. . " we could perceive a return but of four or five. All echoes have some one place to which they are returned stronger and more distinct than to any other; and that is always the place that lies at right angles with the object of repercussion, and is not too near, nor too far off. Buildings, or naked rocks, re-echo much more articulately than hanging woods or vales ; because in the latter the voice is as it were entangled, and embarrassed in the covert, and weakened in the rebound. The true o...bject of this echo, as we found by various experiments, is the stone-built, tiled hop-kiln in G ally-lane, which measures in front forty feet, and from the ground to the eaves twelve feet. The true centrum phonicum, or just distance, is one particular spot in the king's field, in the path to Nbre-hill, on the very brink of the steep balk above the hollow cart-way. In this case there is no choice of distance ; but the path, by mere contingency, happens to be the lucky, the identical spot, because the ground rises or falls so immediately, if the speaker either retires or advances, that his mouth would at once be above or below the object.
