MR. GREEN, of Ambleside, requests the attention of his Friends to Proposals for Publishing, by Subscription, Three Hundred Etchings of the most interesting Scenes in the Counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, and that part of Lancashire bordering upon, and extending northward of, the River Lune, which runs by Lancaster. These Etchings will be published in Five Parts, of Sixty Prints each, and the Price of each Part, when printed upon Octavo Paper, of the size of West's and Houseman's Guides to the Lakes, will be One Guinea, but upon larger paper, One Pound Five Shillings. The Etchings, like the Proposer's former works, will be executed by himself, in the soft Ground Line; a mode which he conceives to be more happily adapted to the imitation of pencil drawings than any other which has yet appeared. The size of the Coppers 8\ Inches by 5% ; and of the Etchings upon those coppers 6| Inches by 4. The First Part will be ready for delivery to the Subscribers in the course of the present month, and may be had separately by those who do not choose to subscribe for the whole, or any of the other Parts. Sets of each part will be shaded with Indian ink, upon impressions taken, on the large paper, at Three Guiaeas each Set. ( 2 ) Coloured copies, having the eiFect of finished drawings, Five Guineas each copy. The Sixty Prints now ready for pubHcation, (excepting a few Buildings) are chiefly Views of the principal Lakes; but the complete series of Three Hundred Prints will embrace all that is grand and beautiful amongst these Lakes and Mountains, together with every description of pictu- resque antiquity comprehended within the districts before mentioned. And the Proposer having resided fourteen years in the centre of that beautiful country from which his subjects for the preseiit work have been selected, trusts that he shall be enabled to give to the eye of taste a richer display of genuine nature than has usually been done in Prints on so small a scale. The Old Halls, Farm-Houses, and Cottages of the north of England have long been admired for their elegant peculiarity of design ; and, aided by accidental additions and dilapidations, and by combinations of the richest woods and back-grounds of rocks and mountains, are, in their kind, finer objects for study than any others to be met with in the island. Modernizing has, however, recently spoiled many of these buildings; and fourteen years more will probably see them pared and plaistered into all the monotony of the erections of the present day. To save from the wreck of time and the busy hand of man the best specimens of this mountain architecture, is one of the principal objects of the present publication, which offers Three Hundred of the choicest subjects at the moderate price of Five or Six Guineas, A Gentleman of literary eminence has engaged to write an account of the country from which the materials for this work have been derived, and it will be delivered with the last Part, ■which is intended to appear about the end of the year 1815 ; but as the cost of the letter press cannot be at present ascertained, the Subscribers will not be obliged to take it, should they wish to have the Prints only. It is likewise proposed to Publish ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ETCHINGS, FROM PENCIL DRAWINGS MADE ENTIRELY UPON THE SPOT 5 BEING A SELECTION OF THE FINEST SCENES IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND AND SOUTH OF SCOTLAND. The Drawings from which these Etchings will be produced are upon Super Rojal Paper, 27 Inches by 19. The Impressions of the above One Hundred and Twenty Plates, like the Sixty published in the years 1808, 1809, and 1810, will be taken upon Imperial Paper, 30 Inches by 21. The Subjects of the 120 Etchings will be classed as follow] any of which Class maybe subscribed for separately : Thirty Views of Abbies Five Guineas Thirty Views of Castles, old Halls, and Farm-Houses Five Guineas Thirty Views of English Lakes Five Guineas Thirty Views of Mountains, Rivers, Waterfalls, &c Five Guineas. The Abbies will be a selection of thirty of the best specimens of the architecture of the middle ages, to be found in the northern counties of England and tlioseof the south of Scotland. The Castles, old Halls, and Farm-Houses, will be likewise derived from the Abbey district, and the borders of the Lakes and Mountains. The Lake and Mountain Views will be the choicest assemblage that can be made, from several hundred subjects produced by the Artist during his long residence in the north of England. The Proposer has been honoured by the following distinguished Subscriptions to ail the above One Hundred and Twenty Etchings: His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, His Majesty's Library, The Right Honourable the Earl OF LoNSDALE. He has likewise the honour to have received the Subscriptions of other Noblemen and Gentlemen of high rank] of several Members of the Royal Academy; and of various eminent literary characters. As speedily as possible will likewise he Published, TWELVE COLOURED PRINTS OF VIEWS OF THE PRINCIPAL LAKES. Size of the Work, 25 Inches by 17|-. Price Ten Guineas the Set. The above Prints are of the size of the Artist's Ten Guinea Drawings. TWELVE COLOURED PRINTS OF THE LAKES. 21 Inches by 15. Price Seven Pounds Ten Shillings the Set. TWELVE COLOURED VIEWS OF THE LAKES. 12 Inches by 8^. Price Three Guineas the Set. The Plates for the above Coloured Piints will be executed by the Proposer in Aquatinta; anrl they will be made to resemble, as nearly as possible, the finest finished Drawings, by the Artist himself, and by his family nnder his immediate superintendance. ' Subscriptions are received by Mr. Green, Ambleside ; by Mr. Dickenson, late Mr. Munn, 114, New Bond Street- and by Mr. M'Queen, 72, Newman Street, London. llie following Etchings, already Published, may be had in Ambleside and London. SIXTY SCENES OF LAKES, MOUNTAINS, RIVERS, FAEM-HOUSES, COTTAGES, BRIDGES, AND TREES. Printed on Imperial Paper, 30 Inches by 21. Price Ten Guineas the Set, including a Book of Descriptions. SEVENTY-EIGHT STUDIES FROM NATURE. Price Five Guineas. Printed on a Half Sheet of Imperial, These Studies were published principally with a design to lead the young Student to the easy and successful practice of Drawing from Nature.— This intention has been, in many instances, happily accomplished ; and that the above Works are rising fast in reputation, is sufficiently proved by the recently increased demand for them, J.

LONDON: PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR, BY JOHN TYLER, RATHBONE PLACE j AND PUBLISHED BY WILLIAM GREEN, AMBLESIDE. 1814. 4 . -■■■ ,;■ No. 1. CONISTON WATER. The Artist has commenced his Descriptions at Coniston Water, and pursued a line which he thinks will have les* to be retraced than any other he could have chosen. Coniston Water is six miles in length, and the greatest breadth is three-quarters of a mile; it is encircled by an excellent carriage-road, which is often on the margin of the water, and scarcely ever a mile from it : the most interest- ing part of this road is that which lies on the eastern side of the lake, and is part of that usually travelled by tourists in their way to Coniston and Hawkshead from Ulverstone. The views on this road are interesting, by their variety and beauty, all the way from Nibthwaite, which lies at the foot, to the New Inn, which is at the head of the lakes. The first view after leaving Nibthwaite is of " the Man," a mountain somewhat conical, and of other summits scarcely inferior in height. The view here presented is a mile from the foot of the lake, and is of the Man mountain, or, as it is more frequently called, the " Old Man,'' with the pointed summit of Enfoot on the right, and Dove Crag on the left — a range of line probably more picturesque than is exhibited by these mountains on any other stand from or near the road before spoken of: the middle grounds and foregrounds are, however, better on some stations north of the one here chosen. No. 2. CONISTON WATERHEAD. This view of the lake is about four miles and a half from the former, and out of a field above the road, between the Inn and Tent Lodge, the property and residence of Colonel Smith. The distant mountain is the Old Man, assuming here an appearance much different from that in No. 1 : Thwaite immediately under it, and apparently near the water's edge, was the residence ol the late David Kirby, Esq. the proprietor. 5 No. 3. SCENE NEAR CONISTON WATERHEAD. The New Tnn at Waterhead stands near the head of the lake j and this scene is upon the road from the churcli- and village of Coniston, by tliat inn, to Ambleside ; it is about two or three hundred yards from the inn, and that dis- tance from the mansion house called Waterhead, the property of Michael Knott, Esq^. and which is still nearer, and upon the road to, Ambleside. No. 4. SHEPHERD'S BRIDGE, IN YEWDALE. Shepherd's Bridge is situated in YewdalCj a valley sublimely environed by high mountains. It Is a short distance from t1i6 famoiiS YeW TreCj and hot twfl iiiiles frotU Conlstotl Waterhead. The ttiountaia seen over the bridge is MavisH Crag. ESTHWAITE WATER. From the inn at eoniston Waterhead it is three miles to Hawkshead, through which pass to Esthwalte Water, half a mile more. Esthwalte Water is about two miles in length, and half a mile across. The most striking object on its borders is the promontory at Esthwalte Hall ; it shoots boldly to the lake, which is encompassed by gentle hills. There is an excellent road round the lake ; and the distant objects seen from and connected with it, if not sublime, are tt least pleasing. From Hawkshead proceed down the western side of the Water, and pass Esthwaite Hall : the road here divides | that on the right leads to Ulverstone, and the left either to the Ferry House or round Esthwaite Water. Ascend the Ulverstone road about two hundred yards, to the common's boundary on the left, and from the trees near that boundary see the promontory before spoken of, and Esthwaite Hall between it and the eye. Each side of the lake, as seen from this place, is environed with meadow and pasture ground pleasantly wooded j the lands at the head of the lake are of the same character, only diversified by villages peeping from amongst groves of trees : the scene is closed, though at a great distance, by the lofty mountains of Grasmere, Rydal, and Ambleside. No. 6. HEAD OF WINDERMERE, FROM LOW WOOD. Ambleside is not a mile north of the head of Windermere. Ambleside is 16 miles from Keswick, 40 from Whitehaven, 10 from Ulls Water, 63 from Penrltlij 14 from Kendal, 6 from Bowoess, 5 from Hawkahead, 8 from Coniston Waterht'nd, and 21 miles from Ulverstone. Windermere is the largest lake in England, being twelve miles long; about the head it is considerably more than a mile in breadth, and between the head and the islands, which are about halfway down the Water, it is seldom less than a mile ; but it narrows gradually from the islands to Newby Bridge, which lies at the foot of the lake. The lands on the immediate borders of Windermere are fertile and richly decorated with a profusion of fine trees, many of which are of stately growth, and so disposed, either by chance or intention, as to produce not only the grandest assemblages of massy woods, but sprinklings in every imaginable and tasteful variety. Some of the highest mountains in Cumberland, Westmorland, and Lancashire, are seen from Windermere, but at such a distance from it, as to be objects rather of beauty than sublimity. The mountains of Coniston, Langdale, Wastdale, Eskdale, and Borrowdale, possess much to interest the inquisitive observer, from his first sight of them, about nina miles from Kendal, and from thence all tlie way to Ambleside. The mountains of Wyburn, Grasmere, Rydal, Ambleside, Troutbeck, and Kentmere are fine objects, as observed from the Ferry House and ihe Station, and on the road from those places by High Wray to Ambleside. But the best general view of the mountains is from the lake, about a mile from Its head, and half way between side and side. The Low Wood Inn is not two miles from Ambleside ; and the field from which this view is taken is that adjoin- ing the Troutbeck road — the Low Wood Inn appearing between the eye and the water. The Langdale Pikes are fine objects from this station ; Bow Fell is on their left, and between it and the Pikes are other summits rising from Lang- dale, Borrowdale, and Wastdale : the Brathay and Clappersgate houses are observable immediately beyond the head of the lake. No. 7. ISLANDS ON WINDERMERE, FROM SKELGILL. This view of Windermere is from a field halfway between Lower Skelgill and Little Lowther, each of which places is about two miles from Ambleside ; to the former by High Skelgill, and to the latter by the Low Wood Inn : Little Lowther adjoins the road from Low Wood to Troutbeck. Bowness, Curwen Island, the Station, and Belle Grange are all seen from this place : the distant mountain is Gummershow, which is near the foot of the lake. No. 8. WINDERMERE, FROM BELMAN GROUND. Belman Ground is from one to two miles south of Bowness, and on the side of the hill above Storrs, the beautiful seat of John Bolton, Esq. Curwen Island, and nearly all the other islands, are seen from this stand, with the Ferry House and its opposite ferry point. The relative situation of Ambleside may here be observed, being near the meet- ing of the distant shores of the lake. The hill above the Ferry House is called Furness Fell ; and the extreme distance is composed of the mountains of Grasmere, Rydal, and Ambleside. No. 9. WINDERMERE, FROM THE FERRY. The Ferry House on Windermere is about eight miles from Ambleside, either by Bowness or High Wray ; it is something more than that distance from Ambleside to Hawkshead and Esthwaite Water. This view is taken near the place where the carriage-boat is moored : the high trees on the right rise from the island called Crowholm, beyond which is a little peep at Curwen Island ; and between that island and the Lancashire shore, which is upon the left, see one of the lily of the valley holms : the distance is the Rydal mountains. No. 10. KENTMERE HALL. The road from Kendal to Ambleside is through the village of Staveley ; but at Staveley the Ambleside and Kent- mere roads separate. Staveley is five miles from Kendal, and Kentmere Hall is nine. Kentmere is a rocky dale of great magnificence; and Chapel Hill, which lies at the head of Haws Water, is through Kentmere, about fifteen miles from Kendal. No. 11. SKELWITH FORCE. From No. 11 to No. 17, inclusive, the views are in Great and Little Langdale; and the vales of Langdale are tronsidered by some people of taste as the finest in the north of England. Skelwlth Force is about three miles from Ambleside; and the way to it is bypassing througli Clappersgate, leaving iBrathay Bridge on the left, to Skelwith Bridge, Which is scarcely a quarter of a mile below the Force. Langdale Pikes are seen in the distance. No. 12. LITTLE LANGDALE TARN. Pass Skelwith Bridge into Lancashire, and over high and pleasant ground to Colwith Bridge, which cross, and enter again into Westmorland, a little beyond which, on the left, is Colwith Force. Little Langdale Tarn is about a mile and lialf from Colwitli Bridge, and five miles from Ambleside. This lake divides Lancashire and Westmorland ; and the view, being taken from the latter county, is of the Coniston and Seathwaite mountains, which are in Lan- cashire. No. 13. BLEA TARN. From Little Langdale Tarn proceed to within about a quarter of a mile of Fell Foot, and ascend the road on the right to the gate at the top of tlie hill ; turn on tlie left diagonally towards the lake lo the place from which this view is taken: the road connecting the two vallies is here observable ; and the Lanjjdale Pikes, as seen from tliis place, are ■sublime objects. — Blea Tarn is about eight miles from Ambleside, 6 Id No. 14, LANGDALE PIKES, FROM OAK HOW. From Blea Tarn hy the farm-house called Wall End, it is about four miles to Oak How; but to Oak How by Langdale Chapel is about six miles, making the Langdale tour about eighteen miles. Pavey Ark, in the last range of distance in this subject, is over the fore-ground rock upon the right. No. 15. ROW HEAD. How Head is upon the opposite side of the Langdale valley to Oak How ; and in the distance are the Pikes. No. 16. SCENE NEAR LANGDALE CHAPEL. Langdale Chapel is about five miles from Ambleside ; and this view of the Pikes is from the river, not half a mik from the chapel. No. 17. LOUGHRIGG TARN, Is taken a little beyond the common gate, upon the road from Ambleside over Loughrigg Fell to Loughrigg Tarn, H No. 18. ■ ELTER WATER. This view of Elter Water is scarcely a quarterof amile from Skelwlth Foice (No.- 11), and taken from an enclo- sure on the south of Little Loughrigg, which is common land. No. 19. RYDAL WATER. From Pelter Bridge, which is near the first mile-stone on the road from Ambleside to Keswick, there is a horse- road, under Loughrigg Fell, by the farm-liouse called Coat How, and the lakes of Rydal and Grasmere, to Grasmere church 5 and this representation is from a field between the farm-house and the lake, about a mile and a quarter from Ambleside. The beautiful islands which adorn Rydal Water are here given; over which is seen the road to Keswick, ^j \i CrCwco tlie CCuHiiuH caiiea tne White Moss. Silver How, a mouniawi nsmg above Grasmere, is surmounted by Langdale Pikes. . • No. 20. GRASMERE, FROM LOUGHRIGG FELL, This view of Grasmere lake and island is from the side of the hill, not far from the craggy summit called Round Knott, and about half a mile west of Ptlter Siidgc. The Fells of Grasmere, and those bounding the two branches of Eascdale, are the distant objects. a 2 No. 21. GRASMETRE, FROM TO^VN END. Town End is something more than three miles from Ambleside, on the Keswick road. The church and villac;e of Grasmere are here in middle distance, above which is seen Allan Bank, the seat of George Crumpi, Esq, ; Helm Crag is the rocky summit in the extreme distance, on which are two points, of different sizes, called the Lion and the Lamb. This view is from a field near the first house in Grasmere, which from its situation is^ with propriety, called Town End. No. 22. GRASMERE, FROM TAIL END. It has been before observed that there is a horse road from Pelter Bridge to Grasmere Church,, by passing, on the right, Rydal and Grasmere Waters. On this road. Tail End is about three miles and three quarters from Ambleside, and one mile from Grasmere Church. This interesting view of the lake iind vale of Grasmere is from the room built by Francis Dukinfield Astley, Esq. in addition to the farm-house, and exhibits nearly the same middle-ground and distant materials as the preceding, only under a different arrangement. Helm Crag is here upon the left, and between it and the village Allan Bank. The mountain called Seat Sandal is in the middle of the extreme distance, between which and Helm Crag, at the intersec- tion of the sweeping lines, is Dunmail Raise, a considerable heap of stones, dividing Westmorland and Cumberland ; under which see the zig-zag road from Ambleside to Keswick: a process of Fairfield on the right, and Seat Sandal oa the left, rise above the road from. Grasmere by Grizcdale Tarn toPatterdaJe.. 13 No. 23. GOODY BRIDGE. The buildings in this scene are called by the name of a stone bridge which is down the river, and on the way to Easedale froai Grasmere Cliurch. To improve the composition, the stepping-stones have been, brought nearer the houses than they actually are. The distance is Helm Crag.^ I No. 24. EASEDALE, FROM BUTTERLTP HOW. Easedale Is a romantic and secluded valley branching out of Grasmere ; and Easedale Tarn, which will be found by following the frothy stream, is engulphed in precipitous mountains, with large rocks projecting from their sides. No. 25. LEATH'S WATER, FROM ARMBATH. Leath's Water, Thirl Mere, or, as it is most commonly called, Wyburn Water, is seen only to advantage from the western side ; and had the elegant Mrs. Radcliffe traversed that beautiful side, she would not have had occasion to say, *' this is a long and unadorned lake, having little else than walls of rocky fells starting from its margin." This almost unparalleled line, of four miles in length, is not accessible to carriages ; horses may travel it, and persons on foot with- out any considerable impediment.. This view of Leaih's Water is from a field near the house called Arrabath, The Great How, which is on th» B3 14 Dalehead side of tlic water, is here a principal feature, and is finely diversified with rock and wood : Naddle Fell, and behind it Wantlnvaite Crags, are seen in distance. Wlio would neglect to trace the western side of Wyburn Water for the contemplation of scenes like the one be- fore him, and for others equally deserving his attention ? Armbath is more than ten miles from Ambleside, and about six and a half from Koswick. No. 26. FOOT OF LEATH'S WATER, Leath's Water takes this name from the family of Leath, who have long resided at Dalehead, a venerable edifice on tlie banks of the lake. This view is from a part of the road immediately west of the foot of the lake ; and Helvellyn, as seen from it, is of a more interesting figure than is displayed by it from other situations ; its neighbouring summits being high, leave generally but little of the mountain to the view of the spectator, particularly from Coniston Water, W indermere, and Ulls Water. The woods on the opposite banks of the lake are the property of John Stanger Leath, Esq. and his house is seen amongst them. Between these woods and the high mountains winds the high road from Ambleside to Keswick; and the mile-stone six and ten is not far distant from the house, and immediately beyond it from the eye. No. 27. SOSKELU BRIDGE. Under Saddleback there Is a pretty and pleasantly situated village, called Threlkeld, four miles upon the Penrith road from Keswick. The road from Threlkeld to Ambleside leaves that to Keswick about the eleventh mile-stone j and 15 though there is nothing equal to the first sight of St. John's Vale, on tlie way from that first sight to Threlkeld, yet tlie whole of this line (which from its leaving the Keswick road is between four and five miles) has very much of tliat sort of scenery that will not fail to please the tourist. Saddleback is always fine as a distance ; and'the precipitous side screens occasionally close it in in every desired quantity. The vale, though rocky, is occasionally fertile and rich in vifood, with a variety of picturesque farm-houses and cottages. The river Greta (which rises in VVyburn Water, after passing Keswick empties itself into the river Derwent near the lake,) waters this cliarming valley, which occasionally reposing, doubles its neighbouring beauties by reflection. Soskeld Bridge is upon the Greta, about a mile below the Keswick road. Saddleback is in distance. No. 28. COTTAGE IN ST. JOHN'S VALE. This building is a little lower down the valley than Soskeld Bridge. ' No. 29. DERWENT WATER, FROM CASTLERIGG. From the fifteentli mile-stone, on the road from Ambleside to Keswick, to the bottom of the liill, there are three roads ; the original is bounded by the enclosures, the middle is less steep, and tlie eastern road makes a large bow, by which tlie ascent for carriages is rendered easier. This view of Derwent Water is from the old road. Castle Hill and Brow Top are seen between the eye and the lake, and just over it Derwent Bank, with the woods above Silver Hill, the property of Lord William Gordon ; Swinside, on the left, is succeeded by Barrow; Grizedale Pike is the high distant summit ; Grasmere and VVhiulatter, which are still more distant, close the scene. I^ KESWICK. Keswicfc, though a small town, is the largest among the lakes : it is compactly built, consisting principally of one street, which runs from north to south ; two smaller ones branch from it, one towards Penrith, and the other towards Borrowdale. Keswick is situated upon the river Greta, and' about halfa mile from Derwent Water. Keswick is 16" miles from Ambleside, 2t from Whitehaven, 18 from Penrith, and 21 from the Inn at Patterdale; Derwent Water is about three miles long, and its greatest breadth not more than a mile and a half; its promonto- ries, which stretch far into the water, are sometimes bold-and rugged : a give-and-take line would make this lake nearly elliptical. More than ore-half of the immediate boundary of the lake is rich meadow and pasture ground, profusely deco- rated with massy groups and scatterings of trees. The Fells above Barrow common rise with majestic grandeur from the water. Falcon Crag and Eve Crag are prodigious masses of rock, and reach nearly the summit of the mountain. From this place, all the way to Grange, which lies at the head of the lake, the scenery is chiefly of that bold character already described at Barrow. Castle Crag and Grange Fell not being high, the stately summits of the Borrowdale and Wastdale mountains are fortunately seen beyond them. Catt Bells, on the opposite side of the lake, advance boldly from it ; but their surfaces being of green turf and loose shiver, are tamer in appearance than the rugged rocks of Barrow. The top of Skiddaw in a straight line from Derwent Water is between three and four miles. Skiddaw at a dis- 17 tance appears smooth and verdant ; and several variously-elevated eminences, being all united by Hogarthian curves, give it an easy, elegant, and uncommon appearance, as seen from every part of the valley. Skiddaw lias been called a generous Lord, and the Fells of Borrowdale frowning and haughty Tyrants. Are frowning and haughty tyrants to be preferred to generous lords? Man in his feelings towards man has now pretty well made up his mind on that head j but in his choice ef mountains probably he may like the tyrant best. No. 30. HEAD OF DERWENT WATER. This view of the Borrowdale mountains is near the entrance upon Barrow common. A fine feature is the water- fall at Lowdore. Grange Crag, Castle Crag, and Goat Crag are succeeded, though at a great distance, by the lofty mountain Schofell, which stands at the head of Wast Waterb No. 31. - -T - DERWENT WATER AND FASSENTHWAITE. From the last place walk up the side of the hill, on the skirts of the wood, so far as to see the lake of Bassenthwaite appear in an agreeable quantity over Derwent Water; Beyond the first bay of the lake are seen in succession the lands of Stable Hills, Lord's Island, Friar Crag, Vicar's Island (late Pocklington's Island), and the promontory (but why, not known to the writer) called isthmus: several seats and the church of Crosthwaite (Keswick church) are seen upon the enclosed land connecting the two lakes : Dodd, a hill resembling Latrigg, and which is a part of Skiddaw, rises from the head of Bassenthwaite Water : the mouniains of Braithwaite and Thornthwaite are seen upon the other side j the gentle elevations stretching beyond the foot of Bas- senthwaite close this^long line of perspective,. 18 . ' No. 32. DERWENT WATER, FROM LOWDORE. Those who wish to see Derwent Water with Skiddaw for its back-ground, through a magnificent vista of rocks,, will ascend to the top of Lowdore Waterfall ; and the safest way is to proceed from the public-house at Lowdore to the foot-road leading to Watenlath, which leaves the Grange road a little short of the farm-house called High Lowdore j the road zig-zags the mountain's side, which pursue, till Skiddaw from it is seen through the chasm, and afterwards Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite : descend from this part of the road to the angle of the river, and follow its course a short distance, and the view here given will present itself in nature. Vicar's Island and Croithwalte Church are seen frojlJ this place. No. 33. LOWDORE WATERFALL. Lowdore is three miles from Keswick. The waterfall ot i.owuoic « uo. .. ^ - ^, ^^^^ m « .luimrcu w those who visit the lakes ; for it is rarely so full as to exhibit one unbroken sheet of water; but when so, it is, with its accompaniments, sublimely picturesque from many points of view. The rocks are fine, and worth studying in any season ; some are almost lost in wood, whilst others tower their grisly heads to an enormous height : one of them rises from the margin of the waterfall, and is the grandest object of the kind in the whole circumference of the valley; and few, unless led to expect water, would be disappointed with the scene before them. The bridge here given is over the river below the waterfall. Proceed by the Mill to a grassy bank skirted with wood, and see this stupendous chasm, through wliich, even in i9 ■fliy weather, k issued a considerable quantity of water ; Lut the stones engorged by it, being enormous in magnitude, divide the stream, and obscure it from the eye : were its course diverted and conducted on the western side of the gulf, 'to that side of the rock which is nearest the mill, it would tumble in one grand unbroken sheet down to the channel below, and thereby be rendered the most splendid waterfall among the lakes. No. 34. 1 BOWDER STONE. Bowder Stone is a mile from Grange, and five miles from Keswick: the road from the Bridge to the Stone is under Grange Fell on the left, and the river Derwent on the right ; and displays, in rugged grandeur, every variety of com- position capable of being produced from rocks and mountains. Mr. Pocklington, who is now the proprietor of Bowder Stone, has pulled down the walls with which it was here- tofore encumbered, and thereby rendered it an excellent painter's study. No, 35. EAGLE CRAG, NEAR STONETHWAITE. By Bowder Stone it is six miles from Kesvvick to Rostliwaite, and seven to Stonethwaite ; and that part of the river from which this view is taken is about a mile more — making the distance from Keswick eight miles, Langstre is the oarae of the valley on the right of Eagle Crag, and Greenup of that upon the left. St) No. 36; LANGTHWAITE BRIDGE. The source of the stream passing under.this bridge is in Sprinkling Tarn, which descending the mountain Sprinlt- ling, unites itself with Sty Head Tarn, and having reached the valley, winds between the village of Seathv/aite and the black lead mines to Lan^thwaite Bridge, which i& a quarter of a.mile from Rosthwaite. ' , No. 37. STOCKLEY BRIDGE. This is the last bridge in Borrowdale, on the road from Rosthwaite to Wastdale Head, and it is over a gill tumbling down the southern side of the mountain Sprinkling, which mountain is the back-ground of this scene. No. 38. ^ HONISTER CRAG. A morning's ride from Keswick, presenting many extraordinary changes, is "by passing Xiowdore and Bowder Stone to Rostiiwaire, and from Rosthwaite by Seat Oiler, under Honlster Crag in Gatesgarthdale, to Buttermere, and from Buttermere returning through the vale of Newlands to Keswick — a round of about 22 miles. This view of Honister Crag is.from the stream which passesirom the head of Gatesgarthdale to Buttermere, and below the road a little after its having left the summit of the pass. Honister Crag, almost perpendicular, seems, from the bottom of the valley, to overhang its base, and is a precipice of extraordinary magnificeace: but from this rugged froHt is derived a slate as smooth and valuable as any other in the island. No. 39. CRUMMOCK WATER AND BUTTERMERE. The horse-road to the Inn at Buttermere is eight miles and a half from Keswick, through the vale of Newlands ; "but the carriage-road is part of the way on the Cocker^iouth road, over Whinlatter, and through a part of the vale of Lorton, by Crummock Water to the Inn at Buttermere, which is somewhat more than fourteen miles. The Inn at Scale Hill (which is about lialf a mile from the outlet of Crummock Water and eleven miles from Keswick), and the Inn at Buttermere, are both of them excellent stationary places from which to see Buttermere, Crummock W^ater, Lows Water, and Ennerdale Water. Tiie Inn at Buttermere lies at about an equal distance from the two lakes of Butter- mere and Crummock ; and the lofty mountains round the valley rise in sublime grandeur. Honister Crag, at the Borrowdale end of tbe valley, is a steep high rock. The four conical-topped mountains, High Pike, High Steel, High Crag, and Red Pike, are on the western side of the lake of Buttermere, and Robinson on the eastern. The river connecting Buttermere and Crummock Waters runs at the feet of the western mountains, and is about half a mile long : tlie Inn is at tlie bottom of the Keswick road, on the eastern side of t"he vale ; and the intermediate grounds are of sweet pasturage, with woods elegantly distributed over it. Melbreak skirts the western, and Rannerdale Knott, Grasmire, and Whiteside, the eastern side of Crummock Water. This view of the two lakes is taken on the side of Melbreak, about two or three hundred yards above a little rocky promontory called Ling Crag. The fertile bottom separating Crummock Water and Buttermere is here a charming feature, and is finely contrasted by the mountains: the castle-like elevation in the distance is Honister Crag. 22t No. 40. CRUMMOCK WATER. Hed Pike here towers its conical summit proudly above its neighbours, and the still more distant Buttermere mountains. Rannerdale is seen upon the left from this place, which isi-jn the enclosures near Lingthwaite, and not a mile from the foot of the lake. No. 41. LOW'S WATER. Low's Water is the smallest of the three lakes of Buttermere, Crurnmock, and Low's Water. The hills on the east, west, and north sides of Low's Water rise gently from it. The low grounds are pleasantly ornamented with meadows, out of which rise groupes of wood and single trees, alone and in the hedge-rows. Melbreak, Whiteside, Grasmire, Rannerdale Knott, and Honister Crag are fine objects when seen from the head of Low's Water. The foot of Low's Water is about half a mile from the foot of Crurnmock Water, and not a mile from the Inn at Scale Fill!. This view of Low's Water is from the western side of the lake, and close by a little stream, which not half a mile from this place passed between the rocks, producing thereby a beautiful waterfall : the enclosures appearing over the •water lie between this lake and Crurnmock Water; behind which are seen the mountains Grasmire and Whiteside. No. 42. ENNERDALE WATER. Eanerdale Water may be visited by foot or hoj-sejjien from the Inn at Butterajere, by lieeping the road down t]a« S5 . ._ . meadows, and passing Scale Force on the left, to a little lake called Fluttering Tarn, which must likewise be kept on the left. This road, though of considerable ascent, is not over the highest part of the mountain. After having gained the Tarn, the traveller will, from the north-east, presently see Ennerdale Water, which is by many thought to be an interesting lake. From the Inn at Scale Hill the carriage-road lies on the eastern side of Low's Water through Lam-- pleugh ; but the horse and foot-road is between Crummock Water and Low's Water ; afterwards skirt Melbreak, wliich keep on the left for some time ; then on the right turn up the side of the hill to Fluttering Tarn, before spoken of. Tlie best views of this lake are about one mile east of the foot; this is enclosed ground, and the grouped and single trees are picturesque, and as=!Ociate well in composition witii the distances: the present view is taken out of these grounds. Bonus Knott, a mountain mass of rugged rock, is the side screen on the left; but this is contrasted by the western boundary, which, excepting at Angling Stone, is rather smooth and uniform in its height all the way to the head of tlie lake.. Amongst the distant mountains are the Pillar and the Steeple,- No. 43^ WAST WATER. Wast Water Is seen to the greatest advantage by travelling first to the foot, and then up the eastern side to the head. The head of the kke, in a stiaight line, is about fourteen miles north-west of Ambleside; but its approach from Ambleside to Keswick is either difficult or circuitiius. The best pedestrian road from Ambleside to tlie foot of Wast Water Is over Hardknott and Vrrynoso, and through the vale of Esk, by Santon Bridge to Nether Wastdalc, wliich is about 22 miles ; or leavinir Eskdale earlier, cross A^^atter- dale, the Screes end, and Latterbarrow, at half a mile from the foot of the lake, either by the public-house, or to the nearest part of the road leading to the lake ; by this route the distance from Ambleside is about 20 miles. c a. 24 From NetTier Wastdale travel the side of the lake, and by Wastdale Head up the side of Gahle to the Sty; and leaving Sty Head Tarn, Sprinkling Tarn, and Angle Tarn, all on the left hand, drop down through the vale of Langdale to Ambleside. Or from Sty Head, leaving Sty Head Tarn upon the riglit, pass through Scathwaite, Rosthwaite (where there is an ale-house), and Stonethwaite ; and keeping Eagle Crag upon the right, aseend a steep hill, (the ascent is called Greenup,) from the top of which, by proceeding some time south-cast, come to the head of Easedale, descend into the valley, and passing Grasmere Church return to Ambleside. For those who wish to return to Keswick from Wast Water, the way is from Rosthwaite, by Bowder Stone and I^owdore, to Keswick. The horse-road from Ambleside is (i\ er Hardknott and Wrynose to Santon Bridge, as before, and by the above described pedestrian route to Rostlnvaite ; from which proceed, as before, to Keswick, and back to Ambleside. Or when at Rosthwaite, pass through Stonethwaite, and up the valley called Langstre to the Stake, which cross, to Langdale Head, and from Langdale Head to Ambleside. The carriage-road from Ambleside is through Coniston, eight miles, Broughton, nine more, and over BIrker Fell (a road somewhat rugged), by Santon Bridge to Nether Wastdale, which is this way from Ambleside about thirty-five miles; or from Broughton to Nether Wastdale, (enquire at Broughton about the tides,) by Bootle, Ravenglass, or by Muncaster. As such who take this tour in a carriage must not only approach but return from the lake through Nether Wastdale, they will proceed up its side as far only as they find it pleasant : this last line from Ambleside is about forty miles. From Nether Wastdale pass through Gosforth to Calder Bridge, Egermont, Lampleugh, and by Scale Hill to Keswick— distance thirty-four miles. Or from Nether Wastdale to Whitehaven by Calder Bridge and Egermont, and from Whitehaven to Keswick: the distance from Nether Wastdale by Whitehaven to Keswick is forty-one miles. 25 The most extended circuit for a carriage from Ambleside or Keswick to see Wast Water is about eighty miles; the shortest, over Birker Fell and by Scale Hill, aiwut seventy ; and that by Bootle and Scale Hill, seventy-five miles. The road on foot or on horsoback from Keswick to Wast Water is by the Inn at Buttermere, Scale Force (which leave on the left), and over the mountains by Fluttering Tarn to Ennerdale Water, Ennerdale Bridge, Calder Bridge and Abbey, Gotforth, Nether Wastdale, V^^astdale Head, Sly Head Tarn, Seathwaite, llosthwaite, and Bowder Stone to Keswick; this round is about fifty miles r the resting place is at Calder Bridge, where there are two good inns, and near them a beautiful abbey. Should the Scale Force road' be objected to for horses, the tour may be made by Scale Hill, Low's Water, and Lampleugh, meeting the road first spoken of at Ennerdale Bridge. As this exeursion will cost two days, the writer here takes the liberty to advise the traveller to see Wast Water on the second day rather than the first, by vvhieh he will have the advantage of passing from the foot to the head of the lake, and see in succession some of the grandest scenes in England, all which he will have upon his back should he commence his tour by Borrowdale rather than by Buttermere or Scale Hill. Wast Water is three miles long, and about three-quarters of a mile over in the broadest part; on the Screes, or eastern side, it is of a tolerably straight line ; but tlie opposite shores are irregular, and appear beautifully embayed when seen from the higher grounds: the road is up the western side of the lake, often on its margin, and seldom more than one hundred yards from it. This view shews the junction of the lake and the Screes about the shivering part of the mountain ; the enclosures at the foot of the water at Crook, and those at Wastdale Head, vary the scene, by their contrast to the rest of the rude materials which compose it. Yewbarrow, Kirk Fell, and Gable (the last of which is the most remote object) are all seen in distance. G3 No. 44. WAST WATER, FROM THE ROAD. Tlie views on tlie travelled side of the lake certainly deserve great attention ; and the one here given is about a mile from its foot. Tiie roadj which is cf a fine elevation above the water, is seen meandering among the rocks to a good distance, Yewbarrow lies on the left ; part of the Screes are on the right ; Wastdale head, at the end of the lake, by its enclosures serves as a scale whereby to judge of the vastness of the mountains; and over them is Great Gable, so called from its resemblance to the roof of a Louse. Between Gable and Yewbarrow is seen a part of Kirk Fell,, and between Gable and the Screes, Lingmell. No. 45,. SCHOFELL ON WAST WATER. Schofell, with the adjoining part of the Screes, is thus viewed from a point between the road and the lake, ahouS- half way between its foot and head. No. 4G; GOLDRILL CRAG. Goldrill Crag is upon the river Dudden. The river Dudden crosses the horse and foot road to Wast Water at' Cockley Beck, which is ten miles from Ambleside over Wrynose. Goldrill Crag is two miles down the river, being la miles from Ambleside and about 14 miles from the foot of Wast Water. The river Dudden divides Lancashire and Cumberland, from the county stones on Wrynose to its junction with the. Irish Sea; consequently the scene before us is in both counties. This view is up the river: the trees are in Lancashire, and Goldrill Crag, which is on the left, is in CumbeilancJ, i7 No. 47. WALLOWBARROW CRAG. Wallowbarrow Crag is upon the river Dudden,not far from Seathwaite Chapel, and about two miles below GoldrlU Crag. Either by Cockley Beck or over VValna Scar,,the distance from Seathwaite Chapel to Ambleside is fourteen miles." No. 48. BROTHER WATER. The road to Ulls Water from Ambleside, which is by Brother IVater, is wild and mountainous ; the aseent' from Ambleside is steep, with little vaiiation to the top of Kirkstone. One way from Low Wood to Ulls Water is by Amble- side, the other is by TroutJ)eck, both roads meeting on the summit of the hill; near which, on the left, is a cubical sort of stone, called Kirkstone, which gives name to the pass. The v'ews round Brotlier Water are sublime ; the vale is fertile, and cloathed in wood, which diminishes in quan- tity as it ascends the mountains, and is generally in excellent distribution. This view of Brother, which is between six and seven miles from Ambleside, is from the enclosures on the right, after having descended from Kirkstone, and not half a mile shoitof the lake. Place FelUs in the distance, ' ■ No. 49; " ' WOODEN BRIDGE IN HARTS HOPE. "Under Dove Crag, a stupendous rock three miles west of Brother Water, runs a stream, which after a steep descent 28 serpentines sweetly down the vale, amidst rich assemblages of beautiful trees, by Hartshope Hall (a picturesque oIS^ farm-house) to Brother Water. The road from Ambleside to Ulls Water runs close to Brother Water, and the mountain rises from it on the right in a \'ery bold style, as may be seen from the last subject. At Brother Water the valley is scarcely half a mile across;, and the western side of the lake is bounded by a hill, which rises steeply from it. There is a road from Hartshope Hall to Ulls Water, which on the banks of Brother Water is through a wood of' fine oaks, out of which tlie magnificent mountains of Hartshope rise in a style of superior granaeur. This bridge is over the little river just mentioned, and on the footway from the Hall to the travelled side of the- valley. In this representation Dove Crag is the distance, and appears just over the bridge. No. 50,. GRIZEDALE BRIDGE. From Brother Water to the Inn at Patterdale the road is good, and winds pleasantly amongst trees, affording now and then a glimpse at the surrounding country. The inn at Patterdale is ten miles from Ambleside, twenty-one from Keswick, fourteen from Penrith, and half a mile from Ulls Water. Grizedale Bridge is over the brook which runs out of Grizedale by Patterdale Hall, and is distant from the Ina about half a mile upon the Penrith road. The dfstance is- Place Fell. The head of Ulls Water lies south-west of its foot; the lake is of an irregular figirre, and composed of three- unequal reaches, the middle of which is somewhat larger than the northern one ; the shortest is seen from the Inn at Patterdale, and not half the, length of either of the others. Ulls Water is less uoequal in its breadth than the other 29^ lakes; it is in many places not more tlian haU'a mile across, biU seldom exceeds three quarters ; it is less tlian Winder- II, ere, but l;irger Irian the rest of the English lakes- Ulls Water rks engulphed at the feet of majestic mountains, which rise sublimely from the valley: Place Fell descends shiveriiig into the lake, almost perpendicularly, from a vast height ; it skiits the lake from Birkfell Force hi,"-her than its head. The opposite mountains are less uniform, their summits being removed to various and greater distances from the water, and tiie rocks project ftom their surfaces in a bold and imposing manner. Were these mountains divested of wood, they would exhibita vastness and sublimity rivalled only by those of Wast Water. Nothing can exceed the dresses and decorations of this sublimity ; the whole space fronr Gowbarrow to the Inn at Patterdale is one rich.scene of vegetation ; oak, ash, birch, alder, and other trees of stately growth, and in the wildest luxuriance, undulating and impending over the rocky protuberances every where starting from, the mountains, render this the loveliest ride among the lakes. The movmtains on the immediate head' of Ulls Water are not so steep as those which border it half way down, hut they are rich in wood: St. Sunday, or St. Sundian Crag, swells sublimely above them, and is a fine object from many parts of the valley. From Gowbarrow on one side, and Place Fell on the other side of the lake, the mountains gradufilly diminish into little hills, and from a gigantic ruggedness into a soft and verdant meadow and pasturage. Though t-here is somethinggood in every part of Ulls Water, yet the finest scenes lie between Lyulpli'sTo\^er and the Inn at Patterdale; and the best method of seeing this desirable part is to take a boat at the head of the hike and passing the ii-lands called Cherry-holm and Wall-holm, come within sight of Stybarrow Crag, which is a fine object in various distances; land near the Crag; and widk about half a mile to the farm-house called Glen Coin, occasionally turning round to admire the local beauties of the scenery. Having got upon that pleasant craggy summit, from which tile road winds suddenly and steeply down to the lake turn to the leftby an oak, out of which sj-rings a birch tree, and pass the nearest way to Glen Coin. ■30 No. 51. GLEN COIN. Glen Coin is a farm-house belonging to his Grace the Duke of Norfolk. It is two or three hundred yards out of the road from the Inn at Patterdale to Lyulph's Tower, and between two and three miles from the former place. Should the party have no partiality for rude buildings, he may proceed, without landing at Stybarrow, to the island called House Holm, or from Glen Coin to House Holm: the view from House Holm is exquisite. The splendid dis- play of wood which feathers from the tops of the mountains on the right hand to the margin of the lake, is no where equalled in the north of England. Proceed from the island to the Tower. Lyulph's Tower, which is the property of the Duke of Norfolk, stands a little above the road, and in that part of Gowbarrow which exhibits one of the finest views of the lake. Lyulph's Tower is an excellent object from all parts where it can be seen, and situate upon that nice degree of elevation from which the lines of the lake appear in a most painter-like arrangenaent. St. Sunday Crag, in the extreme distance, rears his head high above his neighbours ; from which, both ways, see a visible horizon, the most correctly picturesque. Place Fell is rocky, and unadorned with wood, unless about that part of the water seen beyond Silvery Point; but the opposite shores are in high contrast to Place Fell: their swelling sides are richly ornamented with trees, which standing on the water's brink in close array, gradually soften as they rise and melt into the mountain. The fore-ground, or rather the middle-ground, is likewise agreeably diversified with wood. - — The park is well stocked with deer, whose elegant forms and wild gestures are in unison with the surrounding scene^ No. 52, ULLS WATER, FROM GOWBARROW. The road from Lyulph's Tower to Keswick, through Matterdale and the Patterdale road, separate in the •old park, near the gate which divides those parks ; and this view is from the Matterdale road — that also to Patterdale appears. Return to the boat, and cross the lake at riglit angles ; and having landed and gained the horse-road to Patterdale, look to the opposite side of the lake on that grand display of scenery arising from Glen Coin and Glenridden. Silvery Point, which is a part of Place Fell, stretches far into the lake, and wonderfully relieves this charming distance by thfe'- boldness of the contrast. The finest views on Ulls Water are upon this road, and from several places between it and the water; and the ttrtored eye will discover, in a variety of distances, when combined with the rocky fore-grounds, a series of pictures perhaps niore perfect in their kind than can be found on any other line of the same length in the north of England. No. 53. TFLLS WATER HEAD. when the spectator is oppositeto Honse Holm, and in such a situation that a line drawn from his eye to the stimmit -of St. Sunday Crag will leave the island calledLing Holm something on the left of that line, he has then, in the opinion of the writer, the best view upon the lake. The beautiful line of shore is enlivened by a few buildings, which though of themselves large, are in comparison with other objects small. The house not long ago erected by the Rev. Henry Askew is on the right, and nearly on the extremity of the northern side of the picture. The wooded promontory which stands on the north side of the Purse Bay, is seen about half a mile from the eye on the other side ; at the head of the lake observe Patterdale Hall, the seat of John Mouncey, Esq.; above the hall, in swelling majesty, stands St, Sunday Crag, which, with the mountains of Grizedale and Glenridden, close this admirable scene. From this place keep the edge of the bank about half a mile, or till tlje island called Wall iiokn appears a little to the right of Mr. Askew's house, and that point is 32 No. 54, ULLS WATER, LOOKING INTO GLENRIDDEN. Mr. Askew's house, which hortlers the lake, is in GlenrJdden, a valley charmingly spread over with wooded enclo- sures. Black Crag and GlenriddenDodd, upon the right, shew their shivery and precipitous frontsj and parts of Hel- vellyn, called Nab End and Blea Cove, appear in the last distance. From this statioQ proceed till within about two hundred yards of the Purse Bay to No. 55, PURSE BAY, ON ULLS ^VATEIL This exquisite combination of materials is another fine subject, not only for the exercise and gratification of the eye, but for the pencil. — Having bestowed on this extraordinary scene a due portion of attention, re-ascend the hill, and by keeping the semicircular wall, pass by the hoube called Blea Wyke to the Purse Bay, and from the eastern side of it look again upon the Grizedale mountains, rendered additionally valuable by the bold promontory on the right, and those charming middle-grounds stretching each way from the Hall : here take the boat to its mooring place, and retura t© the Inn, or on foot by the head of the lake over Goldrili Bridge, after haying passed No. 56, ULLS WATER, LOOKING TOWARDS GRIZEDALE. This view is taken within the enclosures, and near a ruined building, which, with the lands about ii, were some tiine ago purchased by a celebrated .artist, as cowmandin^ some of the finest vjevYS upon tjie lake. 33 From the Inn at Patterdale, which is at tlie head of Ulls Water, to the Inn at Powley Bridge at its foot, it is ten miles: Powley Bridge is five miles from Penrith, and seven miles north of the foot of Haws Water. No. 57. BROUGHAM CASTLE, Is finely situated upon the river Eamont, about one mile from Penrith on the new road, and two miles upon the old road ; it is a ruin deservedly admired for its beauty, and worthy an artist's attention. . No. 58, ASKHAM CHURCH. Askham Church is delightfully situated on the western banks of the river Lowther; and the bridge over that river,' at the end of the village of Askham, is seen beyond the church : the vicarage, which commands a fine view of the river, adjoins the churchyard. Lowther rectory appears on the left of the church. On the high wooded bank which runs on the western side of the Lowther, is a fine walk among the trees, called the Rash, which is one of the beautiful appendages to the domains at Lov/ther. No. 59. HAWS WATER. Haws Water is three miles long, and generally about half a mile across; a richly wooded promontory, which from the lower grounds appears to cut the lake in two, shoots boldly towards the opposite shores, and here it Is scarcely more E S'4 tlian ttvo or three liundred yards in breadth. Mesand with its school stands near this promontory ; on the side of which tuslies, in wild impetuosity, Fordingdale Beck, a stream abounding in picturesque waterfalls. Branstrce, Harter Fell, Riggendale, High Street, Kidstay, and Whelter, are all grand mountains lying at the head of the lake: but this grandeur is diminished towards its foot ; and the country below the outlet of the lake is com- posed of modest and easy eminences, which are pleasantly covered with wood all the way to Lowther and Askham. Haws Water, either as a Salvator or a Claude, has great attractions; its magnificence may be appreciated by passing from the foot to the head of the lake, and its delicate beauties by looking down it. Haws Water is fine from the carriage-road, but infinitely less so than from a horse-road upon the common, some- what above the carriage-road ; it is likewise good from many stands in the enclosures between the higher road and the water. This view of the lake is from the fields between its outlet and Fordingdale Beck, and includes the upper and the lower lakes. No. 60. HAWS WATER, FROM FORDINGDALE BECK. Harter Fell is a principal object in the scene before us, under which is the lower end of Riggendale, and at its foot Xhapel Hill, with all the pleasant accompaniments of wood. This view is taken from the upper road, just after its having passed Fordingdale Beck, on the way to the head of the lake. The river feeding the lake at its head is bounded by flat lands; but the undulating surfaces between this flat and the summits of the circumjacent mountains being sprinkled in a luxuriant wildness with various sorts of trees, is on all hands a splendid treat for the lover and the artist.
