Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Nature at the English Lakes He certainly looked an old man, but his eye was bright; and the manner he came down from off that coach, as it pulled up in the Ambleside market-place, would have surprised you. "Bless me," he said, "how changed everything is! Where is the woollen factory with its gallery for the weavers to pass out and peer over, or go down from by the steps into the street, when the coach pulled up short at the sign of the 'Old Black Cock'? Is that 'Queen's Hotel' all that remains to us of the 'Black Cock, ' and the home of the weavers' industry that used to go on in an upper story above it? And where is the quaint bit of timber and stucco that used to act as roof-tree above the hollow entry close beside 'Old Mickey's, ' the bread baker - Mickey, the maker of 'snaps' that won immortality for their crispness and their flavour? All gone? Where, then, is the ancient Cross-House, beneath whose open portico, on every Thursday at eleven o'c1ock at the sound of the bell that used to hang on the chimney close by, the yarn spinners brought their yarns to be 'scaled' and priced?

Download or read book The English Lakes Classic Reprint written by William Thomas Palmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English Lakes is a lovely exploration of the English Lake District and includes 75 delightful paintings by A. Heaton Cooper. The English Lakes focuses on the nature of the lakes and the natural phenomena that surround them. The result is a travelogue that helps the reader experience what it is like to travel down the lakes on various watercraft, as well as journey throughout the region by foot. The Lake District is most closely associated with the Romantic poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, De Quincey, Southey and others. Palmer travels through the major waterways, stopping at hotels, villages and cottages and relating stories about the poets, particularly Wordsworth. In one memorable chapter, Palmer stays in a cottage on Rothay, recreating the life of William Wordsworth. He explores Rydal and Grasmere, where some of Wordsworth's most famous poems were written, including "The Prelude." The English Lake also discusses local legends like the Hermit of Derwentwater on St. Herberts Island. The island was named after St. Herbert, who was a disciple of St Cuthbert of Lindisfarne. He chose the remote location so that nothing could distract him from constant prayer. St. Herbert died on the same day as St. Cuthbert and it was then that St. Herbert's Island became a place of pilgrimage. The English Lake feels like a conversation between the reader, Palmer and the lakes themselves. One could can use the book as a travel companion or just use it to learn more about the history, geography and poetry of the Lake District.

Download or read book The English Lake District Fisheries Classic Reprint written by John Watson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Lake District Fisheries MV apology for offering this work to the public is that the Editors of the Angler's Library have kindly asked me to write it; and because all my life I have been specially interested in the F isheries of the Lake District. This magnificent system of lakes, tarns, and rivers, now constitute fisheries mainly in a potential sense only; for there is not the slightest comparison between the sport or food supply they yield to-day with what they might and will - yield in the not distant future. A few years ago fish-culture and the management of fisheries were in their infancy but of late the knowledge of the subject has made enormous strides. Once the results of systematic te-stocking are seen, the cul tivation of water will be looked upon far differently to what it is to-day. There is probably no like area in the whole of Great Britain which has so many natural advantages in this respect as the English Lake District, but as yet these advantages have been but little realised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Descriptive Guide to the English Lakes and Adjacent Mountains: With Notices of the Botany, Mineralogy, and Geology of the District Guides and Tours to the Lakes have been and continue to be offered to the Public in various forms and sizes; but they are chiefly devoted to a single object - the picturesque appearance of the Country; to the exclusion of other important considerations. It is admitted, that the gratification of the eye is a leading motive with many of those who make the Tour of the Lakes; but it is not so with all. The reflecting mind will feel more satisfaction in having gained some knowledge of the structure, the natural history, and productions of the region he has visited. As a resident among the objects he attempts to describe, the Author of this Manual has possessed many opportunities of making observations, which will escape the notice of the transient visiter - the compiler from the works of others - or even of one who undertakes a tour for the professed purpose of making a book. Availing himself of these advantages, and a little experience in surveying, he constructed a Map of the District, divested of many errors which had been copied into former maps, and containing some particulars not to be found in any other. This Map has been accompanied with such descriptions, directions, and remarks, as were judged likely to be serviceable to the future Tourist; in conducting him through the most eligible paths for viewing the varied scenery, and at the same time conveying some information on the structure and phenomena of these interesting regions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book to the English Lakes: With Map and Engravings That a small Guide, or Hand-Book, pointing out, and briefly describing all the places of interest in the Lake District, and reduced to a more portable and convenient size than any hitherto published, has long been a desideratum, it is almost needless to mention; and, now that railway communication enables parties to approach in a cheap, easy, and expeditious manner, additional numbers will avail themselves of the opportunity of visiting a country which in scenery, in historic and poetic associations, and the want of a Guide not so cumbersome or expensive as those at present in use must have been deeply felt. The present Work is intended to supply this deficiency. The Compiler has indicated the best routes to be taken, and has given, in a concise form, an account of those objects worthy of being visited, placing them in that order in which the tourist will find them; and where more routes than one can be taken they are pointed out, leaving the visiter to select at his option, and adopt those most suiting his time and convenience.
