PR E FA C E TO THE FIRST EDITION ALTHOUGH numerous Road-Books have from time to time appeared before the public, each professing to excel its pre- decessor, yet it was still a subject of complaint that there was not one compact in its form, and lucid in its arrange- ment,--that those hitherto published were either too bulky or too confused, that they either contained much more or much less than the Traveller required. It has been the Editor’s aim, in preparing this volume, to take a middle course; and while he has endeavoured, on the one hand, to avoid all prolix details respecting uninteresting objects, lie trusts that, on the other hand, he has not omitted to motice any town, village, or nobleman’s seat, worthy the attention of the intelligent Traveller. In arranging the Roads, he has followed the plan pur- sued by M. Reichard in his celebrated Itineraries of the Continent, by which method the inconvenience of frequent reference is in a great measure avoided, and the route rem- dered perfectly intelligible on the first inspection. The descriptions of many of the places have been written from the Editor’s own observations, and for the account of others he is indebted to friends whose assistance he begs to ac- knowledge with gratitude. That his performance is fault- less the Editor is not presumptuous enough to suppose ; errors in such a work are unavoidable, and he will feel obliged by any corrections, addressed to him at the Publisher’s, A 2 P. R. E. F. A C E TO THE FIFTH EDITION. THE rapid sale of Four Editions of this Work, and the favourable notices with which it has been honoured, are the best evidence of its merits and utility. The Editor, on a former occasion, whilst carefully revising the whole, re- arranged the Cross Roads on an improved plan, and intro- duced various Pleasure Tours to the most picturesque parts of the country. A new feature has been added to the Work, by giving the number of Members returned to Parliament by the various cities and towns; and by specifying, where the populations are given, the mature of the places alluded to, signifying whether the amount is that of a single town or of an entire parish, comprising a variety of townships, hamlets, &c. In this Edition he has again endeavoured to keep pace with the spirit of improvement discernible in every part of the kingdom; yet notwithstanding the numerous additions, it has been found possible, by typical arrangements, to pre- sent a greater portion of matter in the same compass. It has been the object of the Editor to gild the monotony of mere topography with the more attractive qualities of delineation, and whilst accurately laying down the ground- work of locality to strew a few roses over the otherwise un- inviting path. He is aware that, owing to the character of the work, the graces of poetical description are but “few and far between,” and that many objects have been dis- missed with a notice far below their deserts. This is a A 3 vi PREFACE. defect necessarily resulting from the wish to accommodate the traveller with a Pocket Itinerary. Still whilst a rhapsodical collection of wonders would be an insult to the traveller, a mere enumeration of names and miles would be an injustice to the beauties of this Kingdom; and as we guide with fidelity the vehicular, equestrian, or pedestrian progress of the traveller, we trust also that we shall be allowed to direct him to the contempla- tion of the varied beauties of England and Wales. Though it has been impossible to expatiate on the charms that have arrested admiration at each step, it is to be hoped that the reader will not be disappointed with our cursory view of the splendid mansions and domains of the nobility and gentry, of the spots endeared by historical or poetical asso- ciations, and the thousand wonders resulting from the un- equalled spirit of industry which has raised the giant fabric of the United Kingdom, Those who may wish for a more detailed account of the immediate neighbourhood of the Metropolis than the plau of this work would allow, are referred to Leigh's New Picture of London, which contains, besides descriptions of the environs, a faithful map of the neighbouring counties. - - – - (ſ ſºſº/32- 2 / ?/ - %, 2T == of Tes - º --. º - sº X - º º --- (ºl - - º - -- º * N Ǻ º- & Q º zº- º º $2 Q º, —- º 2- 2/ ºs ontoon - , - - - --~ - %// // M.

Among the buildings may be noticed the Episcopal Palace, which was the residence of George III. and his Queen during their stay at Worcester, in 1788: Edgar's Tower, a curious and well-preserved specimen of antiquity, on the front of which are statues of King Edgar and his queens; the Market Place, a handsome and commodious structure, erected in 1804; the Guildhall, a handsome brick edifice, built by Mr. White, a native artist, contain- ing several good portraits; the County Prison, the City Prison, and the Infirmary. Worcester has also a Theatre, a Race Ground, with an elegant stand, a public Subscription Library, and numerous Hospitals, and other Charitable Institutions. It carries on an extensive trade, particularly in hops, by means of the Severn and its canal; but its principal manufactures are gloves and porcelain, for the excellence of which it has long been famed. The curious traveller should not omit to visit the porcelain works of Messrs. Flight and Barr, in Palace Row, or those of Messrs. Chamberlain, near the Cathedral, where the whole process of manufacture may be seen. Worcester was the birth-place of Lord Somers, and is celebrated for the defeat of Charles II. by Cromwell, in 1651. In the vicinity is Glanusk Park, the seat of Joseph Bailey, Esq. . - Pop. 18,610.

The clothing business also employs a considerable number of the inhabitants. The streets in the ancient part of the town are narrow, and the stranger will, no doubt, be amazed at the grotesque carvings with which many of the old timber and plaster houses are adorned: there are, however, many good modern brick buildings. The principal objects worthy of notice are the Church, a magnificent but irregular Gothic structure, rebuilt at the commencement of the last century, and adorned with an altar-piece of the Last Supper, by Rubens; the Town Hall, or Butter Cross, as it is generally called, a singular building of timber and plaster, erected about 1633; the Market-house, a meat edifice of the Tuscan order; the Gaol, built about 1750; and the House of Industry, which is remarkable as having been part of a priory.

The principal object deserving notice is the Pavi- lion, a singular but splendidly furnished palace, erected by George IV, as a summer residence. The stables adjoin- ing it are built in the Moorish style, and are far superior to any other establishment of the kind in England. St. Peter’s, or the New Church, at the entrance of the town, is an elegant Gothic edifice, erected in 1824, from designs by Mr. Cooper. At the N.W. extremity of the town is the Old Church, containing a font brought from Normandy in the time of William I. In the churchyard is a monument in memory of Mrs. Crouch the actress; and near the chancel-door is another over the remains of Captain Tettersell, who com- manded the vessel which conveyed Charles II. to France, after the battle of Worcester. There is also a tombstone in memory of Phoebe Hessel, who served in the army as a private soldier. This cemetery commands a fine view of the town. St. Mary’s Chapel, in St. James's Street, is a handsome edifice of the Doric order, built in 1827, from designs by Mr. Wilds. The visiter should also notice the Steyne, a charming lawn, surrounded, except on the side towards the sea, by houses, and adorned with a statue of George IV., by Chantrey; the Marine Parade, extending along the E. cliff, likewise much frequented as a promenade; the Chain Pier, erected in 1823, from designs by Capt. Brown, for the accommodation of persons embarking and disembarking; the Theatre, where the London actors often perform ; the New Market, and the Custom House, both built in 1830 ; the Chapels erected by Mr. Kemp and Mr. Faithful, both handsome buildings; the Unitarian Chapel, likewise a handsome edifice ; the Royal Chapel, attached to the Pavilion; and the Sussex County Hospital, between Prighton and Kemp Town. Brighton also possesses several Meeting Houses; a Roman Catholic Chapel; a Jew’s Synagogue ; several Charitable Institutions; a meat Market-house; cold, hot, shampooing, and shower baths, besides bathing-machines; 58 No. 22.

It employs a great num- ber of hands in the herring and mackerel fishery, and is one of the places of embarkation for France; steam vessels going regularly once or twice a week during the summer to Dieppe. The Upper and Lower Esplanades by Brunswick Ter- race are agreeable promenades. Half a mile W. of the Old Church is a chalybeate spring, the waters of which have been found efficacious in cases of debility and indigestion. There is also an esta- blishment called the German Spa, where fictitious mineral waters, resembling the springs at Spa, Pyrmont, &c., are prepared ; it is situated at the entrance of the New Park, and has a large pump-room. On the road towards Lewes are spacious Public Gardens, where fireworks are occa- sionally exhibited; and a little behind them are Cavalry Barracks, erected in 1795. - About a mile from the town is a fine Race-ground, with a convenient stand for the spectators; and five miles N.W. of Brighton is a romantic place called the Devil's Dyke. Both these spots, but particularly the latter, command extensive prospects. The Dyke itself consists of a deep chasm winding between two hills, and a bold headland which it almost insulates. It bears traces of a Saxon or Danish encampment. Immediately below the Dyke Hill is the village of Poynings, the Church of which was erected in the time of Edward III. At the E. end of Brighton, on the road to Rottingdean, is Kemp Town, a modern erection, which derives its name from its proprietor, T. R. Kemp, Esq.; and at the W. end of the town, in the parish of Hove, is Brunswick Town, erected under the superintendence of Mr. Busby. Rottingdean, four miles E. from Brighton, is a pleasing watering-place for those who prefer the retirement of a village. It has lodging-houses and bathing machines. Hove, two miles W. from Brighton, is another retired bathing-place. - Parish. Pop. 40,634. 2 Membs.

The Meetings of the Sussex Agricul- tural Society are held in this town, and here was buried the celebrated William Huntingdon, over whose grave is an epitaph, written by himself. The markets of Lewes are well supplied, and there is an annual fair, at which from 60 to 80,000 sheep are sold. On a hill, about three-quarters of a mile from the town, is a Race-ground, considered one of the finest in England, and a commodious stand for the visiters. The races gene- rally take place in the first week of August, and last three days.

BATH, in Somersetshire, is situated on the Avon. This fine city and fashionable bathing-place is indebted for its origin and importance to its medicinal waters, which are used as baths, and internally as a medicine, and are particularly efficacious in paralytic, gouty, and bilious. cases. There are four public baths, the King's, Queen's, Hot, and Cross Baths; and two private baths, those belonging to the Corporation, in Stall Street, fitted up with pumps, sudatories, &c.; and those erected on the site of the Abbey House, by the Duke of Kingston.

The West- ern, which is the grand front, is distinguished by the richness. of its ornaments, and the whole fabric is illuminated by no less than fifty-two windows, whence it has sometimes been. called the Lanterm of England. The altar-piece represents the Wise Men's offering ; and the organ is considered one. of the best in Europe. Amongst the numerous monuments are those of Quin, the actor, with an epitaph by Garrick; Nash, the Master of the Ceremonies; and Dr. Haweis, one of the founders of the Missionary Society. The mo- numents of Colonel Walch, Bishop Montague, Colonel Newton, and Colonel Champion, are also worthy of notice. The other Churches are, St. James’s, a neat freestone structure, adorned with a picture of Christ at Emmaus; St. Michael's, containing paintings of Moses and our 74 No. 32, LONDON TO CAERMARTHEN, Saviour; St. Swithin, or Walcot Church, rebuilt in 1780; Bathwick Church, an elegant modern building, in the Gothic style; and Walcot New Church, erected in 1830. There are also several Chapels of Ease, a Roman Catholic Chapel, and numerous Meeting-houses. Almost all the houses of Bath are built with stone, which gives them a splendour and elegance superior to those of other towns in England. Amongst the public buildings which deserve notice, are the Guildhall, a hand- some structure in the High Street, erected in 1775, com- prising apartments for the administration of justice, a Council-room, and a Banqueting-room, ornamented with portraits; the Theatre, in Beaufort Square, erected in 1805; the Assembly-rooms, between Bennet and Alfred Streets, first opened in 1771, and considered the most ele- gant and spacious apartments in the kingdom for this purpose; the Bath Literary Institution, a modern edifice, containing a library, some casts, a collection of mineralogy, and some Roman monuments found near this city; the General Hospital, established for the reception of all the poor whose complaints require the use of the Bath waters; the Bath United Hospital, erected in 1828; Bathwick New Bridge, consisting of one iron arch, constructed from de- signs by Mr. Goodridge, in 1827.

There are also remains of an altar-piece discovered in 1821, and supposed to have been concealed since the time of Henry VIII. The seats of the stalls are carved with grotesque, and in some instances, indecent figures, said to have been executed by the monks. The W. gate- way is an elegant vestige of architectural antiquity. In July, 1833, an arched buttress supporting the S.W. angle of the tower fell down, and did considerable injury to this venerable edifice. Bristol has likewise nineteen Churches, numerous Dis- senting places of worship, a beautiful Roman Catholic chapel built in 1834, and a Synagogue; St. Mary, Red- cliffe, is one of the largest and handsomest parochial churches in England, and is adorned with a finely carved stone roof, and several monuments, amongst which may be seen that of Sir W. Penn, (the father of the celebrated Quaker,) as well as his armour; and two of William Can- ninge, one of the founders, or, rather, the finisher, of this church, who was seven years in priest’s orders, and five times Mayor of Bristol. One monument represents him in his ecclesiastical and the other in his municipal robes. The altar-piece was painted by Hogarth. All Saints contains the remains of Colston, who ex- pended more than 7000l. in acts of benevolence; and in the cemetery of St. Peter's lies Savage the poet.

Chatterton the poet; Cabot the discoverer of America; Colston the benefactor; Mary Robinson the poetess; Ann Yearsley, the poetical milk-maid; and Admiral Penn; were natives of Bristol. Mrs. Hannah More, Southey, Coleridge, Cottle, and Bailey the sculptor, were likewise born here. - Within a mile from Bristol is the splendid village of Clifton, situated on a lofty rock overhanging the Avon. Here are the Hot Wells, a great resort of invalids during the summer, for whose accommodation there are nume- rous lodging-houses, a pump-room, a ball-room, coffee- houses, &c. The Avon here flows between rocks of im- mense height overhung with shubbery, and the scenery is of the most beautiful description. St. Vincent's Rocks have long been celebrated for their grandeur, and may now be viewed even by the invalid with little fatigue, the Bristol merchants having caused an excellent road to be made from Clifton down to the Hot Wells on the side of the river. On the summit of the rock at Clifton is a Tower containing an excellent Camera Obscura, and se- veral good telescopes. It was intended to throw an iron suspension bridge across the Avon at Clifton, according to the design of Mr. Brunell; it was to be 230 feet high, with a span of 600. Compared to this, the Menai Bridge would have been insignificant. It is to be lamented that** 78 No. 32.

Though the harbour is difficult of access, the town carries on a considerable trade with London, Liverpool, Bristol, and Ireland; ex- porting slates, and importing wine, porter, coals, and grocery. The principal object of interest is the Castle, the walls of which are almost entire, and present an image of extraordinary strength, whilst its light and lofty turrets rising over an embattled parapet exhibit all the elegance of which the architecture of the age was capable. It was erected by Edward I., who here gave the Welsh the equi- vocating promise, that they should have a native prince for their ruler, which he performed by making the Castle the birthplace of his son, Edward II. The room in which he was born is still shown. The traveller should also notice the Town Hall, County Hall, County Prison, Market-house, and Church contain- ing several monuments; the Sea-water Baths, erected by the Marquis of Anglesea, the Quay, the Custom House, and the Terrace from the Quay to the N. end of the town walls, forming a pleasant promenade.

MANCHESTER, in Lancashire, is an immense manu- facturing and mercantile town, crowded with warehouses, factories, and shops, but adorned with handsome public buildings, and surrounded by numerous elegant villas. It was celebrated, two centuries ago, for its manufacture of woollen cloths, to which it has successively added fustians, mixed stuffs, hats, iron articles, tapes, laces, linen, silk, and cotton, till, at length, the latter has taken the lead, and Manchester has become the centre of the cotton trade, the emporium at which are collected all the products of the neighbouring towns, whence they are sent to London, Liverpool, Hull, and other places, for home, as well as foreign consumption. Its commerce is greatly aided by the rivers Irwell and Mersey, the Bridgewater canals, the Manchester and Ashton-under-Line canal, the Bolton and Bury canal, and the Rochdale canal; so that by means of these, and the canals and rivers which they join, it has water-communication with almost every part of England. Manchester has seventeen churches, the principal of which is the Collegiate Church, a beautiful Gothic struc- ture, containing several chapels and chantries, a richly ornamented choir, and some fine sculpture.

We shall proceed to mention the principal lakes as they occur in the above route. y CONISTON-LAKE, or THURSTON-WATER, about six miles in length, and three-quarters of a mile at its !" greatest breadth, is noted as well as Winder mere for its char. Its character is particularly romantic, and on its banks are scattered numerous cottages. ESTHWAITE-WATER, situated close to the town of Hawkshead, is about two miles long, and half a mile broad. Its shores are fringed with wood, and towards the head is a small floating island. WINDER-MERE, or WINANDER-MERE, ten miles and a half long, and two broad, is principally supplied by the Rothay and the Brathay. It is the most extensive lake in England, and is adorned with fourteen beautiful islands, the largest of which is called Belle Isle, or Curwen's Island. The water is particularly clear, and abounds with trout, perch, char, &c. No. 111. TOUR TO THE LAKES, 235 RYDALL-WATER, about a mile in circumference, is supplied by the Rothay, and is interspersed with several islands. At Rydall Hall are two cascades worthy of notice. GRASS-MERE LAKE, about a mile in length, and half a mile in breadth, exhibits a richness and variety of scenery equal to any that can be found in Westmoreland. Between Grass-Mere and Leathes-Water is Dun-mel-wray Stones, a heap of stones, supposed to have been raised in memory of a battle which took place here in the tenth century. The view of the Vale of Grass-Mere, from this spot, is beautiful. : LEATHES-WATER, or THIRL-MERE-LAKE, is a narrow and irregular sheet of water, about four miles long, skirting the base of Helvellyn mountain, which rises upwards of 3000 feet above the level of the sea.— A remarkable beauty peculiar to this lake is the approx- imation of its banks near the middle, so that a bridge has been thrown across for the convenience of the neighbour. ing shepherds. DERWENT-WATER, distinguished by the grandeur of its scenery, is situated near Keswick. It is of an irre- gular form, about three miles long, and one and a half broad, and contains several small but beautiful islands. The principal objects here worthy of notice are, the Low- dore Waterfall; the mountain of Skiddaw, to the N.; the Borrowdale Rocks, with the Bowdar Stone, at the S. ex- tremity of the lake; and the seats adorning the banks. BASSENTHWAITE-WATER, or BROADWATER, about four miles long, and one broad, is situated to the N.W. of Derwent-Water, with which it is connected by the river Derwent, and derives its grandeur from its vici- mity to Skiddaw, which soars above the interposing vale. The prospect from Ouse Bridge is beautiful. The best general views are from Braidmess and Scareness. BUTTER-MERE WATER is a mile and a half long, and half a mile broad. CRUMMOCK-WATER is three miles long, and about half a mile broad. Near it is Scale Force, a waterfall of great beauty. WAST-WATER is surrounded by romantic mountains, 236 No. 112, LONDON TO THE LAND’S END. which almost meet at the base, and render the access to this lake difficult. It is three miles long, and three- quarters of a mile at its greatest breadth. ENNERDALE-WATER is two miles and a half long, and varies from a quarter to three quarters of a mile in breadth. LOWES-WATER is a mile long, and about a quarter of a mile in breadth. ULLS-WATER, the most beautiful of the lakes, is situated partly in Cumberland and partly in Westmoreland, It is nine miles long, but its greatest width is little more than one ; and in one part a vast rock projects, so as to reduce it to less than a quarter of a mile. The rocks of Ulls-Water and its vicinity are celebrated for reverbe- rating sounds; the report of a cannon may be distinctly heard six or seven times, and the effect produced by a musical wind instrument is particularly beautiful. The lake abounds with fish, particularly trout, perch and eels. On the W, side is Gowbarrow Park, formerly the property of the Duke of Norfolk. In the grounds is Aurey Force, a waterfall of eighty feet. On the summit of Dunmallet, at the N.E. end of Ulls-Water, are the ruins of an ancient building, by some supposed to have been a Roman station, by others a Benedictine priory. HAWES, or HALL’S WATER, about three miles long, and half a mile broad, abounds with char, perch, trout, &c. Besides these, there are several smaller lakes, which are seldom visited except by adventurous pedestrians. No. 112. From LonDON to the LAND’S END. FIRST RoAD.

About a mile from the Land’s End are several rocks, called the Long Ships, on the largest of which is a lighthouse, 112 feet in height from the sea. About nine leagues W. of the Land's End lie the Scilly Islands, a group of rocks and islets, supposed to have for- merly produced much tin, but at present chiefly known as a resort for sea-fowl, and a shelter for ships. The principal island is St. Mary's (Pop. 1311), which has three towns, a harbour defended by a pier, a fortress, and a custom-house. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in husbandry, fish- ing, and making kelp. A number of beautiful shells are found upon the shore here. On St. Agnes (Pop. 289) is a Lighthouse, as these rocks are often fatal to ships entering the Channel, One of the most disastrous events happened ; No. 112, LONDON TO THE LAND’S END, 241 in 1707, when Sir Cloudesley Shovel and the crews of three men-of-war perished.

LIVERPOOL, situated in Lancashire, at the mouth of the Mersey, was merely a hamlet of the parish of Walton till the reign of William III., since which time it has rapidly advanced in opulence and importance, through the spirited industry and enterprising pursuits of its inhabit- ants, being now the second commercial port in the king- dom. It has been estimated that one-twelfth part of the shipping of Great Britain is navigated by Liverpool; that it has one-fourth part of her foreign trade, one-sixth part of her general commerce, and one-half of the trade of the city of London. Its principal traffic is carried on with the United States, the West India Islands, Brazil, and other parts of South America, Ireland, and the East Indies; but it also derives great advantage from inland navigation, as well as from the staple commodities of coal, salt, and earthenware, and the unrivalled cotton manufac- tures of the county in which it is situated. The Docks were the first harbours or reservoirs for the accommoda- tion of merchandise ever constructed in this kingdom ; No. 122.

THIS Island is situated in the Irish Sea, between England and Ireland. Its length is about 30 miles, and its greatest breadth 12 miles. Through its centre runs a high ridge of hills, from which many rivulets descend; the extremities of the land are good pasture. Snaffield, or Snawfell, is the highest hill. Vessels proceed weekly fom Whitehaven to Ramsey; but the principal intercourse is between Liverpool and Douglas. A Steam-vessel leaves Liverpool three times a week for Greenock, in Scotland, and touches in its way at Douglas, where it arrives in about ten hours. The dis- tance from Whitehaven to Ramsey is 35 miles, and from Liverpool to Douglas 80 miles. DOUGLAS, the most populous place in the Island, is pleasantly situated between hills at the end of a bay, about two miles in extent. The streets are very narrow and irre- gular, but many of the houses are neat. The harbour is capable of receiving vessels of the largest burden, and the strand is well adapted for bathing. The Pier, constructed in 1801, is 520 feet long and 40 broad; it is terminated by a lighthouse, and is much frequented as a promenade. Douglas has two Chapels, several Meeting-houses, a Theatre, and a Circulating Library. Half a mile distant is Mona Castle, the residence of the Governor, a pleasant modern villa, overlooking the Bay.

It is situated in a hollow, surrounded by high and dreary moors, and is celebrated for its waters, which annually attract more than 500 visiters. Their temperature is more agreeable for bathing than the waters of Bath, and they are found very efficacious in the cure of rheumatic complaints. They are also administered internally, in nephritic and billous disorders. The principal buildings are the Crescent, an elegant stone edifice, erected from designs by Mr. Carr, by the late Duke of Devonshire, comprising three hotels, card-rooms, assembly-rooms, &c., and the stables behind it, also erected by his Grace, are com- sidered by many the most complete in Europe. They form a circle, the interior of which is sixty yards in diameter, and have coach-houses for sixty carriages. The Church at Buxton was built by the Duke of Devonshire in 1812. Here also are circulating Libraries, numerous Lodging- houses, a Theatre, Private and Public Baths, a Bath for the Poor, News-rooms, &c. St. Anne's Well is remark- able, because hot and cold water may be obtained from the same pump. Chapelry. Pop. 1211.

MARGATE, (or St. John in Thanet,) in the Isle of Thanet, Kent, was originally a fishing village, but was converted during the last century into one of the most fre- quented watering-places in the United Kingdom; it has a harbour formed by a pier, which enables it to carry on a considerable trade, as much of the produce of the island is shipped there, and it affords protection to numerous fishing vessels employed in the supply of the London market. The principal objects worthy of notice are, the New Church, erected in 1826, with a lofty tower, from designs by Mr. Edmunds; the Assembly Rooms, a handsome building of the Ionic order in Cecil Square; the Pier, along the top of which is a beautiful promenade; a tablet on the side of the Pier, recording the preservation of the York East-India- man ; the Jetty, for the use of passengers embarking or disembarking at low water; the Old Church, containing several ancient monuments; the Town Hall, in which is a portrait of the late Dr. Jarvis, by Jackson; the Clifton Baths curiously excavated from the rock near the Fort ; and the Sea-bathing Infirmary at Westbrook, about a quarter of a mile distant. Margate has also excellent Baths, Bathing Machines; a Theatre; several Meeting-Houses; Libraries; a well- supplied Market, and numerous Boarding-Houses. During the season, which begins in June, and termi- nates in October, steam-vessels sail every day between London and this place, and perform the voyage in from No. 134, LONDON TO MARGATE, 269 six to nine hours. Races are then held for three days, and excursions in sailing-vessels are daily made to places in the vicinity, particularly to the Reculvers or Two Sisters, the remains of a Church situated on the edge of the cliff, about nine miles from Margate, and kept in repair by the corporation of the Trinity-House for the benefit of naviga- tion. Draper’s Hospital, about a mile from Margate, was erected in 1709, by Michael Yoakley, a quaker, for the re- ception of poor men and women of the neighbouring parishes. At St. Peter's, a village about two miles from Margate, are the Thanet Ranelagh Gardens, fitted up in an elegant style for public balls and breakfasts. In St. Peter's Church is a tablet to the memory of Thomas She- ridan, the father of the celebrated orator, Richard Joy, the Kentish Samson, lies buried on the S. side of the churchyard. There is also a public garden called Tivoli, formerly shady groves, half a mile from Margate. Kingsgate, 3 miles from Margate, and 1 from Broad- stairs, was so called in consequence of Charles II. and James Duke of York landing here, on their way from Lon- don to Dover, in 1683. At this place there is a breach in the cliff, across which formerly stood an ancient gate, which fell down a few years ago. Here also are the remains of a noble mansion, erected by the late Henry Lord Holland, in imitation of Tully's Villa, on the coast of Baia. Between Kingsgate and Broadstairs is the North Foreland, the most eastern point of the county. It is surmounted by a lighthouse, to the summit of which visiters may ascend. Dandelion, 1% mile distant, was formerly noticed as a place of public amusement. It has since been converted into a private residence. The situation is charming.

WINCHESTER, the capital of Hampshire, is a place of great antiquity, having been the Saxon metropolis, the residence of King John, and the birthplace of his son, Henry III., and of Arthur, the son of Henry VII. It is situated on the Itchen, which is navigable for barges, and has a direct communication with the sea, by means of a canal: little trade, however, is carried on, though it has some employment in wool-combing. The Cathedral is one of the most interesting buildings in England, whether we consider the antiquity of its foundation, the importance of the scenes which have been transacted thene, or the characters of the personages buried within its walls. It is also culious as a fine specimen of Saxon, Norman, and English styles of architecture, and as the longest Cathedral in England, measuring 500 feet from East to West. It was successively embellished by Bishops Wykeham and Waynfleet, and Bishop Fox, whose chantry is a masterpiece of its kind. The altar-screen is of beautiful design, although destitute of the statues which formerly filled the miches. It contains numerous objects well worthy of notice, particularly six coffins, con- taining the bones of several Saxon kings and queens, one of whom was Canute; the marble coffin of William Rufus ; and amongst other monuments those of Bishop Waynfleet, William of Wykeham, Cardinal Beaufort, Bishop Fox, who died in 1528 on the 26th day in an attempt to imitate our Saviour's fast of Forty Days, Bishop Gardner, Bishop B.

Another, to the memory of Viscountess Palmerston, was executed by Flaxman. Here Sir W. Petty, the founder of the Lansdown family, was buried. On the leads of the roof fomerly grew an apple- tree, which produced excellent fruit, notwithstanding its singular situation. It died a few years back, and several efforts to raise another have been made without success.

Riding of Yorkshire, is a large, populous, and opulent town, situated on an eminence, at the confluence of the Don and the Sheaf, long celebrated for its manufacture of cutlery and plated goods.

The town is regular and well-built, though the nature of its trade renders the houses dingy and the air smoky. There are three Churches, in one of which, called Trinity Church, formerly St. Peter's, is buried Wm. Walker, supposed to have been the executioner of Charles I. ; the monument of the Rev. J. Wilkinson, in this church, was the first monu- mental sculpture executed by Chantrey. St. George's Church has an altar-piece by Mr. Parris.

About three miles from Tadcaster, between Towton, and Saxton, is a ridge of high ground, remarkable as the scene of a famous contest between the armies of York and Lancaster, in 1461. About six miles beyond Tadcaster, on the right, is Bishopsthorp, the Palace of the Archbishops of York, con- taining a chapel, adorned with painted glass by Peckett, of York, at the expense of Archbishop Drummond, who also rebuilt the parish Church in an elegant style, and enriched it with a painted window. YORK, the Eboracum of the Romans, is situated on the Ouse and the Fosse, and has long been regarded as the capital of the N. of England, and the second city in the kingdom, though in wealth and population it is now left far behind several trading towns. It is divided into four districts, which derive their names from the city gates, or bars—Mickle Gate, Bootham Gate, Monk Gate, and Walm Gate. It is principally distinguished for its Cathedral or Minster, which, from its mass, its grandeur, and its architectural beauties, is generally placed at the head of the Gothic structures of this kingdom. The W. front is extremely superb, the E. has a very fine window ; the lantern-tower is ornamented with peculiar taste ; the nave is larger than any except that of St. Peter's at Rome; nearly all the windows are of painted glass, representing sacred subjects; and there are numerous ancient and magnificent monuments, amongst which may be seen those of Archbishop Scrope and Sir George Saville. The screen separating the nave from the choir is an exquisite specimen of sculpture, adorned with figures of the kings of England from William I, to Henry VI. The Chapter house is a fine octagon building, with painted windows; on the N.W. of the Cathedral is the Library. In February, 1829, the Cathedral was much injured by fire, the choir and organ being entirely destroyed. It has, however, been restored under the direction of Sir Robert Smirke. Besides the Cathedral, there are twenty-one parish Churches within the walls, and three in the suburbs; the most remarkable are, All Saints, in Nºrth Street, adorned No. 191, LONDON TO SCARBOROUGH. 329 with some fine painted glass; St. Mary’s, in Castle Gate, distinguished by a beautiful spire ; All Hallows, a fine specimen of Gothic architecture, built with the ruins of the ancient Eboracum; St. Dennis, containing, under a large blue marble tomb in the choir, the remains of an Earl of Northumberland; and St. Margaret’s, having a singular porch, ornamented with the signs of the Zodiac, and other hieroglyphics. In the Friends' Burying-ground are deposited the remains of Lindley Murray, the gram- marian. The other objects in York deserving notice, are, the Museum and the remains of St. Mary’s Abbey, on the N. side of the city; the Mickle Gate, and near it, the Gateway which formed the entrance to the Priory of the Holy Trinity, both curious vestiges of antiquity; the ruins behind the latter situated on a mount; the Castle, origi- mally built by William I., now used as the County Gaol, and surrounded by a massive stone wall of noble architec- ture, built from designs by P. E. Robinson, Esq.; the Basilica, or County Hall, a handsome structure of the Ionic order, erected in 1777; the ruins of Clifford’s Tower, on a commanding eminence near the Castle, said to have been raised by the Romans ; the Mansion-house, a commodious building, erected in 1726, as the residence of the annual first magistrate, who is the only one in England partici. pating with the municipal head of London in the title of Lord Mayor; the magnificent Assembly-rooms, planned by the Earl of Burlington with great taste and judgment ; the Concert-room, erected in 1825; the Guildhall, built in 1446, a noble edifice, embellished with painted glass; the Theatre, erected in 1770; and the Promemade called the New Walk, along the banks of the Ouse. York possesses several Meeting-houses, a County Hos- pital, and numerous other Charitable Institutions; near it is the Retreat, a Lunatic Asylum belonging to the Society of Friends. The ancient walls which surround the city have lately been partially repaired, and it is to be hoped they will be completed, by public subscription. It carries on a considerable river trade, as vessels of 120 tons can come up the Ouse to the bridge; and it has some traffic in gloves and drugs, as well as in printing and bookselling. The principal source of profit to the inhabitants, however, F 3 330 No. 191, LONDON TO SCARBOROUGH. is the influx of visiters to the assizes and the races.

The coast is extremely diversified, but the southern por- tion, or what is called the Back of the Island, is the most picturesque. There are four rivers, the Medina, the Yar, the Wotton, and the Brading. The distance from South- ampton to Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, is 15 miles. Steam-vessels perform the voyage every morning during the summer in about an hour and a half, and heturn in the afternoon. Steam-vessels likewise go daily from Portsmouth to Ryde, the distance between which is about 6 miles. As the limits of this work will not allow a detailed account of the island, we have endeavoured, in the follow- ing Routes, to point out all the principal objects worthy of notice, and the best method of visiting them. If the traveller take up his residence at Newport, which is situ- ated almost in the centre of the island, he may visit its principal beauties in three or four days, though for a mi- nute inspection of all, he would require as many weeks. COWES, or WEST COWES, at which the traveller will land if he sail from Southampton, is delightfully situ- ated on a steep eminence, at the mouth of the Medina or Cowes river. The streets are narrow, and the houses ill- built, but the manner in which they rise one above another, from the water’s edge, gives them a romantic appearance. The parade is a fashionable promemade in the summer season. At the entrance of the harbour is a Castle, erected by Henry VIII., near to which is the Royal Yacht Club-house, and to the west of it are kept numerous bathing- machines, as this place is much fiequented during the summer. The regatta takes place annually about August. The hotels are good, and carriages may be hired to make excursions in the island. Stages are constantly going from Cowes to Newport.

NEWPORT, the principal town in the island, is a well- built and populous place, situated on the W. bank of the Medina, which is navigable to the quay. The principal objects of attention are St. Thomas's Church, in which the Princess Elizabeth, the second daughter of Charles I. was buried, and which contains a carved pulpit ; the Free School, where this unfortunate monarch held a conference with the Parliamentary Commissioners; the Public Li- brary, or Isle of Wight Institution, a handsome building in the principal street; the Market-house, designed by Mr. Nash; the Theatre, and the Assembly-rooms. In the Independent Meeting-house, at Node-hill, is an inscription by Montgomery the poet, in memory of the Rev. D. Tyer- man, the Missionary. Newport has several Meeting-houses, and a Roman Catholic Chapel; and near it, on the road to Cowes, are the Albany Barracks, capable of accommodating 3000 men. The inhabitants of Newport are chiefly em- ployed in the manufacture of starch and hair-powder, and the making of cracknels and biscuits for the navy. The markets are well supplied with provisions, particularly poultry and butter, but fish is scarce. In the vicinity are several corn-mills, and a well-regulated House of Industry.

Imme- diately beyond it, over an arm of the sea, is Wootton Bridge, the prospect from which, at high water, is remark- ably beautiful. By Binstead Parsonage, near which are vestiges of Quarr Abbey, which was founded for Cistercian monks in the reign of Henry I., to RY DE, a flourishing town, much frequented for bathing. It has a Pier, 2246 feet long, built in 1813, and lengthened in 1833, which forms an excellent promenade ; and there are numerous lodging-houses, as well as a boarding- house and a Library, for the accommodation of visiters. In the vicinity are several beautiful villas adorning the sea-shore. Ryde has two Episcopal Chapels, St. Thomas and St. James’s, Meeting-houses, a National School, a Theatre, and Assembly Rooms. The theatre is usually open in July, August, and September. The Market House and Town Hall were erected in 1830, from designs by Mr. Sanderson. The Dover, to the east of the pier, is a large tract of waste land, used as a promenade, and remarkable as being the burial-place of many of the unfor- tunate crew of the Royal George, which sank at Spithead the 29th of August, 1782, being part of a fleet destined for Gibraltar. The fare in the steam-boat from Ryde to Portsmouth is only 1s. 6d., but persons may have a boat to themselves for 5s. There are also boats to Brighton, during the summer, every Monday; and on Wednesday 346 No. 202, ISLE OF WIGHT. a steam-packet makes the coasting tour of the island.

It has a convenient quay, and store-houses for corn, and its Church is considered the most ancient ecclesiastical foundation in the island. It contains a monument, with a figure in complete armour, carved in wood. In the churchyard is the tomb of the ‘Young Cottager,’ well known by the narrative of the late Rev. Legh Richmond, who was settled here for some years. The Haven abounds with oysters, mullet, whitings, flat-fish, and cockles, and is capable of receiving vessels of 400 tons. Dover Point, forming the termination of the Haven towards the sea, commands a fine view, particu- larly at high water. Bembridge, on the opposite side of the Haven, is the most eastern part of the island. It is a pretty village, and has a Chapel, erected in 1827. Parish. Pop. 2227. SANDOWN has extensive barracks, and near them is the cottage once inhabited by the celebrated John Wilkes. Sandown Fort, about half a mile distant, was originally erected by Henry VIII., and is now the most considerable fort in the island.

It was formerly the most important fortress in the island, and is celebrated as having been the prison of Charles I. The Well here is shown to visiters on account of its remarkable depth ; and the Keep, which is still in tolerable condition, commands a very fine view. The Gateway has a picturesque appear- ance; and near it is the window from which, it is said, Charles attempted to escape. Thence, by the pretty village of Shorwell,—Briarton, Mottestone, at which are vestiges of a Druidical Temple,_ Brook, to FRESHWATER GATE, consisting of only a few houses, one of which is a small inn. The Cliffs here are remarkable for flinty strata; and in those west of Freshwater Bay is a curious natural cavern, only accessible at low water. The Light-house on the summit of the Cliffs commands fine sea views. The NEEDLES consist of perpendicular rocks in the ocean, at the W. extremity of the island. They derived their name from a lofty pointed rock, 150 feet high, in the shape of a needle, which fell down in 1764. Near the Needles is Allum Bay, the view of which is rendered very picturesque by the varied tints of the rock, and the nu- merous sea-fowl constantly hovering in the air. In the vicinity are several rabbit-warrens. There is a very meat inn at Allum Bay. Thence, by the village of Freshwater, to YARMOUTH, a sea-port on the E. side of the mouth of the Yar. It has a meat Market House and Town Hall, and a Fort, erected by Henry VIII. Near the Church, an edifice, built in 1543, is a Chapel, containing the monu- ment of Sir Robert Holmes, who was governor of the island in the time of Charles II. He built the house which is now the George Imm, and here he received this monarch. There are also Meeting-houses. Vessels sail daily from Yarmouth to Lymington, which is about five miles distant.

In the churchyard of Arreton is the grave-stone of ‘The Dairyman’s Daughter, whose character was so pleasingly sketched by the late Rev. L. Richmond. . The cottage in which she lived, about a mile and a half from the church, is much visited. Thence proceed by Brenston to SHANKLIN, a small village, with a tolerable inn. The Chine, which is one of the principal curiosities in the island, is a picturesque chasm, commencing about a quarter of a mile from the shore, and becoming gradually wider and deeper as it approaches the sea. Through this chasm flows a small rill, which at one place forms a fall, whilst in other parts it is almost hidden by the luxuriant foliage with which the Chine is adorned. The height of the Chine is 270 feet, its greatest width about 175 feet. Between Shanklin and Bonchurch is Luccombe Chine, which is very thickly wooded, and is likewise embellished by a small rivulet. - BON CHURCH, or Sr. BONIFACE, is a very pictu- resque village, situated on a landslip, the bold fragments of which give it a very romantic appearance. Nearly opposite Boniface Cottage is a singular rock, whence a fine view of the village, as well as of the sea, may be obtained. Beyond Bonchurch commences the romantic tract called No. 202, ISLE OF WIGHT. 349 Undercliff, which extends along the shore as far as the Sandrock Hotel, and presents a scene of singular beauty. On one side of the road a wall of rock rises to a consider- able height, whilst the ocean bounds the other. The tract of irregular land along which the road passes has evidently been detached from the adjacent rock, and sunk to its present situation, by some matural convulsion. VENTNOR has two inns, where tolerable accommoda- tion may be obtained,—the New Inn, and the Crab and Lobster. Beyond it is Steephill, the seat of the Earl of Dysart, a small but elegant building, situated in delightful grounds. On the opposite side of the road is a waterfall, and a pleasing walk to the shore. Between Steephill and St. Lawrence is the Marine Villa of Lord Yarborough, the grounds of which are prettily ornamented. ST. LAWRENCE is remarkable for the size of its Church, which is said to be the smallest in the kingdom. It is only twenty feet long, and twelve wide. In its vicinity are several charming villas. SANDROCK HOTEL, or ROCK COTTAGE, is a beautifully-situated inn, on an eminence commanding a very fine prospect of the sea. About one mile and a half W. of this house is the Sandrock Spring, said to be the strongest aluminous chalybeate spring in existence; and a short distance beyond it is Black Gang Chine, a rude chasm, 500 feet high, on the S. W. declivity of St. Catha- rine’s Hill. The view of this Chine from the shore is very striking, particularly after heavy rain, when the water from the hill falls over the rock in a continuous stream. Car- riages cannot approach within three-quarters of a mile; but the foot-road to the edge of the precipice is tolerably good, and there are generally persons on the spot to point out the best path to the beach. NITON is a small village on the E. base of the lofty St. Catharine, from the summit of which it is about a mile distant. The Church is very ancient; and in the churchyard are the steps of a cross, supposed to have been used in former times for the purpose of baptism. From this place the tourist may ascend St. Catharine's Hill, which rises 750 feet above the level of the sea. Puckaster Cove, just below Niton, is celebrated as the spot at which 350 No.202, ISLE OF JERSEY. Charles II. landed after a storm. Pop. 573. Inn; the White Lion. About one mile and a half N. of Niton, to the left of the road towards Godshill, is Medina Hermitage; and immediately above it a Pillar, erected by Mr. Hoy, to commemorate the visit of the Emperor Alexander, in 1814. - GODSHILL has a Church situated on an eminence, and adorned with some good monuments. - About a mile distant is Appuldurcombe, the seat of Lord Yarborough, formerly the residence of Sir R. Worsley. It is a noble free-stone mansion of the Corinthian order, and the interior is enriched with a fine collection of sculptures, paintings, drawings, &c. Orders to see it may be obtained of Mr. Sewell, at Newport. - Thence by Pidford—Standen—to NEWPORT. ISLES OF JERSEY, GUERNSEY, AND ALDERNEY. Excursions are frequently made by Tourists from South- ampton to these islands, which are situated near the French coast, but belong to England, having been attached to this country by its Norman princes. They may likewise be visited from Weymouth, from which vessels sail, as well as from Southampton. The ISLE OF JERSEY, which is the farthest from England, is about 48 leagues from Southampton. Its length is about 12 miles, and its breadth about six; the surface is beautifully varied with hill, dale, and water, and the cliffs on the N. shore are very lofty. The island abounds with apple-trees, from which 25,000 hogsheads of cider have been made in one year; and it produces plenty of cattle, particularly sheep. St. Helier's or St. Hilary, the chief place in Jersey, situated on the E. side of St. Aubin’s Bay, has a commodious harbour, defended by a strong castle, which is the residence of the Governor. The principal buildings are the Church, containing a monument to Major Pearson ; the Court House, a handsome structure in the centre of the town; the Corn Market; the New Prison; and the Hospital.

The ISLE OF GUERNSEY is about 20 miles N. E. of Jersey, 60 from Weymouth, and 110 from Southampton. It is 9 miles in length, and 6 in breadth. Some of the bays surrounding it present grand and romantic scenery, particu- larly Moulin l'Huet, Petit Bo, and the village of King's Mills. This island is strongly fortified by nature with a ridge of rocks, one of which abounds with emery. St. Pierre or St. Peter Port, the principal place in Guernsey, consists of one long narrow street. It has a commodious harbour with a noble pier, and is defended by two Castles, one of which is the residence of the Governor. The Market, erected in 1822, is very extensive, and admi- rably arranged. St. James’s Church, built in 1818, is a handsome edifice in the Grecian style. Near St. Pierre is a lofty column raised in honour of Sir John Doyle. King's Mills, 3 miles from St. Pierre, is much frequented on account of its picturesque appearance. The ISLE OF AI,DERNEY is situated about 18 miles N.E. of Guernsey, and is famous for its cows, which pro- duce excellent milk. It has but one town, which is in the centre of the island, and the harbour is 2 miles distant. Near this island is a ridge of rocks called the Caskets, which is dangerous for vessels.

The principal traffic arises from the exportation of coals, in which upwards of 500 vessels are engaged, besides an equal number of keels in bringing them from the staiths to the ships. Sunderland exports lime, glass, grindstones, and copperas; and has manufac- tories of glass, earthenware, and pottery.

The Isle is four miles and a half long and two broad, and presents several objects worthy of attention, par- ticularly Port and Castle, which defends the Weymouth Road, the ruins of Bow and Arrow Castle, the Light- houses, and the Cave, or Keeve's Hole. To the N. of the isle is a safe road for ships ; but the S. point, called the Race of Portland, is one of the most dangerötts places in the British Channel. The distance from Weymouth to Portland, by water, is about four miles ; and, when wind and tide are favourable, the voyage may be accomplished in half an hour. The best way, however, is to proceed by land to the Ferry-house at the end of Smallmouth Sands, and there cross an inlet of the sea. No. 233. From LoNDON to WINCHESTER. FIRST RoAD.

ENGLAND is surrounded by the sea on every side except the north, where it is separated from Scotland by the Tweed, the Liddel Water, and other smaller streams. It is bounded on the east by the German Ocean; on the south by the English Channel; and on the west by St. George's Channel. It is situated between 49° 56', and 55° 46' north lati- tude; and between 1955' east, and 5° 38' west longitude. Its greatest length from Berwick-on-Tweed to the southern coast is about 360 miles, and its greatest breadth from the North Foreland to the Land’s End about 370 miles. The extent of England and Wales is computed at 57,960 square miles, or 37,094,400 acres. Of these 1 1,143,370 acres consist of cultivated lands and gardens; and 17,605,630 of meadows and pasturages. The remain- der is uncultivated land. The population of England and Wales is estimated at 13,894,574. CLIMATE. The insular situation of England renders it liable to con- siderable variations in the weather, and induces a humidity which, while it is injurious to the health of the inhabit- 2 P 2 436 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ants, by causing colds and catarrhs, clothes the vales and meadows with a delightful verdure unknown to other regions, RIVERS. England is intersected by a great number of rivers, the most important of which are the Thames, the Severn, the Humber, and the Mersey. The Thames has its rise near Cirencester in Gloucester- shire, and soon enters Wiltshire, where it becomes a stream of importance, receiving the Swill Brook, the Key, and the Churn, and passing by Cricklade. It then ploceeds by Lechlade to Oxford, where it is increased by the Charwell, and at Dorchester receives the Tame. Continuing its course towards the S.E., it forms a boundary to the Coun- ties of Oxford, Berks, Bucks, Surry, Middlesex, Essex, and Rent, and passes by Wallingford, Reading (where it re- ceives the Kennet), IIenley, Mallow, Maidenhead, Wind- sor, Eton, Staines, Chertsey, Kingston, Richmond, Brent- ford, Hammersmith, Chelsea, and Lambeth. Then on the N. bank of the river are Westminster and London, and on the S. side Southwark, forming together one continued city, extending to Limehouse and Deptford. Thence the river proceeds by Greenwich, Blackwall, Woolwich, Erith, Greenhithe, Gray's Thurrock, and Gravesend to the sea, which it enters after a course of about 200 miles, reckoning from its source to the Nore. The tide flows up to Rich- mond, which, following the winding of the river, is 70 miles from the sea—a greater distance than the tide is car- ried by any other liver of Europe. The Thames becomes navigable for barges of 80 or 90 tons at Lechlade, 138 miles above London. Ships of the largest size may ascend the river as far as Deptford, and vessels of 700 or 800 tons can come up to London Bridge. The water is esteemed extremely wholesome, and fit for use in very long voyages, during which it will work itself perfectly fine, ENGLAND AND WALES. 437 The Severn rises on Plinlimmon Mountain in Mont- gomeryshire, and flowing across Shropshire, Worcester- shire, and Gloucestershire, enters the Bristol Channel after a course of about 150 miles. In its progress it receives numerous smaller streams, the principal of which are the Northern and Southern Avons, the Teme, and the Wye; and passes by the towns of Welsh Pool, where it first be- comes navigable, Shrewsbury, Bridgenorth, Worcester, Tewkesbury, and Gloucester. - The Humber is a large estuary formed by the union of the Ouse, the Trent, the Dom, and other smaller streams. It separates Lincolnshire from Yorkshire, and enters the German Ocean. The Mersey rises in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and passing by Stockport, Warrington, and Liverpool, forms the boundary between Cheshire and Lancashire. Near Stockport it receives the Tame, and low; down the Irwell. The Trent has its source in Staffordshire, whence it flows through Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire, and increased by the Dove, the Derwent, and other streams, enters the Humber after a course of about 100 miles. The chief towns on its banks are Burton, Notting- ham, and Gainsborough. The Northern Ouse is formed by the union of the Ure and the Swale, both of which rise in the N.W. part of Yorkshire. It passes by York and Selby, and falls into the Humber, after receiving the PWharf and the Derwent, The Don rises near Penistone in Yorkshire, and passing by Sheffield, Rotherham, and Doncaster, enters the Ouse. The Medway has its source in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, and entering Kent, waters Tunbridge, Maidstone, and Chatham. Here it divides into two branches, one joining the Thames at the Nore, and the other, called the East Swale, passing by Milton and Faversham to the sea. The Dee rises near Bala, in Meriomethshire, passes through a picturesque district to Chester, and then enters the Irish Sea. 438 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF The Tyne is formed by two streams, one of which rises in the northern, and the other in the southern part of Northumberland. These unite a little above Hexham, and flowing by Newcastle, enter the German Ocean. The Avon rises near Naseby, in Northamptonshire, and flowing through Warwickshire and Worcestershire, joins the Severn at Tewkesbury. The principal places on its banks are Warwick, Stratford, Evesham, and Pershore. The Lower Avon derives its source from different springs on the confines of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. It runs by Malmesbury, Chippenham, Bath, and Bristol into the Bristol Channel. The Upper Avon also rises in Wiltshire, and takes a southward course by Amesbury, Salisbury, and Downton, beyond which it enters Hampshire, and passing Fording- bridge and Ringwood, falls into the sea at Christchurch. The PWye rises in Plinlimmon, near the source of the Severn, and flows through Radnorshire, along the borders of Brecknockshire into Herefordshire. Thence it proceeds between the counties of Monmouth and Gloucestershire to the Severn. It passes Rhaiadyr, Builth, Hay, Hereford, Ross, Monmouth, and Chepstow. Its banks, towards the latter part of its course, are very picturesque. The Tees rises on the borders of Cumberland, and run- ning towards the east, divides Durham from Yorkshire, and enters the German Ocean. Barnard Castle, Yarm, and Stockton are the chief places on its banks. The Great Ouse rises near Brackley, in Northampton- shire, waters Buckingham, Stony Stratford, Newport Pag- nel, Olney, and Bedford, where it is navigable. Thence it proceeds by St. Neot's, Huntingdom, St. Ives, Downham, and Lynn, to the Wash. . The Stour rises on the borders of Cambridgeshire, and, taking an eastern direction, forms the boundary between Suffolk and Essex. It passes by Sudbury, and falls into the German Ocean at Harwich. - ENGLAND AND WALES. 439 The Eare has its source in Somersetshire, and, entering Devonshire, flows by Tiverton, Exeter, Topsham, and Ex- mouth into the British Channel. The Taw and the Torridge are rivers of Devonshire, flowing into the sea at Barnstaple, or Bideford Bay. The Parret rises in Somersetshire, and after receiving the Ivel and the Thone, enters the Bristol Channel at Bridge- water Bay. The Usk has its source in Brecknockshire, and passing Brecon and Crickhowell, enters Monmouthshire. It then proceeds by Usk, Caerleon, and Newport to the Bristol Channel. The Teift has its rise in the eastern part of Cardigan- shire. It passes Tregaron, Lampeter, and Cardigan, be- yond which it enters St. George's Channel. The Ribble rises in Yorkshire, and crossing Lancashire, falls into the Irish Sea beyond Preston. The Loyne, or Lune, rises in Westmoreland, and falls into the Irish Sea beyond Lancaster. The Eden rises in Westmoreland, passes by Appleby into Cumberland, and flowing by Carlisle, enters the Solway Firth. There are also some others of minor importance. CANALS. The first Canal established in England was in Lanca- shire, to convey coals from St. Helen’s to Liverpool. The Act of Parliament for this Canal, which was called the Sankey, was passed in 1755. Since that period, an im- mense number of canals have been formed, extending to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Derby, Nottingham, Shef- field, Hull, Birmingham, Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol, Oxford, and London: indeed scarcely any portion of the country is now destitute of the means of inland navigation, 440 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF RAIL-ROADS. Besides the celebrated line from Liverpool to Manchester, which is to be continued to the metropolis, there are others, for the purposes of commerce, in various parts of the king- dom. That from London to Birmingham proceeds rapidly: the Western, the Southampton, and that to York and Yar- mouth, are the most important resolved on. There are also minor ones to Greenwich and to Blackwall; the former is nearly completed. LAKES. The principal Lakes of England have already been noticed in the preceding pages. They are PWindermere, be- tween Westmoreland aud Lancashire; Ullswater, on the borders of Westmoreland and Cumberland ; Coniston, in Lancashire; and Derwent water and Bassenthwaite in Cum- berland. They are all distinguished by beautiful scenery. MINERALS, &c. Cornwall is celebrated for its mines of tin and copper. Gold and silver have also been discovered in this county. Lead is found in Derbyshire, Somersetshire, and Cumber- land ; aud iron in Shropshire, Gloucestershire, Glamorgan- shire, and Lancashire. Marble is found in Devonshire and other counties ; and quarries of freestone in several places. Northumberland and Cheshire contain alum and salt- pits. Alabaster appears in Derbyshire; fuller's earth in Berkshire, and some other counties. Coals are found in great abundance in Northumberland, Durham, Cumber- land, Glamorganshire, and Staffordshire. Slate abounds in Wales and in Cumberland. In Cumberland, also, is a mine of black-lead, which is superior to any other in the world. - MOUNTAINS. - The principal mountains in England are Crop Fell, Sca or Scaw Fell, and Helvellyn, in Cumberland; the Peak in Der- ENGLAND AND WALES. 441 byshire; the Endle in Lancashire; the Bow Fell in York- shire; the Chiltern in Bucks; Malvern in Worcestershire; Cotswold in Gloucestershire; Mendip in Somersetshire; the Wrekin in Shropshire; the Cheviot, between England and Scotland; Skiddaw in Cumberland ; and Snowdon, Cader Idris, and P/inlimmon, in Wales. CIVIL DIVISIONS. England is divided into forty Counties, and the Princi- pality of Wales into twelve, making the whole number of counties in South Britain fifty-two. The six Northern Counties are Northumberland Yorkshire Cumberland Westmoreland Durham Lancashire There are four bordering Wales, Cheshire Herefordshire Shropshire Monmouthshire The twelve Midland Counties are Nottinghamshire Warwickshire Derbyshire Worcestershire Staffordshire Gloucestershire Leicestershire Oxfordshire Rutlandshire Buckinghamshire Northamptonshire Bedfordshire The eight Eastern Counties are Lincolnshire Suffolk Huntingdonshire Essex Cambridgeshire Hertfordshire Norfolk Middlesex The ten Southern Counties are Kent Hampshire Surrey Dorsetshire 442 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF Sussex Somersetshire Berkshire .

FCCLESIASTICAL DIVISIONS. The Established Church of England is governed by the King as its supreme head. Under him are two Árch- bishops and twenty-five Bishops. The inferior Clergy are styled Deans, Archdeacons, Deacons, &c. The ecclesias- tical division of England may be seen in the following Table :- Province of Canterbury.

LEIGH’S NEW PICTURE of LONDON, with Views and Fifty-four Characteristic Sketches by Row LANDson, coloured, 18mo. bound. Price 15s. There has been for some years a book of this description in pos- session of the public; but the wonder is, how such a compilation should have been suffered so long to remain without a competitor more becoming the dignity of the subject, and deserving of general patronage. . The present Guide to the Metropolis is judiciously ar- ranged, and totally free from the spirit of party, either in politics or religion. It has obviously been compiled with great care from the best sources of intelligence, and seems evidently to have been elu- cidated by personal observation. The engraved representations of public buildings are very meatly executed, and the Plan of London is remarkably correct.–New Monthly Magazine. This well established volume may be safely recommended to the visitor of the metropolis, as an intelligent guide to the numerous interesting objects with which he is anxious to become acquainted. —Gentleman's Magazine. This work approximates with a surprising degree of rapidity to the goal of perfection ; and, as it is, contains an almost incredible quan- tity of information, both useful and curious, touching this modern Babylon of ours.—Monthly Review. Mr. Leigh says, “In the mature of things a Picture of London can- not be perfect;” but we shall say what his modesty does not allow him to do, that this is as perfect a Picture of London as the nature of things will permit.—Spectator.

With a Map of Scot- land, and Guide to the Curiosities of Edinburgh, 8s, bd. This compact and well-arranged Guide is exactly the kind of com- panion we should wish for in a trip to the beauties of the northern kingdom.—New Monthly Magazine. We have seen many more elaborate works than this convenient pub- lication, possessing a far less quantity of useful information. The traveller will find the present undertaking of Mr. Leigh's well adapted to his purpose, and as useful a guide upon his journey through Scot- land as he can wish. Fvery object of interest on the road is pointed out with care, and the particulars respecting it given in a concise and unaffected manner. The summer tourist will also find, at the end of the volume, plans of excursions, which are calculated to save him much time in his search after the picturesque.—Monthly Review. Similar to Mr. Leigh's useful and convenient Road-Books of Eng- land and Ireland, this little volume recommends itself strongly to public favour by the accuracy of its details and the excellent arrange- ment of its materials. It is very small and portable; very neat and well printed; and, in short, exactly what such a publication should be, as many a tourist to Scotland during ensuing summers will be ready to acknowledge, while they thank us for making its merits known to them.—Literary Gazette. The arrangement of the Road-Book of Scotland is clear and intel- ligible ; and, moreover, it is a book which may be read in the post- chaise or the parlour, on or off the road, before or after the journey, with equal pleasure.—Mirror. TRELAND. LEIGH’S NEW POCKET ROAD-BOOK of IRE- LAND, containing an Account of all the Direct and Cross- Roads; together with a Description of every Remarkable Place, its Curiosities, Manufactures, Commerce, Population, Inns, Mail Coach Routes, Fairs, and Market Days; the whole forming a complete guide to every object worthy of attention. Illustrated with a coloured Map of Ireland, Plans of Dublin and its curiosities, a Table of Relative Dis- tances, and a Map of the Lakes of Killarney. 10s. 6d. Bound. It would be quite impossible, we should think, to present the tra" veller, whatever be his views in undertaking a journey to Ireland, 493 with a volume in which so great and various a collection of useful to- pographical matter could be made to combine with so much conve- nience as to dimensions, and so much economy as to price.—Monthly Review. A neat, apparently correctly executed, and certainly a much wanted Road-Book. For Irish tiavelling it must be very useful; and, in sholt, we need only say on its behalf, that it is the counterpart of Mr. Leigh's similar publications respecting this countly.—Literary Gazette. e DESCRIPTIVE GUIDES, MAPS, DIALOGUES IN VARIOUS LANGUAGES, S. c.

This book is a complete pocket manual for travellers through that interesting countly, the Netherlands. The compiler has been inde- fatigable in his reseal ches iuto this newly-created kingdom. He conducts his leaders flom place to place in a familiar and very com- prehensive style, and describes everything worthy of particular ob- servation. The distances are accurately laid down, and the clarges of travelling correctly enumerated.—Critical Review. We are persuaded that any person, who is meditºting a trip to Holland and the Netherlands, will find his account in putting this “Belgian Traveller” into his pocket.—Monthly Review. This little volume contains an amusing and useful account of all that can be worthy of a tourist's observation in Belgium.

I hope that my tour has added something to the accuracy, and much to the succinctness, of my book; the experience which I gained in it has taught me to 㺠all long and narcotic descriptions, and re- taining only the kernel, to leave the shell to garrulous guides, and travellers who have sworn to fill an octavo. The Road-Book, which I have the honour of submitting to the public, not only contains 308 routes, but an account of several hundred places, with the names and situations of more than 1500,—Evtract from the Author's Preface.
