Extract

The brick which I have now the honour to exhibit to the Antiquarian Society (together with a drawing of it) was sent to me by a friend at Bombay, and arrived in England about August or September last. My correspondent says, that it was lately brought to Bombay, with some others of the same kind, from the ruins of the city of Babylon, but unluckily omits to inform me by whom they were brought, or to give any description of the place or its situation where they were found; but merely mentions it as a fact known at Bombay, that they certainly came from the site of antient Babylon.
