Excerpt from Remarks Concerning Stones Said to Have Fallen From the Clouds, Both in These Days, and in Antient Times It may be of some use, and afford satisfaction to several cu rious persons, to find the whole here compressed in so small a compass. And, as I shall add my own conclusions without reserve; because the whole of the phaenomenon tends greatly to confirm some ideas which I had previously been led to form, many years ago, concerning the consolidation of certain species of stone; it may open a door for further curious investigation. And it may at least amuse, if not instruct; whilst I add a short detail of uncommon facts, recorded in antient history, and tending to shew clearly, that we are not without prece dents of similar events having happened, in the early ages of antiquity.
