| Transcript | To the Editor of the Newry Magazine. SIR, As the phenomena of nature ought, in my opinion, to rank among the first subjects that deserve the attention of your readers, I herewith send you, accompanied with a graphic sketch, a description of WIER'S CAVE, situated in the Blue Ridge of the Alleganies [Allegheny?], not far distant from Madison's Cave, in the precipitous eastern barrier of the delightful valley of Shenandoah. I may probably be mistaken, yet it is my opinion, so far as my reading extends, that this cave has never yet found a description in any of our European Miscellanies; and, as it claims such superiority in extent and magnificence to Madison's Cave, I am rather inclined to flatter myself with the belief, that you will conceive it worthy of a place among the highly interesting subjects that composes your tasteful, literary repository. I am, sir, with respect and esteem, your obedient servant, JAMES SYLVIUS LAW. Belfast, 20th August, 1817. |
