a town of Staffordshire, in England, on the south-west side of Eccleshall. Here is a surprising echo, which, taken 440 yards north-east from the manor house, near a little bank under a wood side, repeats in a still day 10 or 11 syllables very distinctly, or 12 or 13, if spoke very quick. It is remarked that the banks of the Black Meer, in this parish, grow forward every year over the surface of the water at the rate of three or four yards every seven years.
