On connoit des carrières qui sont d'une étendue très-considérable; celle de Mastricht, par exemple, où l'on dit que 50 mille personnes peuvent se réfugier, et qui est soutenue par plus de mille pilliers, qui ont 20 ou 24 pieds de hauteur;

In a Lake on the Top of the Hill Stella in Portugal, are found Pieces of Ships, though it be distant from the Sea more than twelve Leagues. Near to Raja, is a Lake observable for its hideous rumbling Noise, which is ordinarily heard before a Storm, and that at the Distance of five or fix Leagues. About eight Leagues from Coimbra is a remarkable Fountain, which swallows up, or draws in, whatsoever Thing only touches the Surface of its Waters; an Experiment of which is frequently made with the Trunks of Trees.The Town of Bethlem (nigh to Lisbon) is noted for the sumptuous Tombs of the Kings of Portugal.
(...) a qual, quando o mar anda bravo se enfurece também, dando bramidos como trovão, motivo porque os naturais crêem que comunica com o mar, e ainda mais o asseveram os que sabem, que João Vaseo, escreve que nela já foram achados troços de mastros de navios.
No lugar de Cadima, distante duas léguas da Vila de Tentúgal, comarca de Coimbra, há uma fonte ou charco, que tem de altura um palmo de água, a que os da terra chamam Fervenças, a qual sorve tudo quanto nela se lança, ainda que sejão cousas que nela não cabem , e segundo escreve João Vaseo na Crónica de Hespanha, e depois dele o Padre António Vasconcelos, e Duarte Nunez de Leão nas descrições que escreveram de Portugal, já sucedeu que sorveu arvores inteiras, que de propósito se lhe lançaram, para ver se as sorvia, e chegando-lhe uma besta, a ia sorvendo, de maneira, que com grande trabalho tiveram mão nela.
A 200 metros de distancia, passa o rio Mondego, e fica também próximo o monte do Cântaro (o Olympo dos antigos). Deste monte brotam trez caudalosos mananciaes de cristalinas águas, que dão origem a trez rios — o Mondego, o Alva e o Zêzere.Desconheço igualmente a razão pela qual Pinho Leal se vai lembrar de associar o Monte do Cântaro ao "Olimpo dos antigos"... parece descabido e de pretencioso nacionalismo exacerbado. É interessante notar que o início do Séc. XIX aparece bem mais frio do que o final do mesmo século... e não só! Apesar dessas neves constantes na Serra da Estrela, Silveira afirma que a Serra de Montejunto seria a mais alta de Portugal... hipótese que também é mencionada no Archivo Popular, mas descartada.

Sur la montagne de Stella au Portugal, il y a un lac dans lequel on a trouvé des débris de vaisseaux, quoique cette montagen soit éloignée de la mer de plus de douze lieues (Voyez la Geographie de Gordon, édit. de Londres 1733, page 149). Sabinus, dans ses commentaires sur les métamorphoses d'Ovide, dit qu'il paroît para les monumens de l'Histoire, qu'en l'année 1460 on trouva dans une mine des Alpes un vaisseau avec ses ancres.
Both in Scotland and in South America, upheaval of land in more or less modern times is a recognized fact, and the finding of boats, as of various other productions of human art, in places where they could hardly have been placed by man, is readily accounted for between this upheaval and the effects of ordinary accumulation and degradation.
In the Old World, myths both old and new connected with huge bones, fossil or recent, are common enough. Marcus Scaurus brought to Rome, from Joppa, the bones of the monster who was to have devoured Andromeda, while the vestiges of the chains which bound her were to be seen there on the rock; and the sepulchre of Antaeus, containing his skeleton, 60 cubits long, was found in Mauritania.
Don Quixote was beforehand with Dr. Falconer in reasoning on the huge fossil bones so common in Sicily as remains of ancient inhabitants, as appears from his answer to the barber's question, how big he thought the giant Morgante might have been? "... Moreover, in the island of Sicily there have been found long-bones and shoulder-bones so huge, that their size manifests their owners to have been giants, and as big as great towers, for this truth geometry sets beyond doubt." Again, the fossil bones so plentifully strewed over the Sewalik, or lowest ranges of the Himalayas, belonged to the slain Rakis, [p.324] the gigantic Eakshasas of the Indian mythology.
The remains of the Dun Cow that Guy Earl of Warwick slew are or were to be seen in England, in the shape of a whale's rib in the church of St. Mary Redcliffe, and some great fossil bone kept, I believe, in Warwick Castle. "The giant sixteen feet high, whose bones were found in 1577 near Heyden under an uprooted oak, and examined and celebrated in song by Felix Plater, the renowned physician of Basle, has been long ago banished by later naturalists into a very distant department of zoology; but the giant has from that time forth got a firm standing ground beside the arms of Lucerne, and will keep it, all critics to the contrary notwithstanding."Ao contrário do que julgava Tylor, o brazão de Lucerna já não inclui nenhum gigante de Felix Plater, reportado com 18 ou 19 pés de altura, e que era citado por Júlio Verne na sua "Viagem ao centro da Terra"... Agora ficou bastante simplificado:

Passados onze anos, em 1871 foi inaugurada na praça de Setúbal um monumento de homenagem a Bocage.No reinado de D. Maria I fizeram-se ali grandes escavações, que afinal não progrediram pela causa referida. Descobriram-se, contudo, alguns edifícios, e extraíram-se muitos objectos d'arte preciosos, medalhas, utensílios, etc. Entre os primeiros figura uma magnifica coluna de mármore branco arraiado de negro e cinzento, com um capitel de ordem corinthia, se bem nos lembramos, primorosamente cinzelado; a qual a mesma soberana mandou inaugurar n'uma praça de Setubal, onde ao presente se admira como um dos melhores adornos da cidade.
