. GREENOCK, a town in the lower ward of Renfrewshire, and the principal sea-port of Scotland, is situated in long. 0° 18′ 58′′ W., lat. 55° 57′ 2′′ N. Seated on the south bank of the Frith of Clyde; it has in front a noble bay, anciently called the bay of St. Lawrence, the. river expanding here to the breadth of more than five miles. The advance of Greenock to its present commercial importance, from an obscure fishing village, has been steadily progressive, yet rapid. In 1757, at which period the population was under 4000, it was erected into a burgh of barony by Sir John Schaw, who at the same time conferred upon the feuars and burgesses the power of electing their own magistrates, a privilege rarely possessed in Scotland. Though a modern town, Greenock is irregularly built, and the streets in the lower part of it very narrow. The principal line, however, which extends about a mile from east to west, is tolerably spacious and well-built, and at the west end of the town the streets are judiciously laid out, and the houses handsome. Near the eastern extremity is a square, containing a spacious parish church, with a spire 146 feet in height. In the same square is an elegant reading room, and still further eastward are placed the Exchange Buildings, containing another public reading room, assembly rooms, &c.; and on the opposite side of the street is the Tontine, an extensive hotel for the accommodation of travellers. In 1826 James Watt, Esq., of Soho, son of the celebrated improver of the steam-engine, to whom Greenock had the distinguished honor of giving birth, bestowed a sum of £2000, to be expended in the erection of a suitable hall for a public library, the site of which was judiciously laid in the vicinity of the public buildings just mentioned; and in this edifice is to be placed a full-length marble statue of the late Mr. Watt, from the chisel of Chantry. In 1817-18 an extensive edifice was erected by government, at an expense of £33,000, for the accommodation of the customs and excise departments: it is finely placed, close upon the river, and being a handsome structure, with a spacious front, and elegant portico, of the Grecian Doric order, is a very attractive object in approaching the harbour. The chief foreign trade of Greenock is carried on with the West Indies, North and South America, the East Indies, and the Mediterranean. The principal imports are sugar, rum, coffee, cotton, timber, ashes, grain, &c. An extensive coasting trade is also carried on; much of the agricultural produce of Ireland is brought hither, and the herring fishery, originally its only trade, is still an important branch; the number of barrels cured in the ten years preceding the 5th of April, 1826, according to the official reports, giving an average of 18,608 barrels annually. In the year 1825 the duties of customs collected at this port amounted to £414,447 2s. 7d., and, notwithstanding the commercial depression of the following year, the sum of £395,774 2s. 5d. was collected in that which terminated on the 5th of January, 1827. From the 5th of January, 1826, till the period just mentioned, 54,037 tons of British shipping cleared inwards at this port, and 2380 Foreign ditto; 58,519 tons British, outwards, and 2260 foreign ditto; 39,299 tons of shipping cleared inwards, and 71,931 outwards,, in the coasting trade. The registered shipping of the port, at this date, amounted to 26,534 tons. The harbours, which have been enlarged from time to time, are spacious and commodious, and capable of admitting vessels of great burden. There are two graving-docks, one of them very extensive, constructed at an expense of £30,000; and, upon the whole works for the accommodation. of shipping, upwards of £120,000 have been expended. The revenues of the town and harbours exceed £10,000 annually. The business of ship-carpentry is extensively carried on here, there being four building-yards, which employ a great number of men, and annually launch some of the finest vessels of which the mercantile marine can boast. Since 1812, when on the Clyde the first successful experiment was made of applying steam to the purposes of navigation, the building of steam-boats has given no inconsiderable employment to the ship-carpenters. It was from this port that the first vessels which navigated the open sea between Holyhead and Dublin were fitted out, and subsequently those which run between the Clyde and Mersey; and, at a more recent date, the largest and most splendidly equipped steamvessel in the world, the United Kingdom, was built and finished here, at an expense little short of £40,000. In 1827, beside those steam-packets, many of them of large dimensions and power, which conveyed goods and passengers, or the latter exclusively, to and from this port and Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast, Derry, and the Western and Northern Highlands, a number plied within the range of Greenock and Glasgow only, making an aggregate number of about sixty vessels of this description alone. By this means an incalculable number of persons are annually conveyed in every direction; and places previous to the introduction of steam-vessels deemed remote, and comparatively inaccessible, are now brought into communication by a voyage of a few hours, with ease, safety, and certainty. In local manufactures Greenock has not held so prominent a rank as in commerce; still it contains many works on a respectable scale of magnitude. Its sugar refineries, five in number, in all of which the process is carried on by steam, are extensively employed; it possesses two large works for the manufacture of steamengines, and other machinery; a flint-glass work, the products of which are much esteemed; a bottle-work, breweries, distilleries, a pottery, rope-works, chain cable, and duck manufactories. Hat-making is also pretty extensively carried on; and, to the enterprise of two gentlemen in this place, the British public are indebted for the manufacture of straw-plat, in imitation of that imported from and known by the name of Leghorn, which they in a short period brought to so much perfection as to rival in every respect the foreign commodity. But in 1825, a period in which so many absurd projects, amongst some of unquestionable utility, found ready patrons, a scheme was first set in motion, of a novel description certainly, but calculated at no distant day to render Greenock as conspicuous in a manufacturing as a commercial point of view. It was shortly this: to take the advantage of the natural facilities which were presented by a chain of hills that extend several miles to the westward of Greenock, and by means of these to lead a considerable stream, known by the name of the Shaw's Water, along a high level to the immediate vicinity of the town, from the heights behind, which it might descend in successive. falls, for the purpose of working machinery employed in the various manufactures, by a less expensive agent than steam. A joint stock company was accordingly formed, and incorporated by act of parliament with a capital of £30,000, and the execution of the plan confided in Mr. Robert Thom, of the Rothesay cotton works, who may be said to be the inventor of artificial water-power, having successfully carried into practice the same plan, though on a smaller scale, at Rothesay. The necessary works were commenced, by |
