ding glafi plates for the ornamenting tin yds of

apartments to that of introducing light into the*
apartments, (as we find the lath ftecularis was in
fa& employed at the fame time for both thofe purpofes)
and confequently it kerns reafonoble to fuppofe, that
the tatter of thefe applintions could not be long in
point of time after the former. But it appears from
the authorities produced above, that the former
of there triages did Orally fulrfill in the age (a3)
of Pliny r and therefore beim the deans:lion of
Herculaneom, where he ton his life (ta). FrOrth
whence we may draw no inmrobabk conclufion,
that the Imes deflination of plates of glafs, (toz.
for window-fences) did likewife precede the foam
event.
Give me leave to add further, that this prefurnp-
five argument in favour of the mtiquity of windows
made of plates of glafs receives an additional force
from the clofc relatioo, which mat be allowed to
fubfifl between them, and thofe conspored of die
L,c Jpeetildrit. The fanner mull be looked upon
m an Improvement upon the other, as they anfwcred.
