MICHAEL'S MOUNT, St, in the county of Cornwall, and in the corner of Mount's Bay, is a very high rock, only divided by the tide from the main land, so that it is land and island twice a-day. The town here was burned by the French in the reign of Henry VIII. At the bottom of this mount, in digging for tin, there have been found spear-heads, battle-axes, and swords, of brass, all wrapt up in linen. The county is contracted here into a sort of isthmus. Large trees have been driven in by the sea between this mount and Penzance.
