STROMBOLI, the most northerly of the Lipari islands, lying on the Tuscan Sea, towards the coast of Sicily. There are but a few families which inhabit one side of it; for the middle parts are raised up into an high volcano, continually throwing out fire and smoke. Sir William Hamilton passed by this island in his voyage to Sicily, but did not land. He observed that the volcano threw out great quantities of stones, and ashes; but no lava, excepting now and then a very little, which would run a small way down the side of the mountain, and there congeal.
