Dear Sir, You were kind enough in your last letter not to require an immediate answer ; yet I made a discovery about a week ago which I did intend to communicate earlier. Do not be alarmed; it is not the hibernacula of the Hirundines that I have found out, nor even the longitude, though I did indeed meet with a person at Higham Ferrars who told me he had discovered that, and the perpetual motion, and to square the circle. My disco- veries are of a much more humble nature, and what any other tra...velled gentleman, even if he did not ride a black horse but a pale white one, might have made. In the course of my travels I came to Bourn, a small market town in Lincolnshire. Inqui- ring for curiosities, " You have heard, I dare say, " said a de- cent man in the street, " of Bourn well head, a spring that turns three mills in the space of a mile, " I think he said, but certainly in the parish. I went to see it ; and I will extract the account of it from my as yet inedited journal. " You might take it at first for a stagnant pool ; but there are no runners (as a man called them) into it, and the water is most clear and beautiful, in extent perhaps 30 yards by 20 ; and one if not two copious streams run out of it (I believe they mostly run into one ; but the streams are divided in some places for the convenience of the town) : yet it is in the midst of a flat country, and I question whether there is any land higher than this as much even as three feet within as many miles.
