An account of a subterraneous city near Mount Vesuvius,
which had been overturned near the said mount, and buried
many years since by the eruptions and an earthquake, and
which had been discover'd thro' a well. Taken from
Philosophical Transactions, Numb. 458. just published. The
King of Naples having become a virtuoso, had caused persons
to work on this subterraneous town, from whence they had got
very curious pictures, statutes, and other pieces of
antiquity. . ..The second letter says, "Such Pictures as
were never seen in our Days, quite surprizing;. . . Among
others it mentions Thesus and the Minotaur.--Chiron teaching
Achilles to touch the Harp. . ."
