Extract

I Have the honour to transmit herewith the model of a Druid Temple, discovered some time ago on the top of a pretty high rocky hill, near the town of St. Helier, in the Island of Jersey. I am sorry to have so long delayed executing the promise I made to send it your lordship; but it having been transmitted to me without a scale, I did not care to trouble you till that material defect was remedied. By the scale which I have now received, and which is of three feet to an inch, your lordship will see the dimensions are not great, but I imagine it to be the most intire and perfect monument of this kind existing in this part of the world.
