		BRATHAY BRIDGE NEAR AMBLESIDE.
		IT has been already remarked in the preceding set that this country derives no inconsiderable advantage in respect of beauty from the form of it's buildings and bridges. The present view is selected principally with design of illustrating and confirming the observation. The scene itself lies upon the road leading from Ambleside to Hawkshead about a mile distant from the former place. It can hardly fail to attract the notice of the admirer of landscape and has not unfrequently called into exercise the powers of the artist. The long lines and flat roofs so much admired in the Italian buildings are peculiarly striking. The houses form a part of the village of Clappersgate. ...
