and its materials divided so scrupu-
lously, that the stones, it is Jsaid, were
shared one by one; a compromise, how-
ever, seems to have taken place before
their demolishing hands approached
the present remains. From the num-
ber of ancient coins and reliques dis-
covered here, and from other circum-
stances, it is evident that Malton was a
Roman station, but to pretend that it
was the Camalodunum of Ptolemy, is
absurd, as that municipal town is satis-
factorily ascertained to have been Mal-
den, in Essex. New Malton is a very
flourishing place; the river having been
made navigable in the reign of Queen
Anne, vast quantities of corn and provi-
sions are shipped for Hull and other mar-
kets : the town is about half a mile in
length, and possesses a handsome suite
of public rooms, with a theatre; St.
Leonard’s church has a tall spire, which
is left] unfinished, and presents the un-
sightly appearance of a truncated cone:
the town stands on an eminence, over-
looking the river, which runs through
a beautiful and fertile vale. The manor
is the property of Earl Fitzwilliam.

ton : the church is a very ancient struc-
ture, and adjoins some remains of a

bishop Holgate endowed here a free
grammar school.
