114 A New Voyage Vol. I.
There are ah infinite number of things fastned
to the Cieling and Walls. They made us take
notice of the Pidure of a MAn, who ( as they
inform’d us ) receiv’d a Wound with a Lance,
which pierc’d the whole substance of his Brain,
and yet recover’d. The Ark of Noah, by Bass'an,
is most esteem’d among the Pictures, and ’tis re-

Duke of Tufcany would have given a hundred
thousand Crowns for it. Besides the Medals
which I mention’d before, and whose number is
extream great, there is above a large Mule’s
Load, that lie huddled together in a Chest.
When we parted from hence they brought us to
the Library, which we found in very bad order,
and our Guide could give us no Information.
From the Library we passed into a Gallery,
where there is a great number of Statues, Busts,
and other Pieces of Antiquity; and we saw af-
terwards several Chambers hung round with Pi-
dures of great Value.
This Account is somewhat long and particu-
lar, but I hope it will not seem tedious to you.
I musf not forget to tell you of a Servant at our
Gol- Inn, who deserves to be ranked with these Ra-

Ground, and a Man of good Stature stands upon
his Hand ; he 'lifts him up with this Hand only,
and carries him from one end of the Room to
the other. I am,
