Tobacco-Pipe-Clay.

This is a fine Clay, which will burn white (while others turn red) found in several parts of England; but so far from the Sea, it will not quit cost of portage to London, save from two places,

1. Poole, in this County.	2. Isle of Wight.
This wrought alone makes an hard Pipe, but so shrunk and shriveled, it is unhand∣some to the eye.	This wrought alone, makes a fair and full Pipe, but so brittle, that it is uncer∣viceable for use.

Both compounded together make these Utensils both hard and handsome. This Clay brought to London by Ship for Ballast, is there worth about Thirty shillings the Tun.
