Aci Reale stands on seven different beds of superposed lava, having layers of earth resulting from decomposed lava between. The Canon Recupero calculated from observation, that a lava requires at least 2000 years to form even a scanty layer of earth, consequently he inferred that the lowest of the lava streams upon which Aci rests 74 ETNA. must have been formed 14, 000 years ago. These views he stated to Brydone a hundred years ago; the latter says, "Recupero tells me he is exceedingly embarras...sed by these discoveries in writing the history of the mountain. That Moses hangs like a dead weight upon him, and blunts all his zeal for enquiry; for that really he has not the conscience to make his mountain so young as that prophet makes the world. What do you think of these sentiments from a Eoman Catholic Divine? The Bishop, who is strenuously orthodox for it is an excellent See has already warned him to be upon his guard, and not to pre- tend to be a better natural historian than Moses ; not to presume to urge anything that may, in the smallest degree, be deemed contradictory to his sacred authority.
