Under the inscription is rudely sculptured on the stone a figure bearing some resemblance to a buboe, or tumor, with an issue in it.

Being highly infectious, like the modern plague of Turkey, it generally brought on debility rapidly, and proved fatal. When the plague infested London, in 1665, the symptoms were vomiting blood, with fever; purple, blue, or black spots on the body; swellings in the groin, arm pits, and behind the ears. 303, line 19, for before him, read previously 336, ... 6, for to form an association, read of forming themselves into an association 358, 9, after resort, add of borrowing money for paying interest for 391, Note-Both ferry boats now belong to the town of Aberdeen ...
